Your body already knows how to heal itself — most of us just never learned how it works.
In 2016, Nobel Prize–winner Yoshinori Ohsumi discovered the mechanisms behind autophagy, your cells’ natural recycling and repair system.

In this Rule of Reason short episode, Zac explains autophagy in simple, everyday language — no jargon, no overcomplication — and shows how this discovery connects to personal responsibility, gratitude, stress, inflammation, and becoming the best version of yourself.

In this episode you’ll learn:
• What autophagy actually is
• How your cells repair themselves
• Why Ohsumi’s research matters for ordinary people
• How movement, rest, fasting, and lowering stress activate cellular repair
• Why modern life works against your built-in healing systems
• How to use simple choices to let your body reset

Rule of Reason exists to bring hope and perspective back into everyday life — cutting through noise, nihilism, and social media chaos by helping you see what’s still good, what’s still possible, and what you can still change.
