Julian Paton Proves My Gains Are Actually Killing Me

So the University of Auckland just decided that the brain's lateral parafacial region—the spot that handles laughing and exercise—is the secret 'kill switch' for blood pressure. Julian Paton literally found a way to make being successful and happy a medical liability. My blood vessels are tightening every time I secure a bag or hit a PR? Fine. If my brain wants to treat my hustle like a cardiac event, let it. I’d rather go out with a 120% pulse and a custom suit than live with low pressure and a mid life. Status comes with a price, even at the cellular level.
