but it gets its signal
from the brain.

1:15:07
One of the things about receptors is
they change in their sensitivity.

1:15:11
If a given receptor for a given drug
or internal juice...

1:15:16
is being bombarded for a long time
at a high intensity...

1:15:22
it will literally shrink up.
1:15:24
There will be less of them.
1:15:26
Or it will be hooked up
in such a way...

1:15:29
that it is desensitized
or downregulated.

1:15:33
So the same amount of drug
or internal juice...

1:15:37
will elicit
a much smaller response.

If we're bombarding the cell with
the same attitude and the same chemistry...

1:16:24
over and over again
on a daily basis...

1:16:27
when that cell finally
decides to divide...

1:16:31
when it produces a sister cell
or a daughter cell...

1:16:35
that next cell will have
more receptor sites...

1:16:40
for those particular
emotional neuropeptides...

1:16:43
and less receptor sites...
1:16:45
for vitamins, minerals,
nutrients, fluid exchange...

1:16:48
or even the release
of waste products or toxins.

Now, all aging is the result
of improper protein production.

1:16:55
What happens when we age?
1:16:58
Our skin gets--
loses elasticity.
