A short excerpt from a YouTube video by Dr. Tabatha Barber using a roller-coaster metaphor to give health advice: either opt out of highly stressful situations or choose less intense (smaller) experiences. The speaker contrasts extreme, frightening roller coasters with gentler rides at Disneyland to illustrate choosing lower-stress options for better health.
So I want to help you. Either get off the roller coaster completely or ride a smaller roller coaster. Right. I think of going to Disneyland, and you can ride the big roller coasters that drop your throat into your stomach and scare the bejesus out of you, or you can ride, like, the goofy roller coaster at Magic Kingdom with your kids. And it's fun, but it's not, like, really scary. It's just smaller. Like, little turns, a little bump here and there. So let's either get off the roller coaster completely or ride a smaller roller coaster. Okay. And I love roller coasters, but now, when it comes to my health.
