On this episode of Conversations with Tom, Rangan and Tom Bilyeu discuss how crucially important human touch is, and talk extensively about how harmful stress is. Dr. Chatterjee even claims that stress is a bigger part of digestive disorders than food is. This is not the only controversial claim he makes, but he has both the research and the life experience treating patients to back up what he says. After watching this episode you may very well conclude that it\u2019s the simple things that we need to get right: human touch, intimacy, and relaxation. The complexity and the tech can wait.\n\nThis episode is brought to you by: \nSkillshare: Explore your creativity at skillshare.com/impacttheory for 2 free months of Premium Membership.\nTresta: Start your free 30-day trial at tresta.com/impact\n\nSHOW NOTES:\xa0\nRangan talks about hanging on to the toxic emotion of guilt as a parent [0:04]\nHow do you let go of toxic emotions?
