Example - we know sugars are inflammatory and we spend much of the end of the year indulging and then people often find they get sick more frequently. Would GNM say we need to only be identifying specific conflicts or are the conflicts magnified / intensified by other physiological processes? - What if any risks are associated with utilizing German new medicine? - If one wanted to learn more- what resources would you recommend? Exclusively learninggnm.com or is there anything else? - Mention that I’ve seen others have books podcasts etc but I’ve also seen on the learning gnm website that many have taken things out of context and even presented works as gnm that contradict gnm itself Sound Design: Simeon Sjoberg 2026 Photo Credit: Hen House - Megan Wingo : Other photos - Margout Abatto
