Agreed. I recently started a very physical job after decades of laptop work. Your personality changes quick, anxiety levels etc, as your body adapts. This is at 54 after 3 decades as an IC writing software. Lifestyle is by far the biggest driver, the body’s record is read-write memory rather than write-once.

Took a gap year at 26, farming. I’m not surprised that I got superlean. But for the first time since I was 13, I didn’t eat my words. My stress went down, but I could finally spell out words with full vowels (I usually just say the consonants). I’m also generally low self-esteem, low recognition, low hope, and for a short time I was easily dating, hopeful and it was easy to take strong decisions.
