In this insightful episode I sit down with Jeff Krasno, author of Good Stress: The Health Benefits of Doing Hard Things. Jeff shares his personal journey from a diabetes diagnosis to reclaiming health through embracing life's challenges. We delve into the concept of 'good stress'—how practices like fasting, cold exposure, and engaging in difficult conversations can enhance physiological, psychological, and social well-being. Jeff also discusses the evolutionary mismatch between our ancestors' stressors and today's comforts, offering practical strategies to harness stress for growth and resilience. Tune in to discover how doing hard things can lead to a healthier, more vibrant life!
