Did you know that stress can sometimes be a good thing? According to our guest this week, we can actually live with ease by doing things that are “hard.”

In this episode of Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This?, Emily Fletcher sits down with Jeff Krasno, the founder of Wanderlust and host of the Commune podcast, to explore how modern culture has engineered our lives for comfort at the cost of our long-term health and happiness. Jeff shares his journey from burnout to well-being, including the practices he adopted to reconnect with his body, manage chronic stress, and rediscover balance in a world designed for distraction.

Dive into a rich discussion about the impact of chronic inflammation, the power of uncomfortable conversations, and how short-term stressors like cold plunges and fasting can actually foster resilience and longevity. Discover why real wellness isn't just about feeling good today but about building a future that aligns with our deepest values and evolutionary design.
