Blake Guss: Mental Health Expert Explains How STRESS Can Actually Kill You


Listen Later

Welcome back to another episode of The One Percent Podcast; as always, thank you for tuning in and showing support on every single episode. In this episode, I sit down with the mediation coach and Co-Founder of Online Meditation Events, Blake Guss. Blake has over ten years of experience in teaching meditation. He has held workshops and seminars at NYU, Deloitte, and various schools to bring awareness to the benefits of meditation and why we should partake in it every day. We discuss in this episode multiple topics, such as how stress is the number one cause and root of diseases, how suppressing emotions affects our brain chemistry, healing our childhood wounds, and spirituality as a whole. It is an incredible episode from which I believe everyone can draw value.
