In this grounded and eye-opening episode of The Gynergy Effect, we (Garin & Yesi) sit down with a true master of human performance, Kyle Valery — co-founder of Stretch Affect and a pioneer in the science of optimization, recovery, and embodied living.

This isn’t just about stretching. It’s about stretching yourself — out of autopilot, out of dysfunction, and back into alignment with your body’s highest intelligence.

Kyle shares powerful stories and evidence-based tools from over 20 years of experience working with elite athletes, military leaders, high-performing CEOs, and everyday warriors. This conversation is a deep dive into how we heal, optimize, and sustain peak performance — not by doing more, but by tuning in more deeply.

We talk about:

• Why personal responsibility is the root of transformation
• How your nervous system impacts everything from sleep to injury
• Why inflammation, fatigue, and brain fog often start in the gut
• The “big five” foundations for optimizing health and energy
• Why consistency > intensity when it comes to results
• What blood work actually tells you — and how to interpret it proactively
• How to ask for help and advocate for yourself in a broken system
• The power of environment, assessment, and community in real change

Whether you're high-performing and hitting a plateau, or just starting to reconnect with your body’s needs — this episode will meet you where you are, and stretch you into where you’re meant to be.

Kyle reminds us: “You don’t need a full overhaul. Start with 1% of your day. That’s 15 minutes. What would change if you gave that time back to yourself?”

If you're ready to take ownership of your health, energy, and longevity — this one’s for you.
