Finding Harmony: The Key To Resilience With Dr. Erik Korem


Listen Later

Resilience is not about eliminating stress, but finding the right dose and matching it with the right recovery. It's in this balance, in this harmony, that we perform at our best in every aspect of our lives. In this episode, Dr. Erik Korem, the founder of AIM7, delves into the topic of achieving resilience. He framed stress as the gas and brake in a car, where we constantly toggle between the two. The key to resilience is to find the right dose of stress and match it up with the right dose of recovery. Dr. Korem introduces the five pillars that lead to adaptability and provides research-backed advice on how to achieve them. He emphasized that stress is only a problem when it exceeds our capacity to adapt to it. When we adapt in an optimal way, we achieve harmony in the relationship between our parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. Dr. Korem also shares how improving in this aspect is key to excelling in different parts of life, including personal or work relationships and physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual wellbeing. Tune in to learn how to achieve harmony and resilience in your life.
