Listen Later

Learn how to live longer, healthier, and happier by reframing your relationship to stress — it's time to stress ourselves "the right way". The Science is showing that stress is beneficial and it helps build resilience. In this fascinating interview you'll learn about a new approach to stress management. "It's Stress 2.0" according to my guest, top doctor and leading researcher, Dr. Sharon Horesh Bergquist. Once you listen you'll have a new understanding about how to view stress and use it to improve your health.

"Dr. Bergquist unpacks a surprising paradox: our bodies actually need stress to thrive; by deliberately stressing yourself the right way, you will heal, repair, and regenerate your body. In her forthcoming book The Stress Paradox: Why You Need Stress to Live Longer, Healthier, and Happier, Dr. Bergquist explains that brief bursts of "good" stress, such as fasting, high-intensity exercise, and cold and hot exposure, can activate our cellular repair mechanisms and lead to better overall health, increased energy, and even improved longevity." So excited for you to listen + share this conversation with all of your friends!
