In today’s fast-paced, hyperconnected world, stress feels like the norm. But what if I told you that our very biology hasn’t caught up? This episode hits close to home as I sit down with Justin Hai, CEO of Rebalance Health, a company dedicated to tackling cortisol – the “master hormone” that governs so much of how we feel, sleep, and live.

Justin shares his deeply personal story about his wife’s diagnosis of Cushing’s, a condition that launched his relentless pursuit to restore her health. His love, determination, and commitment to finding answers is inspiring, raw, and relatable. From the pressures of constant connection to our addiction to speed, Justin breaks down how technology and lifestyle are wreaking havoc on our cortisol levels and ultimately, our happiness.

We talk about sleep, stress, hormones, and the simple but forgotten practices that can change your life: grounding yourself in nature, cherishing quality sleep, and creating mindful habits with technology. This isn’t just science it’s a call to slow down, take control, and reconnect with what matters most.
