Episode Overview

We often think of stress as the enemy—but what if the right kind of stress is actually the path to a longer, healthier, more vibrant life?

In this episode of the Emotional Longevity Podcast, Dr. Elisha Goldstein sits down with Jeff Krasno—founder of Commune, host of the Commune podcast, and author of The Comfort Trap and Good Stress—to explore how leaning into specific types of stress can improve your psychological health, emotional resilience, and physical well-being.


Drawing from his personal health journey—including a diabetes diagnosis, chronic fatigue, and emotional dysregulation—Jeff shares how he flipped the script on stress. From ice baths to hard conversations, Jeff reveals how "adversity mimetics" (intentional stressors) can activate your body’s natural healing systems and improve everything from metabolic health to relationships.


Together, Elisha and Jeff explore:

  • The surprising link between emotional stress and physical disease
  • Why we need to reintroduce Paleolithic stressors into modern life
  • How small discomforts can build psychological immunity
  • Emotional regulation tools to navigate difficult conversations
  • The science of hormesis and how it activates longevity pathways
  • Why embracing adversity is essential to finding real ease
