Not all stress is bad — in fact, some of it is essential for growth.
In this episode, we’re diving into hormetic stress — the kind of short, controlled stress that makes you more resilient over time. Think cold plunges, lifting heavy, fasting, heat exposure, all the good things in life. It’s nature’s way of saying: “Hey, adapt or fall behind.”
We break down:
What hormetic stress actually is (and what it’s not)
How it’s different from chronic stress (spoiler: one builds you up, the other wears you down)
Real-life examples you can use today
Why recovery is non-negotiable for this kind of stress to actually work
Whether you’re an athlete, high performer, or just someone who wants to feel stronger in body and mind like myself — this episode is your crash course in becoming more anti-fragile.
Tune in, apply it, and start stacking wins for your long-term health.
