Coming up next on the Jordan Harbinger Show.

People who are in extreme states of grief, sometimes trauma, what you actually see is their stress response system basically shuts down.

Because the brain and body does not feel like there's anything you can do. And that sort of defeat response is actually the opposite of stress.

Stress isn't only toxic. The mindset that's most effective is, stress is what arises when something that you care about is at stake and your brain and body think there's something you can do about it.

Welcome to the show. I'm Jordan Harbinger. On the Jordan Harbinger Show, we decode the stories, secrets and skills of the world's sharpest minds and most fascinating people.

And turn their wisdom into practical advice that you can use to impact your own life and those around you.

We want to help you see the matrix when it comes to how these amazing people think and behave.

Our mission here on the show is to help you become a better informed, more critical thinker so you can get a much deeper understanding of how the world works and make sense of what's really happening.

If you're new to the show, we've got episodes with spies and CEOs, athletes and authors, thinkers and performers as well as toolboxes for skill sets like negotiation, body language, persuasion and more.

So, if you're smart and you like to learn and improve, you're going to be right at home here with us.

Today on the show, Kelly McGonagall, she's a health psychologist and lecturer at Stanford University who is known for her work in the field of it.

I guess you'd call it science help, which focuses on translating insights from psychology and neuroscience into practical strategies that support health and well-being.

And I've known her for a while, I've known her for a work for a while, she's a great person and a really good researcher.

Y'all know me, I like to stay science-based when it comes to pretty much everything, so Kelly and I are going to break down some of the science of stress. And why, even though stress might feel like something we should avoid or ignore,

that is comfort and pressures we feel when we're under stress might actually be good for us.

We'll learn to look at stress as a set of superpowers bestowed upon us by nature.

Finally, we'll explore how we can trust and appreciate our body's stress response. In other words, stress might actually be good for you, and this episode is about how to get good at stress or at least at managing stress.
