0:00.0	Welcome to the Commune podcast. My name is Jeff Krasnow. Today on the show, I am joined by
0:13.7	Commune co-founder and a longtime friend Jacob Lab. Together, we had a conversation about difficult conversations and why we need to
0:23.7	lean into having more of them. If you've been listening to the show recently, you've been hearing
0:28.9	me espouse the benefits of good stress and working adversity memetics, essentially mimicking
0:36.1	adversity into your life. Difficult conversations can be
0:40.4	understood as just that. Jake and I contend that exposure to difficult conversations can build
0:48.6	psychological antibodies, increasing overall resilience. Now in today's hyper-divided world, this may feel like
0:58.2	an intimidating challenge, but fear not, we have provided some techniques to approach tough
1:04.8	talks. But before we dive in, I'm thrilled to announce my new commune course titled Good Stress. Now in this course I share
1:13.6	10 good stress protocols that helped me lose 60 pounds, reverse my pre-diabetes, improve my sleep,
1:20.9	and yes, build my psychological immune system, and feel more engaged. Now periods of calorie
1:26.9	restriction, exposure to extreme heat and cold,
1:30.3	early morning light, intense physical labor, connection to nature, and face-to-face communication
1:36.1	were simply part of life for tens of thousands of years. And guess what? We evolved in relation
1:43.5	to these Paleolithic and, yes, sometimes harsh
1:46.8	environmental conditions. These stressors, as I explain in my course, activated longevity
1:53.2	pathways and built resilience and fostered homeostasis balance. But now in an era of uber convenience, we need to purposefully self-impose
2:04.1	these good stressors as a means to be well. Now, this program breaks down the protocols of fasting,
2:11.1	deliberate cold and heat therapy, light therapy, and resistance training. And yes, my good
2:16.9	stress protocols go well beyond the physical. I outline
2:20.5	methods to build concentration and even prescribe a social fitness regimen as the strength of your
2:28.3	social connections need to be as strong as your biceps. So you can sign up and get the first five days for free at one commune.com forward slash
