Welcome to the Commune podcast.

My name is Jeff Krasno.

Okay, today on the show, we have an excerpt from my Commune course titled Good Stress.

In this program, I walk you step by step through a set of 10 deliberate self-imposed acute stress protocols

that realign your lifestyle with your biology.

optimize my sleep and immune system, and reclaim my vibrancy,

and that disconnect is the source of so many of our problems and really all of the chronic

disease that we see.

Okay, so grab a towel because we're about to talk about cold therapy.

And then we'll warm things up about you.
