Summary

In this excerpt from his new book, GOOD STRESS, Jeff reminds us that health, in all of its expressions, arises from balance. Your organism is full of counterposing molecules, processes, and systems, all maintaining a delicate equilibrium. Disease, then, is a result of imbalance, a failure to maintain this homeostasis.
