Summary

Today’s episode is an excerpt from the second chapter of Jeff’s new book GOOD STRESS. Jeff opens up about how it all began. His own health decline—marked by diabetes, chronic fatigue, and relentless brain fog—was the inevitable outcome of lifestyle choices molded by modern culture. And his path from sickness to vitality led him to ancient wisdom and evolutionary biology, where he discovered the power of good stress as a catalyst to reawaken the body’s natural resilience and restore true well-being.

If you like what you hear today, the audio version of Good Stress is available on Audible and you can listen to it for free as part of your premium Spotify membership. If you prefer the old-school analog option, you can purchase a hard copy at goodstress.com.

0:00.0	Welcome to the commune podcast. My name is Jeff Krasno.
0:08.9	Okay, today I'm featuring an excerpt from the audio version of my new book, Could Stress,

0:19.3	Now, this book distills the hundreds of interviews
0:21.8	I've done here on the podcast
0:23.5	and a whole lot of me search
0:25.2	into a consolidated guide for well-being.
0:28.7	My simple thesis is this.
0:31.4	Our culture has hijacked our biology,
0:34.6	and it's making us sick,
0:36.2	but there is an antidote, Good stress. In order to realign
0:41.4	with our biology and thrive, we must now self-impose the right dosage of deliberate
0:49.0	paleolithic stress. So in this book, I outlined the protocols and benefits of 10 use stress practices from
0:56.9	fasting and cold therapy to how to have stressful conversations. But there's also a good amount of
1:04.2	philosophy as I bridge the medical with the mystical, the empirical West with the intuitive east. If you like, what you're
1:14.4	here today and are inclined to support my work, I'd be really very appreciative. The audio
1:21.1	version of Good Stress is available on Audible, and you can listen to it for free as part of your
