Summary

Let's face it: The last few years have been rough on all of us. Burnout, stress, and anxiety are ambient, and it's time to take matters into your own hands. The issue? Many don't know where to start. That's why I had Dr. Greg Hammer, MD, Stanford University professor, physician, best-selling author, and mindfulness expert on the show this week. He's got a simple 3-minute strategy that he calls the GAIN method to help manage stress and increase your resilience. In today's episode, he talks us through what the acronym stands for, how to execute, the importance of intention for overall wellbeing, and how to bring a non-judgmental approach to your every day.
