On this episode of The Resetter podcast, I bring you Jeff Krasno.

So this conversation is so unique.

We're going to talk about stress, but we're going to talk about it from a very different lens,

not from avoiding it, but from microdosing it and why it is so

important to put ourselves in stressful environments. This is something that I feel like the

culture really needs to begin to talk about. Because when we don't microdose stress, what ends up happening is we don't know how to handle

the big stressors. So in training our nervous system, our psychology, our physiology,

on how we can handle the small amounts of stress when the big stressors come in, we are way more equipped.

So this is really the center of Jeff's new book called Good Stress. And some of you may know

Jeff. He actually was the co-founder of Wanderlust. So I don't know, I mean, I can tell you that many

years ago, I went to many Wanderusts, festivals, doing yoga and music.

He co-founded that, and he's now CEO and founder of one commune.

But Jeff and I connected, what's really interesting is Jeff and I connected about a year ago,

and we were looking to collaborate on some projects together.

And when we first started to get to know each other, he brought forward something that he did during the pandemic that blew my mind.

He basically started conversations with people who on social media and through his blog disagreed with him.

He sought those conversations out, which I'm just going to be really transparent.

That wouldn't have been in my wheelhouse to go seek difficult conversations out.

But in doing that, he discovered a way in which we can psychologically and

physiologically handle small amounts of stress in order to make our lives better. I'm not going to

tell you anymore because we talk about these conversations. We talk about how the body is built for homeostasis.

And if we're always keeping ourselves in comfort, we are actually building dis-ease.
