A few years ago, Jeff Krasno thought he was pretty healthy...
Though he suffered from brain fog, chronic fatigue, and bouts of insomnia, those symptoms seemed utterly normal in today’s society. When he learned he had diabetes, his first thought was, "How can that be? I run a wellness company!"
His diagnosis propelled him to consult every expert at his disposal and engage in an intensive “me-search” to turn his health around. On this journey, he began to form a larger picture of what’s wrong with health in the modern world.
In his new book Good Stress (co-authored with his wife, Schuyler Grant, who shepherded him through 300-plus interviews with doctors and helped distill the results into actionable information) Jeff shares what he’s learned and outlines a practical program for readers to reset their own health—and in today's podcast we unpack it all.
Jeff explains that the comforts and conveniences of modern life in the developed world undermine human biology. People evolved with Paleolithic stressors and scarcity, which conferred health and resilience.
Modern life sets you up for diabetes, dementia, heart disease, cancer, and more. Chronic disease is the result of chronic ease: an endless abundance of calories, sedentary desk jobs, exposure to blue light, and separation from nature. To come back into balance, you need to thoughtfully subject your body and mind to the stressors you’re naturally built for.
