Episode notes
Med School Move-in Disaster
- Dr. K recounts losing housing days before starting medical school and becoming physiologically unable to eat or sleep due to high cortisol.
- That stress vividly illustrates how acute material threats can obliterate mental skills and performance.
Fix Basic Needs Before Deep Work
- If your material circumstances (eviction, job loss) create chronic stress, prioritize fixing those first because stress impairs sleep, appetite, and cognition.
- Polish your resume, network aggressively, and look for alternate jobs to reduce physiological stress and restore capacity to work on mental health.
Context Shapes Recovery
- Housing-first approaches show that stabilizing material context enables recovery from addiction and improves job prospects.
- Context strongly shapes mental health; treating internal problems without fixing environment is often futile.
