She says all of her friends her age (27) with kids are miserable. Agree or disagree?How to harness good stress: Find the “Goldilocks zone” - The key is finding the sweet spot that's not too much or too little stress and you have to push yourself a little to find it. “Challenge yourself to go outside your comfort zone without feeling overwhelmed,” the expert advises.Don't just positively reframe the stress in your life - Take action with meaningful and purpose-driven challenges, like taking on a new job opportunity or learning a new skill.Be strategic about recovery - “To grow from stress, you have to make time for rest and recovery,” Bergquist explains. You need that for your body and brain to reset and build new connections to better handle future challenges.Lean into the body-mind connection - Physically stressing yourself can help build mental resilience and vice versa, according to this stress researcher. She explains, “When you experience good physical or psychological stress, you repair and regenerate your cells, which makes every part of your body healthier and stronger.”Trust that you were made for some stress - Humans were built to overcome stress and get stronger because of it. It's okay to be scared and want to avoid challenges, but Bergquist says, “Trust and do it anyway. The result can be life-changing.”Second Date Update: Alexis calls us about Dave.

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.

Jeff Krasno, the founder and CEO of the global wellness platform Commune Media, thought he was pretty healthy.

When he learned he had diabetes, his first thought was, How can that be? I run a wellness company! In this video, I interview Jeff about his new book "Good Stress," why doing hard things can actually be GOOD for your health, and the surprising ways people healing from past trauma might benefit from doing things that are hard.

Why do some stressors make us stronger, while others break us down? How can we train ourselves to return to center when life throws us off course? And what is the ultimate determinant of health and happiness? In this powerful episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with my dear friend Jeff Krasno — co-founder of Commune and Wanderlust, host of the Commune Podcast, and author of the upcoming book, "Good Stress: The Benefits of Doing Hard Things." Jeff unpacks the science of resilience, exploring how intentional stressors — like cold plunges, fasting, and difficult conversations — not only strengthen the body but also sharpen the mind and enhance emotional intelligence. He shares how his own journey of self-discovery led him to recognize his lifelong mission of bringing people together in deep, meaningful connection - and reframing how we can use challenges for our own good. Through personal stories, cutting-edge research, and wisdom gathered from some of the world's greatest minds, Jeff reveals the hidden power of community, the physiological magic of discomfort, and the tools we can all use to find balance in a chaotic world. Together, we explore how small but powerful changes can shift the way we approach stress, connection, and our own potential. Listen in and discover tools to help build resilience, embrace challenges, and create true ease in your life.

On this episode of This vs. That, we explore the fascinating topic of good stress versus bad stress with our guest Eliza Huie, Director of Counseling at McLean Bible Church and biblical counseling instructor at Reform Theological Seminary. We discuss how certain types of stress can actually be beneficial for growth and motivation, while other forms can be detrimental to our wellbeing. Drawing from her expertise as a licensed professional counselor and author of "I'm Stressed: A Path from Pressure to Peace," we examine the differences between "eustress" (good stress) and "distress" (bad stress). We also explore how stress can strengthen us physically, mentally, and spiritually, while uncovering practical ways to manage and understand the role of stress in our daily lives.
