What if the key to better health, deeper connections, and a more fulfilling life is actually doing hard things? In this enlightening and often humorous conversation, Dr. Scott Lyons sits down with Jeff Krasno, founder of Commune and Wanderlust, who transformed his health and life by embracing discomfort rather than avoiding it. Five years ago, Jeff was 65-70 pounds heavier and facing a diabetes diagnosis when he discovered the power of "good stress" - the kind that makes you stronger, more resilient, and more connected to others.Jeff shares his remarkable journey from being a "chubby kid" constantly relocating (11-12 times before age seven) to becoming what Scott calls "the fascia of community" - a super connector who brings people together. His childhood struggles to fit in across different countries and languages eventually became his superpower, leading him to create spaces where others could belong. Through his personal health transformation and spiritual awakening, Jeff discovered that chronic dis-ease is often the result of chronic ease - and that leaning into discomfort might be exactly what we need.From cold plunges and fasting to facilitating difficult conversations between Israeli and Palestinian students, Jeff reveals how embracing "good stress" can transform not just our physical health but our relationships and spiritual lives. As he beautifully puts it: "The true wonderful ease that we're looking for requires a degree of inconvenience."Topics We Break Down:How chronic ease leads to chronic diseaseThe concept of "good stress" and hormetic stressors (cold, heat, fasting)Jeff's protocol that helped him lose 65 pounds and reverse diabetesBuilding a "psychological immune system" through difficult conversationsThe spiritual dimensions of practices like fasting and cold exposureFinding the space between stimulus and response as the key to personal freedomWhy true ease comes from meaningful connection, not comfort

It leads to imbalances and disease. Good stress is paleolithic. It's short. It comes and goes.” “I'm quite certain that the source of my diabetes was equally psychological as it was physiological… I believe that living in a constantly stressed state was contributing to dysregulated blood sugar.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Get Jeff's Book: Good Stress Onecommune.com The Commune Podcast with Jeff Krasno Jeff's Instagram RELATED EPISODES #625: Effective Tools to Calm Stress Deregulation and Create Peace in the Chaos with Katie Wells 589: Effective Strategies and Tools to Calm Irritation, Mood Swings and Stress Deregulation Throughout Perimenopause #566: This Is What I Did to Finally Stop Operating in Stress, Overwhelm and Burnout with Dr. Mariza #518: How to Let Go of Stress Symptoms and Go from Surviving to Thriving with Dr. Izabella Wentz
