Good Stress

A groundbreaking guide… Essential for anyone seeking to harness the power of ‘in-convenience’ to achieve optimal health and wellbeing.’

Jeff Krasno, founder and CEO of global wellness platform Commune Media, thought he was pretty healthy. He suffered from brain fog, chronic fatigue and bouts of insomnia, but this seemed normal in today’s society. When he learned he had diabetes, his first thought was, How can that be? I run a wellness company!

Jeff consulted every expert at his disposal to turn his health around. Good Stress outlines a programme for readers to reset their health based on what he learned.

Discover how chronic disease, including diabetes, dementia, heart disease and cancer, is the result of chronic ease: an endless abundance of calories, sedentary desk jobs, exposure to blue light and separation from nature. Humans evolved with Paleolithic stressors and scarcity, which conferred health and resilience. To rebalance, we need to thoughtfully subject our bodies and minds to the stressors we’re built for.

Good Stress distils conversations with Gabor Maté, Mark Hyman, Marianne Williamson, Sharon Salzberg and more. Jeff’s wise voice guides you through 10 practices, including time-restricted eating, cold and heat exposure, light therapy, eating ‘stressed plants’ and more.
