About this episode

Is it possible for entrepreneurs to find a real balance between demanding business goals and personal well-being? In this episode, I sit down with Chris Kresser, a renowned functional medicine expert and the visionary behind Adapt Naturals. We dive into his personal transformation, detailing his shift from managing a high-stress digital training business to pursuing a lifestyle that prioritizes personal fulfillment without sacrificing professional success.

Listen as Chris shares insights on the practical application of balance in everyday life, the strategic importance of nurturing personal interests to offset work pressures, and his journey in restructuring his professional life to support his well-being. We also discuss the inception of Adapt Naturals and how he designed the business to ensure sustainable growth, minimal staffing, and alignment with his personal values.
