About this episode

Is there a difference between unhealthy stress and healthy stress?

Stress is a natural part of your life. In fact, a healthy amount of stress is important. You need it to develop a strong adaptive response to life’s demands. So why does stress so often feel like it’s the enemy when it comes to your productivity and health?

Our guest today is a physician specializing in stress. Dr. Aditi Nerukar is a Harvard physician, speaker, and television correspondent who’s work has redefined stress, burnout, and mental health. She’s also the bestselling author of The Five Resets: Rewire Your Brain and Body for Less Stress and More Resilience.

Healthy stress is productive. Unhealthy stress is maladaptive. But good things can come from stress. It serves a very functional purpose to move your life forward. The key is figuring out how much stress is too much. Listen in as Dr. Nerurkar reveals how the five resets can help you move maladaptive stress back to healthy levels that are in tune with the frequency of your life.
