The big takeaway

Jeff Krasno explores how our over-comfortable, convenience-obsessed modern lifestyles have led to chronic stress and disease, while simultaneously starving us of the “good stress” our bodies and minds evolved to handle. By reintroducing discomforts like fasting, temperature changes, and honest communication, Jeff makes the case that we can realign with our biology, boost resilience, and find more genuine well-being.
