Good stress : the health benefits of doing hard things
"Jeff Krasno, the founder and CEO of the global wellness platform Commune Media, thought he was pretty healthy. Though he suffered from brain fog, chronic fatigue, and bouts of insomnia, those symptoms seemed utterly normal in today's society. When he learned he had diabetes, his first thought was, How can that be? I run a wellness company! His diagnosis propelled him to consult every expert at his disposal and engage in intensive "me-search" in order to turn his health around. On this journey, he began to form a larger picture of what's wrong with our health in the modern world. In Good Stress--co-authored with his wife, Schuyler Grant, who shepherded him through 300-plus interviews with doctors and helped distill the results into actionable information--Jeff shares what he's learned and outlines a practical program for readers to reset their own health." -- Provided by Amazon.
