How to stop feeling like crap

Most people think stress is something to avoid.

My friend Jeff Krasno thought that too—until his body told a different story.

Jeff is the co-founder of Commune and Wanderlust, two of the most influential platforms in the modern wellness space.

He was interviewing the top health experts in the world on his podcast. And still, he was chronically tired, foggy, and even re-diabetic.

This was confirmed when he strapped on a glucose monitor… and saw glucose spikes all over the place.

That was the wake-up call.

In our conversation, Jeff shares how he used something most of us avoid—discomfort—to reverse his health spiral.

He started taking daily cold showers. Walking and squatting more. Intermittent fasting. And he dropped 60 pounds!

Got his energy back. And now teaches what he calls Good Stress—simple practices that align with how we’re actually built to thrive.

In our conversation, you’ll learn:

  • A natural way to recharge your energy without pills, hacks, or gimmicks

  • How Jeff built emotional resilience and lost fat by doing cold showers

  • The daily shifts that helped him sleep better, think clearer, and feel stronger at 50 than he did at 40

  • Why the key to feeling good might be found in the things you’ve been avoiding

This one’s for anyone who’s feeling tired all the time, foggy, and out of sync—and suspects there’s more to the story when it comes to your health.

And if this conversation inspires you to add more good stress into your life, and you want to dive deeper, Jeff’s new book, Good Stress, is out now and available wherever books are sold.

To your health,

Light
