Full Description
Develop resilience and longevity at the most fundamental level in this guide to giving your body the right kind of stress for long-term health, healing, and vitality.
What if everything you were taught about stress was wrong? What if the key to your overall health, longevity, and well-being wasn't about eliminating stress—but rather deliberately exposing your body to certain types of stressors to make it stronger, more resilient, and more energized?
Ari Whitten, M.S., renowned functional health practitioner and founder of the Energy Blueprint, dives into your body's key mechanism for slowing aging and having a longer lifespan: hormesis. Hormesis is the process by which temporary exposure to certain types of stress—including exercise, holding your breath, sunlight, fasting, cold, or heat—stimulates the body to adapt and be able to withstand greater amounts of that stressor plus develop greater resilience overall.
Brimming with the latest scientific research, Whitten shares:
· Hidden reasons we become easily overwhelmed
· Forces that determine our body's resilience and how fast we age
· Actionable strategies to prevent disease, enhance physical health, and bolster brain performance
With Whitten's guidance, you'll learn to expose your body intentionally and systematically to the right hormetic stressors in the right amounts in order to live your fullest life.
