For The Health Of It

Have We Started Overdosing on Wellness?

What if our pursuit of health is actually becoming another source of stress?

We’re tracking, fasting, supplementing, cold plunging, optimizing and trying to do all the “right” things, but sometimes more isn’t better. In this episode, we’re talking about the overlooked side of wellness: nervous system regulation, recovery, allostatic load, and why even healthy stressors can become too much when the body never gets a chance to come back down.

Maybe the next level of health isn’t doing more. Maybe it’s becoming more adaptable, recovering better, and knowing when enough is enough.

From lobotomies and leeches to low-fat everything, margarine, the food pyramid and our fear of eggs, health advice has changed—a lot. Jenny and Krystin look back at what we once believed, how we got it wrong, and the fascinating question: What are we absolutely sure about today that we’ll think differently about 50 years from now?
