Ever heard that stress can be good for you? In this episode, Dr. Boz and Coach Chris dive into hormesis—the science behind how small, intentional stressors can help your hormones function better. Discover why cortisol needs to peak to valley instead of staying stuck in a constant “smoldering” state and how that ties into insulin resistance, metabolism, and energy balance.

If you’ve struggled with adrenal fatigue, stress, or blood sugar swings, this one’s for you. Learn why your body needs those healthy hormonal ups and downs to truly thrive.

• What “hormesis” means for your hormones
