114. From Fight-or-Flight to Healing Mode: 3 Ways to Help Your Body Recover from Stress

You may not be able to eliminate every stressful thing in your life—but you can help your body spend less time in fight or flight and more time in rest and repair.

In this episode, we explore what chronic fight-or-flight changes inside the body and why repeated stress can interfere with sleep, digestion, immune regulation, inflammation, and even physical repair. You’ll hear the remarkable story of ALS survivor Stephen Sherry, who became so practiced at calming his mind that he learned to shift himself out of stress within seconds.

Most importantly, you’ll learn three practical ways to create more periods of recovery throughout your day—including slow breathing, short nervous-system resets, and a simple way to stop turning stress reduction into one more thing you can fail at.
