Silicon Valley Burnout Nearly Broke Me — Stress Lives in the Body | Andre Crabb

Andre Crabb is a former Silicon Valley engineer turned stress performance specialist and the creator of the Mind Works Method. After facing a complete mental and physical breakdown — despite doing everything “right” like therapy and meditation — Andre went deeper. He studied how stress is actually stored in the body and built a system to release it at the root.

Now he helps high performers dissolve stress, quiet mental noise, and regain their edge — not through motivation, but through physiology.

In this practical and eye-opening conversation, Andre shares:

• What success looked like in his 20s (and why it felt empty)

• Early signs that stress was building beyond what he could handle

• The mental noise, stuttering, and cognitive decline he experienced

• Why therapy, coaching, and meditation weren’t enough

• The realization that stress is stored physically in the body

• How he developed a body-based approach that finally worked

• Why most people (especially in their 20s) are solving the wrong problem

If you’re in your 20s pushing hard, feeling burned out, stuck in mental noise, or wondering why conventional tools aren’t fixing the deeper stress, this episode offers a different, physiology-first path.
