Happy Tuesday, !

You know that saying: “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”?

Turns out… your biology agrees!

But we’re not talking about burnout, anxiety, or sprinting from one deadline to the next.

We’re talking about intentional stress—short bursts of something challenging that signals your body to repair, reboot, and bounce back even stronger. 💪

It’s called hormesis, and it’s one of the most underrated tools for longevity and better health!

Basically: When your body gets the right kind of stress—it activates your natural healing systems.

We’re talking: 

✅ DNA repair

✅ More energy from better mitochondria

✅ Lower inflammation

✅ Improved brain function + insulin sensitivity

✅ Boosted stem cells + detox pathways

All from stuff like: 

• Fasting (aka not eating for 12–14 hrs overnight)
• Cold showers
• Saunas or hot yoga
• Strength training!
• Qigong (movement meditation)

And here’s the AMAZING part:

You don’t need to do all the things to start seeing results.

You just need to challenge your body a little—and let the recovery do the rest.

Try this: 

🚿Cold shower in the morning (even 30–60 seconds counts)

🔥 Hot bath or sauna before bed to wind down & reduce inflammation

💪 Add a 15-minute strength circuit (bodyweight works!) 2–3x/week

⏰ Stop eating 2–3 hrs before bed (+ aim for 12–14 hrs between dinner + breakfast)

A little goes a LONG way.

Are you doing any of these things already!? Shoot me a reply back to let me know

Make it an amazing evening!

Keep up the good work,
