Ten protocols to counteract the ""chronic ease"" that creates our modern epidemic of dis-ease, from a wellness industry leader who can prove they work-because he's tested them on himself.

Jeff Krasno, founder and CEO of the global wellness platform Commune Media, thought he was healthy. He suffered from brain fog, chronic fatigue and insomnia, but this seemed normal in today's society. When he learned he had diabetes, he thought, How can that be? I run a wellness company!

Jeff was propelled to engage in 'me-search', including interviews with 300 doctors, to turn his health around. Good Stress outlines a practical programme for readers to reset their health based on what he learned.

Discover how chronic disease, including diabetes, dementia, heart disease and cancer, is the result of chronic ease- an endless abundance of calories, sedentary desk jobs, exposure to blue light and separation from nature. Humans evolved with Paleolithic stressors and scarcity, which conferred health and resilience. To rebalance, we need to thoughtfully subject our bodies and minds to the stressors we're built for.

Good Stress distils conversations with Gabor Mate, Mark Hyman, Marianne Williamson, Sharon Salzberg and more. Jeff's wise and relatable voice guides you through 10 practices, including-

Time-restricted eating

Cold and heat exposure

Light therapy

Eating 'stressed plants'

And more.

Jeff shares his experience with each practice, unpacks the science behind it - and its effects - and explains how to do it safely and mindfully.

Jeff Krasno is the CEO and founder of Commune Media, a masterclass platform for well-being featuring the world's most renowned authors and teachers. As the face of the platform, Jeff hosts the Commune podcast, which features over 520 episodes and currently generates over 750,000 monthly downloads, where he has interviewed a wide variety of luminaries from Deepak Chopra to Marianne Williamson to Matthew McConaughey. In addition, Jeff pens a weekly ""Commusing"" essay exploring well-being, spirituality, and culture that is distributed to an email list of over one million people. The Commune brand comes to life on a 10-acre retreat center and production facility in Topanga, California, where Jeff hosts immersive events, book launches, and masterminds-including regular retreats where he lectures and leads participants through the protocols of Good Stress. A prolific cultivator of community, Jeff is also the co-creator of Wanderlust, a global series of wellness events that have been integral to popularizing the practice and principles of yoga in the U.S. and beyond. In 2016, he was selected by Oprah Winfrey to be part of the SuperSoul100 as one of the nation's leading entrepreneurs. Jeff is married to his college sweetheart, Schuyler Grant. They live in Los Angeles and have three daughters. Schuyler Grant is the founder and co-director of Kula Yoga Project in NYC, the co-creator of Wanderlust, and co-owner/director of the Commune Topanga retreat center. Schuyler developed a unique and beloved style of alignment-based vinyasa called Kula Flow. The advanced teacher training she has led for over two decades has minted teachers and studio owners worldwide. She was also a creator of the 200- and 300-hour trainings for both Kula and Wanderlust. She is a regular contributor to the Commune platform, which hosts a dozen of her asana and breathwork courses. She is especially proud of Empowered Birth, a course she hosted and co-produced to support women's journey through pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum. Schuyler opened the first Kula just two blocks north of Ground Zero in 2002, in an effort to help bring some heart and community back to Lower Manhattan. She is exceedingly proud that Kula is still going strong in SoHo and Williamsburg, Brooklyn. She now resides in Los Angeles, with her beloved Jeff Krasno, their three daughters, and four chickens. She leads regular retreats and trainings, and considers herself exceptionally lucky to still love vinyasa-style yoga-and the same man-after all these years. www.onecommune.com
