Why “Less Stress” Might Be Killing Your Potential with Dr. Sharon Bergquist 

Why “Less Stress” Might Be Killing Your Potential with Dr. Sharon Bergquist 

The Hidden Stress That’s Sabotaging Your Body and Mind What if the real reason you're stuck, sick, or stressed isn't just your schedule—but the way your nervous system is wired to survive, not thrive? In this life-changing conversation with Dr. Sharon Bergquist—a leading internal medicine physician, researcher, and founder of the first integrative health center at Emory University—we go deep into the science of whole-person health. And I’m telling you: this will shift how you think about stress, healing, and what it really takes to feel well. Dr. Bergquist breaks down the truth about how chronic stress, trauma, and even low-grade inflammation are quietly wrecking your health behind the scenes—even when you're eating right and exercising. We’re not talking about surface-level tips here. This is about the deep work that affects everything: your immune system, mental clarity, metabolism, energy, and even how fast you age. And the wild part? Most people don’t even realize how much stress their body is carrying until it’s already showing up as symptoms. We talk about how early childhood adversity changes your biology, why mindset alone isn’t enough to heal, and how you can actually retrain your nervous system to shift out of fight-or-flight and into a state of calm, clarity, and repair. Dr. Bergquist shares practical steps you can start today—from breathwork and emotional regulation to purpose-driven habits—that work with your body, not against it. This isn’t just a medical conversation—it’s a blueprint for resilience. Because if you're chasing peak performance but ignoring your internal state, you’re driving with the brakes on. Dr. Bergquist calls it “healthspan”—living longer and better. And that starts with how you manage your stress, how you process pain, and how you learn to feel safe in your own body again. Key Takeaways: Why chronic stress is one of the biggest threats to your long-term health How early life adversity can silently shape your health trajectory The link between emotional trauma, immune dysfunction, and aging How to activate your parasympathetic nervous system and promote healing Simple, science-backed strategies to improve your healthspan starting today The difference between treating symptoms and building true resilience If your body has been telling you something’s off—or if you just know it’s time to feel good again—this episode is your roadmap. — Max Out. 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈 → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ INSTAGRAM ➡️FACEBOOK ➡️ LINKEDIN ➡️ X ➡️ WEBSITE Learn more about your ad choices.
