Is all stress bad?For decades, medicine has treated stress as something purely harmful. But what if the right kind of stress is exactly what builds resilience, activates longevity genes, and strengthens mitochondrial health?In this episode, Dr. Bergquist joins us to unpack the science behind “good stress” — the mild to moderate stressors that activate cellular repair, stimulate autophagy, improve metabolic efficiency, and build psychological resilience.We explore how modern comfort may be driving chronic disease, why diversity in exercise and nutrition matters, and how time-restricted eating, phytochemicals, cognitive challenges, and movement work together to activate the body’s innate repair systems.This conversation reframes stress from something to eliminate to something to apply strategically.If you work with patients focused on longevity, metabolic health, or prevention, this episode offers a practical framework rooted in molecular biology.🔗 Dr. Sharon Bergquist, MDhttps://drsharonbergquist.com/https://www.instagram.com/thegoodstressdoctor/?hl=en🔗 Dr. Alex Carrasco, MDhttps://nourishmedicine.comhttps://www.instagram.com/dralexcarrasco✨ Like 👍, subscribe 🔔, and share this episode if you’re ready to take charge of your hormones and feel vibrant again!Follow Us:🐦 X/Twitter: https://x.com/Vibrant_lab📸 Instagram:   / vibrantwellness📘 Facebook:   / vibrantamerica  💼 LinkedIn:   / vibrantwellness  📧 Contact Us: [email protected]:All content from Vibrant Wellness, including but not limited to YouTube videos, is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing, or other professional healthcare services or advice, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.
