295: How Jeff Krasno Reclaimed His Energy, Lost 60 Pounds, and Transformed His Health Using Good Stress
Jeff Krasno, co-founder of Commune and Wanderlust, returns for his third appearance on the show with one of his most personal and transformative stories yet.
Despite leading two of the most influential wellness platforms in the world, Jeff found himself battling brain fog, chronic fatigue, weight gain, and even pre-diabetes. He had access to the best health experts and cutting-edge protocols—but like so many of us, he had normalized what he now calls a “patently abnormal” way of living.
That all changed when he strapped on a continuous glucose monitor and saw the numbers for himself.
In this episode, Jeff shares how he used what he calls “Good Stress”—simple, intentional challenges like cold exposure, time-restricted eating, walking, and resistance training—to lose 60 pounds, sleep better, regain his focus, and feel more alive than he had in years.
This isn’t a conversation about biohacking or quick fixes. It’s about realignment—learning how to live in harmony with how the human body was actually designed to function.
Listeners will come away with practical tools they can implement immediately, along with a new understanding of why modern comfort is quietly making us sick—and how to reverse that trend with small, consistent shifts.
Whether you're feeling stuck, tired, or out of sync with your health, this episode offers a refreshing and actionable perspective on what it really means to feel well.
