MENGENAI EPISOD INI
Dr. Stephen Sideroff opens with a provocation: we are all designed to fail at managing stress. From there, the UCLA professor, clinical psychologist, and author of The 9 Pillars of Resilience walks Brad through why our hunter-gatherer nervous system keeps misfiring in a world that never signals we're safe, and what to do about it.
The conversation covers real ground. The "Four Horsemen of Stress" that pull us out of balance. Why our biggest successes get wired to stress, so we keep seeking it out. The human performance curve, and how building resilience pushes that curve outward so you can handle more pressure before health or performance drops off. Dr. Sideroff also explains autonomic dysregulation syndrome, which he links to 70 to 80 percent of the symptoms that show up in a doctor's office, and his research naming chronic stress as a master hallmark of aging.
You'll also get the practical core: the difference between a critical inner voice and a healthy "internal parent," why relaxation is a skill that takes practice, how co-regulation and genuine connection replenish us, and his idea of "the path" as an antidote to overwhelm. He closes with four first steps anyone can take today.
A grounded, generous conversation about staying balanced, performing at your best, and aging well.
