What doesn't kill you
makes you stronger

In this episode of the Superhuman Blueprint podcast, host Drew Griesel discusses the biological concepts of hormesis and autophagy, and their roles in the body's response to stress. These mechanisms can lead to increased strength and resilience by eliminating damaged cells, improving immune function, and reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Drew explores various triggers for these processes, like lifting weights, intermittent fasting, and exposure to extreme temperatures, as well as phytonutrients found in food. By endorsing the idea that discomfort and stress can lead to physical improvement, he advocates for a proactive approach to health and wellness and challenges listeners to embrace uncomfortable situations as a path to long-term health.
