May 14, 2026

 

Or, listen on Spotify.


Your diet, sleep, and exercise won't save you if your nervous system is chronically on fire.
In this episode, Jeff talks with Elisha Goldstein — psychologist and author of Tiny Shifts — about emotional longevity: what it is, why it matters for aging, and how to start building it today.

  • The overlooked link between emotional dysregulation and physical health
  • The "overwhelm loop" and how to interrupt it in real time
  • The Four Rs: a practical recovery framework for everyday stress
  • Why recovery speed matters more than avoiding stress altogether

This episode is for anyone who already knows what they should do — and wants to understand why they can't quite do it yet.
