You're listening to Life Kit from NPR.
Hey everybody, it's Marielle.
We all get stressed, right?
And one thing I've learned through our reporting at Life Kit is that while it's really important
to ground yourself in these moments, that's not where the work ends.
Because if you're constantly having these days where your fight or flight response is triggered,
there's probably a reason, some underlying cause of your stress.
It could be your health or the health of someone you love.
It could be a relationship that's falling apart or the fact that you can't pay rent or fear for your safety.
These are things that never quite go away.
So that fight or flight response is always on at a slow hum in the background.
That's Dr. Aditi Nerurkar.
She's an internal medicine physician at Harvard.
And she wrote a book called The Five Resets.
The Five Resets has been laid out to be a roadmap.
A roadmap to recovering from chronic stress.
