In this episode, Justin shares his insights on why stress is more challenging than ever, the role technology plays in keeping us perpetually "switched on," and why managing hormones—especially cortisol—is crucial for better sleep, improved mood, and healthy aging. Together, Allan and Justin explore practical strategies for breaking out of the technology trap, reclaiming rest, and building lasting wellness through better sleep, exercise, and nutrition.
