On episode 717 of the 40+ Fitness podcast, Coach Allan and Justin Hai co-founder and CEO of Rebalance Health and author of the book, Stress Nation: Escape the Technology Trap, Eliminate Stress and Reclaim Rest, dive into one of the most pressing challenges we face today—managing stress in our technology-driven world.

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.
