What if the goal isn’t a stress-free life—but becoming better equipped to handle it?

In this episode of From The Source with Dr. Gary, we explore what it means to be “Built to Adapt.” Discover the difference between stress that challenges you to grow and stress that leaves you depleted, how your nervous system responds to life’s demands, and why recovery matters as much as effort.

From physical challenges to everyday emotional pressures, learn practical ways to support resilience and approach aging with greater strength and adaptability.

You can’t eliminate every stressor. But you can build your capacity to respond. Listen in and discover where to begin.
