  • Stress for Growth with Dr. Sharon Bergquist - Episode 2624
    Mar 28 2025
    Episode 2624: Vinnie Tortorich speaks to Dr. Sharon Bergquist about resilience, our culture clashing with biology, using stress for growth, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/03/stress-for-growth-dr-sharon-bergquist-episode-2624 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin ClubPure Coffee ClubNSNG® FoodsVILLA CAPPELLIEAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Culture Clashing with Biology Dr. Sharon Bergquist is an internal medicine physician ( you can find her online at https://drsharonbergquist.com/) and has a new book you can purchase through Vinnie's Book Club: The Stress Paradox book https://amzn.to/4hMi9wc(2:15) It’s necessary to challenge yourself for physical strength and resilience.Our current lifestyle has weakened over several generations. (7:00)Today’s lifestyle has phased out needs and behaviors that years ago were relied upon for strength and resiliency. (9:00)This has contributed to poor health and decreased longevity. Our bodies are supposed to be interconnected with nature and the environment (15:00). Vinnie gives an example of a recent climb he did where another climber was missing out on the beauty of the surroundings. The Industrial Revolution started much of the culture change. (23:00) Many inventions have helped improve life; however, many have changed how we challenge ourselves.Reintroducing some of the challenges can help us to achieve better health, both mentally and physically. (26:00) Dr. Sharon explains hormesis, which is a form of adaptation. (30:00)The leading cause of disability in this country is disuse. (37:50)There is a more recent specialty in medicine called “exercise oncology.” It has been shown that exercise can improve cancer outcomes. (38:00) Stress For Growth There are various types of stress; however, too much and too inadequate amounts of stress can both be harmful. (46:00)The goal is to find the optimal or “Goldilocks level” of stress.A mild or moderate amount should work. There’s no real need to go to extremes to make a difference.Vinnie mentions his desire to get back to a “fitness middle class.” (51:00)“Stress inoculation” is an idea (not an actual vaccine and not childhood adversity) that exposes kids to small amounts of stress to help childhood development. (55:15)Giving kids the tools and the skills to find their way is a good start.
