  EP 220: Stress, Recovery & the Nervous System: How to Regulate Stress, Build Resilience & Perform Better

  Sep 14, 202638 min

  In this episode, Esty Zilberman & Mourad Bahrouch explore the science of stress, recovery, the nervous system, neuroscience, and human performance with Esty, founder of Build It Real. We discuss how the brain interprets reality, why stress itself isn’t inherently good or bad, and how homeostasis helps explain the body’s drive toward balance and safety. We also dive into WHOOP, wearable data, HRV, sleep, recovery, and self-awareness—and why you shouldn’t let a recovery score dictate how you feel. Instead, learn how to use data as information while staying connected to your own body. The conversation also explores how these principles apply to training, exercise, leadership, management, and the workplace. From gradually increasing physical or mental challenges to understanding an employee’s individual stress threshold, we discuss how leaders can create environments where people are challenged without becoming overwhelmed. Topics covered: Stress and nervous system regulation Homeostasis and the brain’s response to stress WHOOP, HRV, recovery and wearable technology Sleep, exercise and physical resilience How to build tolerance to stress gradually Finding exercise you actually enjoy Neuroscience and self-awareness Stress management in the workplace Leadership, employees and psychological safety How managers can recognize when people are under- or over-challenged If you’re interested in neuroscience, stress management, nervous system regulation, recovery, fitness, leadership, workplace performance, or understanding yourself better, this episode is for you. __ https://www.builditreal.ai/
