The science of rest and why it's a revolution
Mar 04, 2025
Rest isn’t a luxury—it’s a biological necessity.
In Episode 4 of Master Stress with Dr. S, we shift our focus from stress to the relaxation response—the body’s natural antidote to stress. Understanding how to actively engage this response can transform your health, performance, and overall well-being.
In this episode, we explore:
✔️ The neuroscience of relaxation—and why it’s just as important as productivity
✔️ How the parasympathetic nervous system drives recovery and repair
✔️ The biggest myths about rest that are keeping you stuck in stress
✔️ Simple, science-backed techniques like breathwork and vagus nerve activation to shift into relaxation mode
Rest isn’t about doing nothing—it’s about doing the right things to reset your nervous system.
I also invite you to reflect: What are your beliefs about rest? Could prioritising it be the missing piece in your well-being?
