7:00 – 8:00pm | $10Ori Hofmekler discusses the science of stress and how to put hormesis into powerful practice. Hofmeklers latest book, The 7 Principles of Stress: Extend Life, Stay Fit, and Ward Off Fat is a call to action–a manifesto of living life to its utmost evolutionary potential, under stress, as nature intended.
Supported by cutting-edge research, Hofmekler redefines the term “nutrition” as it reveals the stress-mimicking nutrients that yield the same benefits of fasting and exercising. At the books core is the biology of stress and the way it affects all key aspects of life from feeding and sexual behavior to mental and physical performance.
Ori Hofmekler is the author of The Warrior Diet and the first to introduce the concept of intermittent fasting in practice. Hofmekler presents his approach in workshops targeting groups from special agents, air marshals, and SWAT to university professors, students, and fitness advocates.
