Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast. I just read this crazy statistic. It kind of blew my mind, but at the same time, it made a ton of sense. And I think it's going to make a lot of sense to you too. And it's this. Based on research, 70% of us right now are living our lives in a state of chronic stress. And this isn't just a feeling. What you're going to learn today is that this is actually a medical condition. It's a physiological state when you feel chronically stressed out. And so I want you to hear something. If you're feeling like you're constantly tired, if you woke up today and you're like, why can't I just like get back into the groove? What is going on? I want to tell you something. This isn't your fault.
This is what the majority of people are feeling. If you're feeling this, I know I'm feeling this, you're not doing anything wrong. See, what you're gonna learn today, because I'm like, oh, whoa, if 70% of us are dealing with this, I'm tracking down the world's leading expert on stress. She is here. Her name is Dr. Aditi Nur.

This is why you're so tired.
This is why you're chronically feeling exhausted. And today we're gonna do something really cool because today Dr. Aditi is going to unpack her research and she's going to teach you that there are three things that are happening in the world around you that are largely out of your control. that are creating this condition of stress in you. But then she's going to give you the good news. The good news is you have power because your power is in how you respond to these things. And you're going to learn three things to do today that will help you lower the stress. It will help you reset your nervous system. This is all coming from Dr. Aditi. You're going to love this. So you are in the exact place at the exact time where you need to be.

And a couple weeks ago, I had the extraordinary honor of sitting down with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 's son and his daughter-in-law. They have a brand new podcast called My Legacy. It was an extraordinary experience. And during that wide-ranging conversation, which I can't wait for you to listen to, we covered so many topics. We, of course, talked about the Let Them Theory and
