High performance doesn’t disappear overnight — it becomes biologically expensive. In this episode, Dr. Eldred Taylor explores why resilience fades, why standard labs often miss the problem, and how adaptability determines longevity. Drawing from clinical physiology and lived experience, he reframes burnout as recovery debt and explains how stress, cortisol, and recovery shape performance over a lifetime. This is a systems-level conversation about adaptation, not motivation.
