Stress Resilience vs. Stress Management — Why the Difference Matters

Most of us have been taught to “manage” stress — go to yoga, take a deep breath, pour a glass of wine at night. But stress management only helps you cope after the fire has already started. True health begins with stress resilience: your body’s ability to respond to stressors, recover quickly, and return to balance on a cellular level.

In this episode, Dr. Dani Hohl, Doctor of Functional Medicine, breaks down the science behind stress resilience — from cortisol rhythms and vagus nerve regulation to immune function and blood sugar balance. She shares why most people are stuck in sympathetic overdrive, how that damages your health long-term, and what you can do to retrain your nervous system.

You’ll also hear about in-office therapies at Being Hohl — including red light vagus nerve therapy and the vibroacoustic bed — that directly support stress recovery and help your body remember what safety feels like.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • The difference between stress management and stress resilience — and why it matters
  • How stress impacts your hormones, immune system, and metabolism
  • The role of the vagus nerve in regulating your stress response
  • How innovative therapies like red light stimulation and vibroacoustic sound therapy accelerate recovery
