The cardiovascular system keeps score — even when the calendar is full.

As a psychiatrist and CEO, I have spent over 25 years watching high performers push through stress as if it were just part of the job. It is not. It is a measurable health risk — and most people do not recognize it until the body forces them to stop.
I wrote about what chronic stress actually does to the body, why high performers are often the last to notice, and how this clinical reality is shaping our work at CuraTrail.
745,000 deaths globally from overwork in a single year. That number should change how we think about productivity.
We need to stop treating recovery as optional and start treating it as a clinical priority. That shift — from reactive medicine to proactive, data-driven stress management — is exactly what we are building toward at CuraTrail. Psychiatrist-led. Grounded in real physiology. Designed for the people who think they are fine.
What is the one thing you have changed — or wish you could change — about how you manage stress and recovery? I would love to hear what is actually working for people.
