Palmer frames this not as a call to slow down, but as a performance and resilience argument: fix the engine, and the same circumstances stop feeling overwhelming. Jay Shetty adds his own experience of consciously deciding to 'uplevel' his health rather than reduce his workload, and finding his capacity dramatically expanded as a result.
