How Long Can You Keep Compensating?

How long can our bodies continue to adapt to constant stress and pressure?

We often don’t even realise how much we compensate for in our everyday lives. Our bodies continuously adapt, strive to maintain balance, and work to keep us functioning — until they eventually reach their limits.

But how can we recognise when we are approaching that critical point?

In this lecture, Dr. Attila Jonas explores how the body’s ability to compensate works, which warning signs may indicate increasing physical and mental strain, and why recognising these signals early is so important.

Because we shouldn’t wait until we reach our breaking point to start paying attention to ourselves.
