In a world where over 49% of American adults report significant daily stress, Dr. Gary Sprouse is offering something radical: Finding Your Happy Place and, more importantly, tools to reduce stress.

 

This Sunday SoulDay episode features Dr. Gary Sprouse, a retired physician turned author, speaker, and mindset specialist known as The Less Stress Doc. After four decades of treating thousands of patients, he uncovered a powerful truth:

 

👉 Most human stress isn’t caused by what’s wrong with us — it’s a side effect of what’s right with us - our changing environments.

Our ability to envision the future becomes worry.

Our empathy becomes guilt.

Our memory becomes regret.

Our intelligence becomes overwhelm

 

In this episode, Dr. Sprouse shares how stress nearly consumed his own life, what he calls his “55-gallon drum of stress,” and how retirement actually opened the door to continue his life’s purpose in a new way: helping people break stress loops and return to their “Happy Place.”

 

This conversation is for you if you are…

✔️ Feeling overwhelmed or stretched thin

✔️ Caught in a loop of worry, guilt, or perfectionism

✔️ Wanting more peace, clarity, or emotional balance

✔️ Curious about the science of stress, mindset, and healing

✔️ Ready to move toward your own “Happy Place”
