68. Jen Batchelor: The Real Reason You're Burned Out (And It's Not Your Job)

Most people are treating stress with the wrong tools, and it's silently sabotaging their longevity.

In this episode of Extend, I sit down with Jen Batchelor, Ayurvedic health optimizer and co-founder of Kin Euphorics, to talk about what your nervous system actually needs to feel calm, connected, and well. We dive into what adaptogens are really doing in your body, why saffron might be one of the most powerful neuroprotective tools available, and how homeostasis—not hustle—is the key to better energy and long-term health.

We also explore the hidden costs of loneliness, the biology behind joy, and why redefining pleasure might be the most underrated health hack of all.

Jen Batchelor is the co-founder of Kin Euphorics, a non-alcoholic beverage company blending adaptogens, nootropics, and ritual to support mood, connection, and recovery
