Shownotes

In this episode of the AT Last Podcast, we welcome Dr. Stuart Shanker, internationally recognized researcher, author, and founder of the MEHRIT Centre. Dr. Shanker is best known for his groundbreaking work on self-regulation, a framework that helps individuals and communities better understand stress, behavior, and resilience.

The conversation dives into how self-regulation connects to equity in education, healthcare, and sports medicine. Dr. Shanker explains how chronic stress disproportionately affects underserved communities and why shifting from blame to understanding is key to creating systemic change. His insights show how leaders, educators, and healthcare providers can create environments that empower—not punish—those facing the greatest barriers.

This is a powerful dialogue that challenges us to see equity not only as a policy issue, but as a daily practice of empathy, awareness, and support.
