Train your brain to respond differently to stress.
Resistance training for stressed and
anxious nervous systems.
A different guided training
every day. Just press play.
No scrolling through endless content, no searching, no decision fatigue. Each day you open Rezist you'll find a different training session preloaded for you.
You open the app—press play—follow along—and repeat daily. That's it.
In just weeks your brain changes—begins to respond differently. Stressful situations now feel manageable, your reactions to them more controlled.
Stress & anxiety aren't the problem.
It's how your brain reacts to them.
Most stress management apps attempt to calm you when you’re already upset, but that doesn't solve the problem. The real issue is how intensely your brain reacts to stress & how long it takes to settle down. You experience this every time stress hits. Events outside your control often create oversized responses. Eventually you calm down—but it takes much too long.
The good news is your brain's reaction to stress is not fixed. Your stress response can be retrained.
A program to upgrade
your nervous system.
Rezist isn’t a collection of classes and content to choose from. It's a system—a program you follow that retrains your brain to respond differently to stress and anxiety.
With daily repetition your body settles faster, your mind stays more controlled, and your reactions to triggers change. Stress and anxiety just don't hit as hard or last as long. And this isn’t temporary relief. It’s a new and different brain response.
How Rezist sessions train
your stress response.
You start by following the app’s training videos, settling the body with gentle guided movements. Then you listen to voice instructions guiding you through concentration exercises and focused breathing—training the brain to stay relaxed and controlled under pressure. Over time, this new response becomes automatic—you stay calmer, more in control, and recover more quickly when stress does hit.
What changes when you train
your stress response.
You don’t just feel better while using Rezist. You start responding differently in real situations:
-
You don’t get triggered as easily;
-
You recover faster when you do;
-
You feel more in control in stressful moments;
-
Your baseline stress level begins to drop.
This isn’t about managing your stress or anxiety in the moment. It’s about changing how your brain responds so that stress doesn’t affect you the same way.
An "almost analog" solution
for a world of digital stress.
We considered posting our MindShield® protocols on YouTube or other social media feeds, but their algorithms hijack the same pathways that modern stress and anxiety overload. So we built Rezist, an intentionally easy-to-use mobile app: you open it, follow along with the video, then close it. There's no scrolling, no notifications, no analytics—just 20 minutes and you're off your phone.
Real and lasting relief for
stressed & anxious people.
Rezist stress response training is performed daily for about 20 minutes. Each time you open the app a new session is queued up to follow—just press play. In a 12-week study Rezist users saw an average 50% reduction in stress levels as measured by PSS scores (see study details).
"This app is amazing! Just a few weeks and my anxiety level has dropped to almost nothing!"
"I can't believe that by following along with a daily video I have so completely changed the way my body reacts to stress! I'm a new person!"
"I love doing my Rezist activities before breakfast. I feel energized and stress-free. And when I do encounter stressor triggers my body now reacts so differently!"
"The method is so simple, easy, and effective! I wish everyone would subscribe to Rezist."
"My PSS dropped to less than half of where I started in just
one month! It's unbelievable!"
"I love being part of this project! I've changed my relationship with anxiety, and my feedback helps advance the work of the Rezist project team!"
It's about stress & anxiety,
not revenue and profit.
Rezist was built by a science-based team dedicated to reducing chronic stress & anxiety. Subscribers are part of our project team, providing feedback used for the ongoing development of Rezist and its trainings. The subscription is $4.99/month, $39.99 annually, with a cancel any time refund policy and guaranteed results.
And if the subscription is out of your budget get hold of us—we'll find a way to get you on the project team.
Built for people who don't
have time to manage stress.
Rezist is for by busy people who don’t have time for meditation sessions or yoga classes—who've tried all those mindfulness apps that didn't make a difference in their stress & anxiety levels. They use Rezist daily, for about 20 minutes, to retrain their stress circuits—to build a nervous system that responds in a different way to the stress and anxiety of 21st century life.
The research behind Rezist:
neuroplasticity & stress resistance.
Rezist is built on a foundation of published scientific research on the nervous system & neuroplastic change. The papers below are examples of these studies (full list available via the button below) that focus on neural movement, meditation, and other active relaxation practices that can change—physically alter—the brain's prefrontal cortex and amygdala to be less reactive to the triggers of stress and anxiety. Rezist combines those insights into a simple 2-phase routine called MindShield that builds stress resistance to real-world daily life.
