Join Barb for an in-depth review of the acute and chronic  "stress response" and its consequences for health and happiness. Barb will not only discuss the implications of acute stress on immediate situations, but she will also focus on chronic stress and its ramifications for numerous physical and psychological clinical conditions. The role of inflammation plays an integral part in the chronic stress response and Barb will provide numerous ways to reduced stress, inflammation and burnout.  Barb proves the cliché “Laughter is the Best Medicine” when dealing with certain stressful situations, but she will also provide other evidence-based methods of stress reduction.

 

Barb will answer the following questions and many more in this fun, entertaining and educational seminar on stress: Does stress move FAT to your belly? Is it possible for stress to deplete the brain of the 'happiness'  and ‘energy’ neurotransmitters—serotonin and norepinephrine?  Does high cortisol predispose to osteopenia and osteoporosis?  Does stress REALLY cause ulcers? Can stress can 'kill' neurons and lead to memory loss? If I reduce stress can I lower my blood pressure? Can stress cause acute coronary syndrome? And just what is Tokutsubo's cardiomyopathy?
