Maintaining good health involves balancing our nervous system between the “fight or flight" and "rest and digest" centers. Imbalances in these systems can result in inflammation ultimately leading to chronic illness. Learn how stress can be one of the large culprits in causing the imbalance.
Join Dr. Jyothi Rao, MD, FAARFM for a discussion about the differences between good stress vs bad stress, its impact on the body and the role cortisol and the adrenal glands play in our normal response to stress. Dr. Rao will discuss tools to help attenuate this response and keep your body in balance.
Cost: $5. Per Person. MUST REGISTER IN ADVANCE ON EVENTBRITE.
