Description
Feeling stressed? We all face stressful situations throughout our lives, ranging from minor annoyances like traffic jams, or politics in the news, to more serious concerns, such as a loved one’s declining health. No matter what the cause, stress floods your body with hormones. Your heart pounds, breathing speeds up, and muscles tense. This is our bodies instinctual “fight or flight” response—a primitive reaction to threatening situations. While we cannot avoid life’s stress triggers, we can learn techniques to cope using our body and mind. Clinical pharmacist Kim Hoff guides you evidence-based practices to eliminate the harmful effects of stress.
