Biology of Beating Stress

An enlightening guide to how stress wears us down—and what we can do to protect ourselves.

Stress doesn’t discriminate—it can have a negative impact on us regardless of race, creed, socioeconomic status, or political party. But with a health issue that’s so universal—and a flood of not-always-accurate information about it—how can we separate fact from fiction and get a grip on harmful stress? The Biology of Beating Stress is a powerful book that summarizes major points about stress in a quick and easily digestible way. It explains:
  breathing and relaxation techniqueshow to not just manage stress, but actually use it to your advantagehow understanding epigenetics can give you more control over your healththe amazing benefits of brain wave entrainment for drug-free stress relieffoods that help support the bodyhow consistent cortisol reduction techniques create a clear path to a happier, healthier, more productive, and stress-free life  
From a holistic health practitioner, this guide puts the focus on the connection between our minds and bodies, and reveals the changes that can reduce the impact of stress on both.
