Ever heard the phrase, "Perception is Reality"? Your mind does the perceiving, and therefore can create your stressful reality. It's true, some situations are stressful. However, many are not, but we create them to be. And, many are stressful for longer than they need to be. If your health is suffering because of additional stress that starts in the mind, how do we begin to shift that for lasting change and improved health?
Danger of Chronic Stress
When we perceive stress we release stress hormones. We're made to tolerate this occasionally, but not chronically. Too much stress over a long time wears down the immune system and provides a ripe environment for health challenges: digestion problems, irregular menstruation, PCOS, anxiety, mental fog, and autoimmunity, just to name a few. But the real-life, practical tools to actually do this seem elusive.
The Common Roadblocks to Changing
You're used to relying on your doctor to interpret your test results. After all, he or she has years of education! The truth is, you can not only understand your blood tests, but have a really good grasp on many tests in just a matter of hours - regardless of your educational background. The Internet is changing the face of health care, whether we like it or not. This course provides a good foundation and can help keep you grounded when copious amounts of research and countless patient connections are just a few key strokes away.
What You Have To Gain
When you are on the front lines of your own health, you can see trends that your doctor might never pick up - iron problems, low Vitamin D, pre-diabetes, insulin resistance, and thyroid problems, just to name a few. Learn what many functional medicine experts deem as "optimal" values and where you sit in relation to them - and be confident in your ability to monitor your values. Health care is changing and now more than ever you need to take responsibility for your health. This course will help you start to do just that.
