How does stress contribute to illnesses like heart disease and diabetes? What can we do to protect ourselves and heal from toxic stress? Explore the fascinating mysteries of our hidden stress response system and learn how to prevent stress from turning into illness.
Our stress response system is magnificent - it operates beneath our awareness, like an orchestra of organs playing a hidden symphony. When we are healthy, the orchestra plays effortlessly, but what happens when our bodies face chronic stress, and the music slips out of tune? The alarming rise of stress-related conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and depression, show the price we're paying for our high-pressure living, while global warming, pandemics and technology have brought new kinds of stress into all our lives. But what can we do about it? Explore the fascinating mysteries of our hidden stress response system with Dr. Wulsin, who uses his decades of experience to show how toxic stress impacts our bodies; he gives us the expert advice and tools needed to prevent toxic stress from taking over. Chapter by chapter, learn to help your body and mind recover from toxic stress.

Dr. Lawson R. Wulsin is a Professor of Psychiatry and Family Medicine at the University of Cincinnati, specializing in the care and study of the mind and body (psychosomatic medicine). He provides psychiatric care in medical and psychiatric settings, training physicians to combine family medicine and psychiatry. His passion is translating the science of stress into terms that help people to understand and treat their stress-related conditions.
