Self-Help
Being "so stressed" has to be the most common description
for a woman today -- no matter your age or marital status,
whether you have a career or work inside the home. Stress is
the gift of modern life that keeps on giving, because, even
after you've gotten through a stressful day or week, the
effects on your body and mind linger, whether you're aware
of them or not. And they can build up and make you sick --
unless you do something to stop them. That's where So
Stressed, a landmark new guide to women's health, can
help. The realization that stress was the most common
cause of all the different symptoms and ailments that their
patients were coming to them for was a eureka moment for
internationally renowned OB-GYN physicians Stephanie
McClellan and Beth Hamilton. To find out how stress could be
the root cause of diseases as disparate as chronic pain,
gynecological disorders and depression,asthma and metabolic
disorders, Drs. McClellan and Hamilton embarked on a unique
medical quest -- they wanted to find the latest discoveries
emerging around the world in the science of stress and put
them all together in treatments to help their patients now.
Their urgent mission took them to the leading researchers at
the best medical centers around the world, where they
learned the exciting findings that they reveal in this
fascinating new approach to women's health, So
Stressed. With information from the medical and
psychological sciences of stress that no other practicing
physician or clinician has implemented, So Stressed
shows you what stress is doing to every cell in your body,
how it disrupts the intricate balance of your body's
systems, and most important what you can do, starting today,
to restore your body's health and prevent yourself from
getting sick. Drs. McClellan and Hamilton -- who are widely
sought after for their compassionate manner and educational
approach to their patients -- have treated more than 16,000
women in their shared three decades of medical practice.
Through their timely research and unique, integrative
approach to patient care, they have developed four
groundbreaking stress types, each with unique patterns for
potential illness and disease -- presented here for the
first time -- that you can use to identify the ways that
stress is affecting your body and mind. Once you know your
unique stress profile, the doctors help you learn new ways
to see and respond to stress, reduce it and its effects on
your body, and even prevent the life-threatening illnesses
it causes. You'll find the right program -- specifically
designed for the way you fit into your stress type -- with
prescriptive advice for the best mental relaxation
techniques, nutrition, exercise, and restoration practices
for you. Filled with instructive and inspiring case stories
from their patients' and their own life experience, Drs.
McClellan and Hamilton bridge the gap between the lab bench
and the bedside in this comprehensive program for total health.
