STRESS?...... Relax.
We didn’t invent the practice of medicine…. we’re just changing the way it’s provided.

cause and prevention of disease.” ~Thomas Edison

Why Bother with The Touchy Feely Stuff?
• Lower blood pressure• Decrease palpitations• Ease up the reflux• Quiet the gut• Clear the skin• Sooth the sleep• Spruce up the sex
• Calm the “monkey mind”
Review:
Is it worth it to invest time and money into lowering stress?
• The study of social aggression in baboons• Lower strata males had higher stress and….• HBP, brain stress hormone level, high heart rate, poor reproductive
• Later TB wiped out the aggressive males • The resulting troop lived longer with multiple heiarchies and important
duties within each heiarchy• Less aggressive male combat, less “dumping” on a female, more
grooming, no intimidation of younger, no biting of mother• Low agression, high social affiliation, less disease in new troop
• Scientist Robert Sopolsky
What does stress do?
• Telomeres shorten with age normally• Stress speeds up shortening Biologist Elizabeth Blackburn• For every year of care for a chronically ill child ….add on 6 years of aging to the mom• Compassion and caring may add to increasing
telomerase and healing (at the DNA level) Psychologist Elissa Epel, PhD UCLA
Love your genes!!
• JAMA. 2010 Jan 20;303(3):250-7. Association of marine omega-3 fatty acid levels with telomeric aging in patients with coronary heart disease.

Bottom line- It’s Worth it
• Ancient philosophy says you can’t control stress.
• Modern wisdom says you can control reaction to it.
If Dr Oz thinks they are good…..………….maybe we should listen.
