                        Dr. Robert Sopolsky
Stress/Relaxation
                =
    Sympathetic/Parasympathetic

• Epinephrine, adrenaline, cortisol increased in
  stressful, dangerous environment

• Prolactin, oxytocin, NPY increased in
  relaxed, protected environments.
Old concepts
• Break down of the physiologic response:

• Stress Response-         “fight or flight”
    Hans Selye 1975


• Relaxation Response-     “eat or reproduce”
    Herb Benson, MD 1975
Godzilla   vs   Ghandi?
Know Your Enemy Sun Tzu
• To keep the herd alive;
                    “Stressful events” = Stress response
                    “Monkey Mind” = Stress response cycling


           Or not
           Or not
                                       Stress event
Why can’t we just co-exist?




Athletes.
In a state of relaxation response but …
can turn on an abnormally high stress response

• Old-school: traits & character controlled by genes
• New-school: environment controls genetic
  activity and even the rewriting of genetic code
Provide a healthy environment* for
your genes!!

                Biologist Elizabeth Blackburn

  and healing (at the DNA level)

Notas do Editor

  1. Based on a survey of our patients, we found a consistent theme of what frustrates them about conventional medicine practices and why they felt First Health was different. Since identifying these 4 key areas, we have made a consistent effort to offer our absolute best to:Listen attentively to Patients concernsMake the patient the driving force as the center of careMinimize wait timesExplain all the options for treatment, and give the patient choices (medications, alternative medicine, nutritional medicine/supplementation, psychological medicine)
  2. Design notes: list of providersWe want this to look much more inviting—these chairs are way too cold.Had thoughts about putting the actual providers in the chairs. Could be an actual live picture with a sample patient in the red chair or could be a group of providers sitting around the table.
