How the Body Responds to Stress (Minneapolis, Minnesota)

The inside of a seashell swirls soothingly.

Integrative Medicine Lecture Series

This is one of nine lectures by Gary Carlson, MD, a physician on staff at the Penny George Institute for Health and Healing. Each offering in this series is a self-contained lecture, followed by a brief question and answer period. You can attend any one or combination of lectures; however, the classes will build on each other and reinforce key concepts. Other lectures in the series include:

October 15—A Holistic Approach to Individual Health
October 22—Food as Medicine I
October 29—Food as Medicine II
November 5—Food as Medicine III
November 12—Detoxification
December 3—Psychoneuroimmunology
December 10—Exercise as Medicine
December 17—Vitamins and Supplements

All classes meet Thursdays, 4:45 to 5:45 p.m. Medical professionals may earn 1 continuing education credit per lecture. The cost is $15 each. Register for all nine and receive a 10 percent discount.

Take a look at the body's flight, fight or freeze response and how it contributes to both acute and chronic disease. The relaxation response will then be taught to help counteract the negative effects of stress.

Dr. Carlson is board certified in holistic medicine and family medicine. He also is board eligible in medical acupuncture.
