Manage episode 363723346 series 2968341
Episode Description:
Stress is a natural part of life, but too much of it can lead to distress and discomfort. In this episode of the Healthy Lifestyle Solutions podcast, we talked with Dr. April Hirschberg, a board-certified psychiatrist and lifestyle medicine expert, about the benefits of mind-body medicine, the importance of stress management and building resilience, and simple ways to improve your overall health. We also discussed the significance of knowledge and information in assisting individuals in overcoming their reluctance to engage in mind-body practices such as meditation and relaxation exercises. In summary, this episode offers a variety of tools and strategies for dealing with and controlling stress.
In this episode, you will learn the following:
- The significance of self-care and developing the self-care component of the three-legged stool that represents modern medicine.
- Misconceptions about stress and resilience are addressed, focusing on the fact that resiliency is the ability to adapt and bounce back, not just the ability to handle stress.
- The advantages of using white noise apps, walking in nature, and guided meditations as methods for relaxation.
- Positive psychology and how it focuses on getting us to use the parts of our brain that help us see the good things in life.
