Mind-Body medicine uses the power of thought and emotion to promote health and healing. More and more evidence shows how our emotional state influences our physical body– endocrine and immune function, susceptibility to infections, the development and progression of coronary artery disease, and many others. Evidence also mounts for the effectiveness of mind body approaches in improving health, including: diabetes, arthritis, migraines, and cancer care. Join us to learn more about how we can benefit from this connection, with surprising results!
