Stress isn't all in our heads. It's also in our biochemistry, our neurons, our cells. It contributes to 80% of all doctor visits and chronic illnesses. Modern life creates unprecedented stressors from man-made pollutants, medicines, and electromagnetic fields to psycho-social disruptions and isolation. Our bodies were not designed to detox this onslaught of toxins and our psyches weren't designed to deal with such social uncertainty. And they directly impact each other: physical toxins unbalance our mind and psychological stresses unbalance the body.

In 1996, I almost died from multiple chemical sensitivities and food allergies. From my years of research (reading, seminars, conferences, personal experience, and client feedback), I developed a model that covers what is common to most illness, even though the way illness is played out in each of us is unique. No single therapy or supplement will solve the problem. After all, at minimum we must have air, water, food, shelter, sunlight, and relationships of various kinds to even survive: we need more than these to thrive. Additionally, all of those essential elements must be healthy. If they are toxic, they don't nourish us, and therefore, we can't be healthy. Yet inescapably we live in stressful environments. So, what can we do?

Since everything we do impacts our health for good or ill, the "Life as Medicine" workshop series synthesizes information common to healing models both ancient and modern to identify those aspects of living having the greatest impact on health. Our model of health and illness is designed to simplify the bewildering array of information and to empower each person to become their own primary health care provider in order to survive and thrive in this toxic world.

In these workshops we provide:

• Knowledge and information about how your body-mind works and how to be well
• References to books, web sites, practitioners and key products
• Practice in using simple and effective tools to take charge of your own health

Workshops can be arranged as a single weekend (6 hours each day), three ½ days, or 2-hour sessions weekly for 6 weeks.
