Stress Management with Jim Poole

Stress Management with Jim Poole

What is stress? Stress is the body’s response to any demand. It may be caused by both good and bad experiences. During times of stress, the body releases hormones that prepare us to either “fight” or “flee”. This is known as the fight-or-flight response. While the immediate reaction to stress may be beneficial, prolonged or chronic stress can have serious effects on our physical and mental health. Today, we’re chatting with Jim Poole, a well-known figure in the field of stress management. It’s wonderful to be able to meet two prominent figures in the field of stress management, and our host Barry Shore is a world class figure in this field. We’re discussing a topic that is so critical to our health and wellbeing, and it’s great to be able to have this conversation. I hope this podcast will be of benefit to you, and please share it with your friends if you think they would find it helpful.
