Managing Daily Stress – Our culture rewards a fast paced life. Learning to elicit the relaxation response by spending just a few moments each day quieting the mind can improve your physical and emotional well-being.

What You Eat Matters – The demanding schedule of the busy professional may not include foods that support optimal health. You will learn the perils of fast food and more importantly, the benefits of eating well. Robin will disclose her tricks-of-the-trade that will give you the information you need to eat healthful foods.

Know Your Risk Factors – Learn about the risk factors that lead to coronary disease and diabetes: LDL cholesterol, post meal glucose and C-reactive protein levels, blood pressure, BMI, fitness, stress, and personal satisfaction, to name a few.

Behavior Change – Willpower alone does not lead to healthy behaviors! Understanding the fascinating science of mind-body medicine leads to behavior change that will support optimal health.

What Workshop Participants Are Saying:

• “I wanted to let you know the class you gave on Stress Management was the BEST I have ever attended.  Over the years, I have been to five or six “Stress Management” classes and some were literally a waste of my time and company money.  Thank you for thinking outside-the-box on this subject.  Taking care of our heart, giving ourselves permission to relax once in awhile (via a 90 second power quieting!), mindful thinking and overall harmony – Now that makes sense!  Thank you for giving us this gift of learning a new technique to manage our stress!!”. –Department Manager, Eskaton, Carmichael, CA
