How do YOU manage stress?

-





We all experience stress in our daily lives that diminishes happiness. But how we cope with stress and how stress affects our mental and physical health differs from one individual to the next. The biological response to stress differs in men and women and there are gender differences in effective methods of coping with stress.  

The Howell Foundation's Intentional Happiness Series will be holding its first educational series presentation "An Integrative Approach to Stress Management: Reducing Stress and Increasing Happiness".  Learn how the concept of “relational wellness” influences stress management and how “Western” and “complimentary” medicine can be integrated to reduce stress for men and women. Applying simple, “hands-on” stress management techniques to incorporate into your daily life can be the start to successfully manage your stress.  

Board Member, Vice-Chair of the Howell Foundation and Associate Project Scientist a the Department of Medicine at USCD School of Medicine, Carole Banka Ph.D.  will present her research on gender differences and Stress.   Tahir Bhatti, M.D., Integrative Psychiatrist and Wellness Physician at the UCSD Executive Health & Wellness and Concierge Medicine programs will be talking about the relationship between mechanistic and relational wellness, and will lead the way into practical stress management techniques.

 Join us for this thought provoking, UNIQUE program that addresses the latest research on the sources of stress and dealing successfully with stress in your life with practical information you can use any time, anywhere!   Great speakers and lots of discussion encourage you to ask the questions that matter to you.

The Howell Foundation will be kicking off the year with a presentation on tattoos… not the kind that stay with you for life, but the one that can definitely help in saving your life. What was once thought to be science fiction is becoming a reality, thanks to the research of Dr. Todd Coleman at UCSD.  His research is making strides in marrying computer sciences with biology and neurology through the elaboration of a flexible, portable “tattoo” that picks up electric signals in the body and transmits them wirelessly to any medical electrical device through applied mathematics. This “tattoo” seems to have all the components of your cell phone:  a wireless antenna that allows gathered information to be transmitted, the ability to wirelessly transfer power onto the device, Light Emitting Devices (LED) and light sensing devices to pick up information on the body’s blood oxygenation, temperature, your body’s mechanical strains and a variety of electrical signals on t...
