The adrenal glands are designed to keep basal rates of corticosteroids, mineralocorticoids and sex hormones and to robustly secrete stress hormones for resilient protection during a stressful moment. However, stress can overwhelm these glands leading to various stages of the adrenal response. In this webinar, Dr. Peter Bongiorno explains how most cases of stress and anxiety are a normal reaction to what we put our bodies and minds through. He will cover the workings of the HPA axis and reveal the true relevance of early, mid and late adrenal response. By learning from his 21 years of clinical experience managing these various stages, you can gain strategies for bringing your patients back to resilience.
Learning Objectives:
Recognize the impact of stress on adrenal function
Understand the workings of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis
Identify the stages of adrenal response: early, mid and late, how they occur and the methods to test for them
Acquire practical strategies and clinical insights from Dr. Bongiorno to address various stages of adrenal response and enhance patient resilience

Community & Connections: The Importance of Interpersonal Relationships in Achieving Optimal Health
Presented by: Mark Hyman, M.D. Monday, June 4, 2018
Health and healing happen best in a community, where there are mutual support and reinforcement of health-promoting behaviors. Strong social connections thereby predict better outcomes in common conditions requiring behavioral and lifestyle modifications, such as weight management and cardiometabolic health. In this webinar, Dr. Mark Hyman will offer a view of community as medicine, and how a community-based solution can yield results that neither health care nor health care reform has yet been able to achieve.
