The Healing Brain II
A Continuing Education Symposium
Sponsored by
THE HEALING BRAIN II: STAYING HEALTHY Medicine and medical care have understandably focused on those who become ill. Certain environmental, behavioral, and biological factors have been shown to increase the risk of disease-and yet the majority of people exposed to such factors remain healthy. While some people may be protected by good genetic backgrounds, most protection is conferred by our own behavior, including what we eat, how much exercise we get, how we manage stress, and how we take care of ourselves. A new view of human health and disease is emerging-one which acknowledges the remarkable resiliency of the human organism and the critical role we can play in promoting optimal health. This continuing education symposium is designed to present the practical applications of current knowledge in nutrition, exercise, stress management, and medical self-care. The program will include lectures, demonstrations, panel discussions, questions and answers as well as the opportunity to form smaller interest groups. FACULTY William L. Haskell, Ph.D., is Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine, School of Medicine, Stanford University and a senior staff member of the Stanford Heart Disease Prevention Pro-gram.
