Psychoneuroimmunology reveals that chronic stress weakens immunity and contributes to a wide range of physical and emotional illnesses. By understanding how moral injury, trauma, and persistent stress affect the brain, nervous system, and body, we can develop the awareness and skills needed to build resilience and protect our health.

This workshop explores the dynamic interplay between the sympathetic ("fight-or-flight") and parasympathetic ("rest-and-digest") nervous systems, and how their downstream effects influence inflammation, mood, cognition, and overall well-being.

Modern life exposes us to a constant stream of environmental stressors, from endocrine-disrupting chemicals in our homes and food supply to the chronic noise that keeps our nervous systems in a state of low-grade alarm. These hidden influences can contribute to hormonal imbalance, impaired fertility, disrupted sleep, chronic inflammation, and diminished well-being.

This workshop explores practical, evidence-based strategies for reducing toxic exposures and creating environments that support healing rather than undermine it.

Toxic Exposures: Identify and reduce common sources of endocrine-disrupting chemicals and hidden toxins that contribute to hormonal imbalance, impaired fertility, and chronic inflammation.

Auditory & Sensory Relief: Minimize the effects of noise pollution and sensory overload that keep the nervous system in a state of low-grade alarm and disrupts sleep.
