Publisher's Summary

Cutting-edge research on the brain's interaction with the body shows that health is directly impacted by our social environments, socioeconomic status, culture, behaviors, relationships, psychological states, and habits of mind, among many factors.

Mind-body medicine - working in partnership with traditional medical practice - uses a large range of psychological, physical, and behavioral treatments in a model of health care that aims to treat the whole human being. It provides highly effective resources for prevention and treatment of a wide spectrum of medical conditions-and for fostering the ultimate goals of health care: truly optimal and lasting physical health, as well as emotional and psychological well-being.

In these 36 revealing lectures, Professor Satterfield offers you a comprehensive overview of the field. You'll look in depth at the anatomical and biological systems through which what is "outside" in the environment gets "inside" to affect our minds and bodies. You'll also examine recent research on subjects ranging from the impact our emotions and psychology have on health to the crucial roles that social, cultural, and behavioral factors play. And you'll learn about effective mind-body treatments for many common medical conditions and diseases. Finally, you'll finish the course with a tool box of ideas and interventions for your personal wellness goals, empowering you to partner more effectively with your medical providers and maximize your own health.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

There are better books out there that do not peddle religion

There are better books out there on health that don't peddle religion. Should we selfishly pick up religion to "stay healthy" despite the fact that they repress women and non-binary people and are used to keep the poor and ignorant people suppressed? Consider the horrors in Afghanistan and the harm of Scientology and people who pray instead of taking COVID-19 vaccine. When others are pushing mindfulness and social network and meditation, it is selfish and irresponsible to promote religion. Narrow minded privileged academic who only see white-washed images. If you want to stay healthy, reduce toxins that go into our environment that affect our biology and thoughts. Strangely, the more religious people vote with the racist and sexist right-wing party against environmental laws.
