Live Virtual Training via Zoom
Jerrod Brown, PhD presents a live virtual professional training program on Chronic Low-Grade Inflammation: Implications for Mood, Behavior, Cognition, and Physical Health.
Designed specifically for professionals navigating the realms of integrated behavioral health, "Chronic Low-Grade Inflammation: Implications for Mood, Behavior, Cognition, and Physical Health" offers an overview of the intricate mechanisms behind inflammation, a biological response that shields the body against infections, toxins, and injuries. While this process is crucial for our survival, persistent low-grade inflammation can become detrimental over time. Indeed, chronic inflammation is implicated in a myriad of adverse health outcomes, such as obesity, accelerated aging, the emergence of a plethora of diseases, and even psychological distress.
A primary focus of this course is the role of chronic inflammation in mood, behavior, cognition, and physical health. It offers an in-depth look at the interplay between stress and our bodies, illuminating the effects on our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Furthermore, it provides valuable insights into toxic stress exposure, trauma, and Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis dysfunction, critical factors in understanding chronic inflammation. Empirically based research findings will be highlighted throughout this training.
Relevant topics covered will include:
- The impacts of stress on the body
- Sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems
- Toxic stress exposure
- Trauma
- HPA axis dysfunction
- Stress management
