What does current scientific evidence show us about the effects of chronic stress and anxiety on our bodies and and on our mental health? And what does the research show about the changes in brain function and cellular function that occur with long-term dedication to mind-body practices? Can we imagine a new model of medicine that combines the best of traditional medical science with mind-body practices? Jane Oh grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as a first generation Korean-American. She has been practicing medicine for over 20 years, but when she began practicing and teaching yoga, her view of healing fundamentally changed. She is currently becoming certified in SMART (Stress Management and Resiliency Training) through the Benson-Henry Mind Body Institute at Harvard Medical School, and she believes that we all have the ability to heal much of our suffering through the power of the mind-body connection. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
