Author: McClellan, Stephanie & Hamilton, Beth

Widely sought-after women's healthcare specialists, Drs. McClellan and Hamilton give a clear picture of what stress is doing to every cell in women's bodies and how it disrupts the intricate balance of the body's systems, leading to disease and illness, including heart disease, cancer, eating and metabolic disorders, gynecological problems, chronic pain, decreased libido, depression, and anxiety. Filled with instructive case histories from their clinical experience, So Stressed reveals the doctors' empathy, their ability to explain medical information simply, and their commitment to individually tailored treatment, allowing women to make informed decisions. They identify three basic stress profiles and provide a practical program for each type that addresses the effects of stress and restores health."Bridging the gap between the lab bench and the bedside, between cutting edge research and practical application, and between an impersonal healthcare system and real solutions for real patients, Drs. McClellan and Hamilton's program for living well with the inevitable stress of modern life will become a classic in women's health and popular medicine.
