Managing Chronic Stress in Patient Care with Dr. Susan Blum

Let’s face it, folks – we are all grappling with various levels of
stress right now. As if chronic stress wasn’t already a top
contributor to general health ailments and chronic disease, now add
stress from social isolation, the pandemic, and political strife to
the list. That’s why we are so grateful to welcome Dr. Susan Blum
MD to New Frontiers. Dr. Blum has worked in preventative medicine
as a chronic disease specialist for nearly two decades and is the
founder and director of Blum Center for Health. Her focus is on
supporting patients in their recovery from autoimmune and
immune-related conditions, and now educates and coaches patients
through mind-body medicine tools and behavior modification to
rebalance their autonomic nervous system and downregulate the
stress response. Together, we talk about her personal journey
dealing with stress, how she approaches the topic with each
patient, and why this is one of the most important considerations
for your clinical practice as we navigate the current and
post-pandemic era. Let us know what you think!
