RELEASES
in our brains and our bodies when we become stressed, with personal
accounts and patient cases, Dr Chatterjee provides easy-to-implement

From identifying our ‘Micro Stress Doses’, those individual portions of stress
we encounter moment to moment, and our ‘Macro Stress Doses’, those
big adverse life events that can have long-lasting impact; Dr Chatterjee
will take you on a journey to regain control over your stress, rather than it

The Stress Solution will help you to live a happier, more fulfilling and
