25. The Mental Health and Immune System Connection
Show Notes

We often take good health for granted until we are forced to pay attention due to illness, disease, or injury. In this episode of Therapeutic Perspective Podcast, Shonda talks with Dr. Marie Cross of Penn State University, whose work focuses on psychoneuroimmunology (the connection between the immune system and mental health for those of us not up on our Latin). 
Dr. Cross shares how we can encourage our clients (and ourselves) to live a more well-rounded, healthy lifestyle, as well as some practical, evidence-based tips to lower our stress and inflammatory response and boost our overall well-being.
