By reversing the detrimental cellular signals of stress and promoting beneficial molecular signals, mind-body practices can help to rewire our brains and bodies to thrive. This is important, because most <a href=\"https:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/cognitive-effects-of-stress-and-naturopathic-doctors-coping-with-stress-and-mental-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">physical and emotional issues are<\/a> linked to or perpetuated by stress.<\/p>\n<p>This makes practicing IM and mind-body medicine to make us healthier and optimize our wellness outcomes a scientific, serious matter.

I also give some tips on how to make relaxation and IM more of a ritual in your life so you can benefit your DNA. Specifically, I discuss:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>How the connections between laughter, genetics, and mood can impact your heart health.<\/li>\n<li>Why taking time to refresh and rejuvenate should be a priority in your day.<\/li>\n<li>Tips for making relaxation a daily habit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>By disengaging from the chaotic world and taking time to reconnect with yourself using mind-body applications, laughter, and relaxation, you can alleviate the negative emotional and physical impacts of stress and promote mind-body flourishing.<\/p>\n<p>This is why<a href=\"https:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/the-epigenetics-of-mind-body-medicine-laughter-relaxation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> taking time to find joy in life and nurturing yourself<\/a> with silence and calm should be as much a priority and part of your wellness program as exercise and diet.<\/p>\n<p>Do you agree?<\/p>\n<p>Now, when we find ourselves struggling, we have several natural

She has mentored with holistic practices throughout New York, Vermont, and Connecticut. In addition to her Naturopathic and Functional Medical training, Dr. LoBisco has extensive training in a variety of healing modalities, including therapeutic essential oils, nutraceuticals, herbs, whole food supplements, nutritional medicine, and mind-body therapies. She is a graduate of the accredited, four year post-graduate program in Naturopathic Medicine at the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut. This program includes clinical rotations and a demanding scientific curriculum in integrating conventional and natural medicine. Dr. LoBisco holds her license from the state of Vermont. Dr. LoBisco has completed her postdoctoral training as a certified functional medicine practitioner. She is also certified in Applied Kinesiology and holds a BA in psychology from SUNY Geneseo.
