The Department of Health (DOH) encourages Filipinos to manage stress and avoid illness as studies show that 63 percent of respondents were more anxious or stressed last year despite the pandemic winding down.
Studies also find Filipino workers as the most stressed in Southeast Asia, experiencing higher levels of worry, sadness and anger.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), stress causes or exacerbates mental health conditions like depression, which in turn is a leading cause of disability in the world.
Filipinos stress levels continue to go up due to stressors such as worsening traffic, workplace burnout, financial instability, world crises and many others. Stress is a primary health concern and the need to manage it has become a top priority.
Healthy Options, the pioneer of the healthy living movement in the country, is bringing the answers on how to manage stress with visionary stress management expert Dr. Donielle Wilson.
Wilson is coming to Manila and Cebu to talk about her bestselling book, “Master Your Stress. Reset Your Health.”
At this year’s exclusive Healthy Options Talks, Dr. Doni will share her landmark Stress Recovery Protocol, a program specifically designed to calm anxiety, boost energy and beat burnout.
She will share her expertise that through the science of epigenetics – the connectedness of cortisol, adrenaline, and neurotransmitters – individuals can balance these through her C.A.R.E. program: Clean eating, Adequate sleep, Recovery and Exercise and manage stress.
Dr. Doni will also share the five stress archetypes and how her program can be customized to each one, ultimately helping us overcome exhaustion and fatigue, clear up brain fog, improve memory, and prevent insomnia.
“It’s not about being ‘stress-free’—that it’s impossible. It’s about learning to give yourself and your body what it needs in order to be healthy in spite of the stress. Master it by understanding how it affects you uniquely and then giving your body what it needs to recover successfully,” she said.
Dr. Doni’s approach also aims to optimize body weight; recover from anxiety and depression; and relieve headaches, chronic pain, and digestive issues. More benefits include increasing energy and immunity.
The exclusive event will be held on Oct. 25 at Edsa Shangri-La Hotel, Manila and on Oct. 27 at Radisson Blu Hotel, Cebu.
The Healthy Options Talks is a series of health and wellness events which brings industry leaders and distinguished experts from around the world to Filipinos, aiming to inspire and empower each one of us to live our fullest and healthiest lives.
