“Stress causes almost every condition out there. And if we can just take some of that emotional pressure off their system, at least the chemistry of that emotion, their body has a better chance to heal,” explains Christine Cohn, D.C., one of the experts interviewed in the film.

We are thrilled to announce that Drs. Howard and Christine Cohn were recently featured on Dr. Mercola’s website in connection with the eye-opening documentary “Stressed.” This feature highlights their expertise and contributions to the growing understanding of stress and its profound effects on our health.

The documentary “Stressed” delves into the evolution of our comprehension of stress, tracing its roots from ancient times to modern scientific breakthroughs. It underscores the importance of recognizing stress as a multi-faceted phenomenon that encompasses physical, biochemical, and mental/emotional aspects. This holistic perspective is crucial in understanding how stress affects every part of our lives and overall health.

One of the key highlights of the documentary is the introduction to Neuro Emotional Technique (NET), a therapeutic approach that Drs. Howard and Christine Cohn are deeply involved in. NET combines elements from cognitive behavioral psychology, traditional Chinese medicine, and muscle testing to identify and release stored emotional stress. This method has shown promising results in helping individuals manage the emotional distress associated with various conditions, including cancer survivorship and chronic pain.

The feature on Dr. Mercola’s website also discusses the historical development of our understanding of stress. It traces the concept of stress back to the survival instincts of our hunter-gatherer ancestors and follows its evolution through key scientific discoveries, such as Hans Selye’s General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) and Dr. Candace Pert’s discovery of neuropeptides, which solidified the link between the mind and body.

Dr. Christine Cohn, in the documentary, emphasizes how stress can manifest in various physical symptoms, from neck and back problems to stomach issues and anxiety. She highlights the critical role that emotional stress plays in these conditions and the potential of NET to alleviate this burden, giving the body a better chance to heal.

Moreover, the documentary explores the concept of repressed stress and its potential to manifest as disease. Dr. Howard Cohn points out that unresolved emotional issues can lead to physical illnesses if not properly addressed, a sentiment echoed by other experts featured in the film.

This feature on Dr. Mercola’s website is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the profound impacts of stress and the innovative approaches being developed to manage it. We encourage everyone to watch the documentary “Stressed” to gain a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of mind and body and the critical role of techniques like NET in promoting health and well-being.
