But did you know that these small hassles – often caused by stress – can trigger big problems in the future? “Stress can change how our bodies function and cause underlying health problems that we don’t notice right away,” says Dr. Jon Herbert, a licensed chiropractor educated in Applied Kinesiology, Digestive Health, and Human Physiology. In his eye-opening talk, Dr. Herbert shows how to make a lifestyle U-turn now and steer clear of trouble down the road. “Stress can lead to a number of health problems later in life, from short-term memory loss to thyroid disorders,” says Herbert, “but by making a few simple changes today, you can reduce stress on your body and support healthy aging and improved health tomorrow.”

Dr. Herbert specializes in natural care for muscle pain, joint pain, digestion, hormone, thyroid, nutrition and sleep problems, and he’s trained in clinical nutrition, neurology and laboratory science.

His talk reveals how the body is affected by common chemical and nutritional stressors and gives you tools to deal with emotional stress.
