You can build your resilience muscle in a few key ways, says our guest Dr. Greg Hammer, a retired professor at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Hammer gave a lecture recently at Harvard University on personal resilience and mental health. He outlines what personal resilience is and how we can practice it so we don’t suffer from the impact of chronic stress that over time can lead to things like cardiovascular disease, depression, obesity and fatigue. He walks us through a formula he created called GAIN, which will give us the tools we need to bounce back from life’s difficulties.

Dr. Christiane Northrup, visionary pioneer in women’s health, a board-certified OB/GYN, and author of several New York Times bestselling books, joins us to talk about her book Dodging Energy Vampires. She says, “Those who have trouble receiving attract those who have trouble giving.” Dr. Northrup explains, “The lack of self-worth and need to be accepted and loved that many of us have makes us a perfect target for energy vampires.” These are folks who literally drain the energy right out of us, which can make us sick. She says, “We don’t even know that we’re dealing with one of these masters of darkness until we become physically ill, lose our friends, our jobs, our incomes, our fertile years and eventually even our self-esteem and dignity.” Dr. Northrup tells us how to identify energy vampires and how to get ourselves out of a relationship with one. She also is giving a free gift to listeners of The Wisdom Coalition podcast!!
