Our bodies experience real reactions to stress. Join Dr. Harrison to learn what these reactions are and how you can be more in tune with your body to optimize your health during times of stress.

Dr. Raquel Harrison (MD, FACEP, dipABLM) is dual board certified in emergency medicine and lifestyle medicine.  With over 12 years of experience working in large urban emergency departments, she has been heavily impacted by how often lifestyle choices result in visits to the hospital. Leveraging years working in education as an assistant professor and assistant residency director at Yale School of Medicine, she now directs her passion for teaching towards educating others about lifestyle medicine and its critical role in preventing and reversing diseases that commonly lead to emergency visits and hospitalization.
