Stress and Inflammation: A Silent Epidemic

Larry Davis, doctor of chiropractic, has teamed up with Dr. Lenae White, board-certified addictionologist, to reveal the deep connection between stress, inflammation, and disease in Stress and Inflammation: A Silent Epidemic.

Their clear explanation of stress responses and the inflammation process provides an understanding of why achieving optimal health for modern Americans remains challenging. Focusing on stress responses, hormones, the digestive tract and digestion, and the detrimental effects of stress on the body's processes, Davis and White have identified how we can stop the silent epidemic that belies many disease processes. Stress and Inflammation: A Silent Epidemic identifies the types of foods, vitamins, and minerals lacking in the average American diet and explains that there is not a one-size-fits all diet for every physical makeup. Authors Davis and White provide a counter to these deficiencies in a customizable lifestyle program and process that includes meditation, sleep, exercise, proper diet and nutrition, and behavioral suggestions for optimal wellness.

Dr. Lenae White, MD, was born in Houston, Texas, but spent much of her childhood overseas. Receiving her undergraduate degree from Texas A & M in chemistry, Lenae then went on to medical school, and studied psychiatry and internal medicine at the Mayo Clinic. Later, she was invited to University of Pennsylvania to complete a four-year fellowship in Addiction Psychiatry. Throughout her career, Lenae has always had an interest in promoting healing, health, and overall well-being. Recognizing that life creates numerous stressors, she promotes the value of stress reduction through massage therapy, fitness, diet, and good mental and emotional self-care. With a passion for helping patients transform and embrace long-lasting behavioral and lifestyle changes to minimize their risks and optimize their overall health, Lenae partnered with Dr. Davis to start a wellness company and to write this book, believing that information is power. Dr. White splits her time between Texas and Wyoming and enjoys horseback riding and time with her family and two horses.
