Drawing on his experience from a 30-year integrative medical practice, Dr. Moss offers a synthesis of the wisdom of Taoist Chinese Medicine and current mind-body research. He presents five Adaptation Types, based on the Chinese five phases, that can help both patient and practitioner understand stress reactions and identify behavioral changes, exercises, and meditations that will improve individual adaptive capacities, reduce stress, and enhance healthy aging. He also emphasizes the importance of lowering abnormal levels of cortisol, the main stress hormone associated with heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
