Ep168-Adrenaline Nation with Author Peter McCarthy

Bestselling author, marketing consultant and social reformer Lynn Serafinn hosts naturopath, author, TV executive and political activist Peter McCarthy.

Our western society may be the most technologically advanced on the planet, but few would argue that we are paying the price for this success with unprecedented levels of chronic stress. Few people have more first-hand knowledge about the impact stress can have on the human organism than Peter McCarthy, who spent 36 years as a commercial airline and B-52 bomber pilot.

These days, Peter is on a national crusade to get our modern world unwired and decompressed. He has done extensive training in the areas of stress management, computerized bioenergetics, functional endocrinology for naturopathic doctors, and functional blood chemistry analysis. He's also an expert in the mind-body-spirit connection, and is a Reiki Practitioner and Energy Healer.

Drawing upon his vast experience, Peter has written a landmark book that chronicles the cost of stress on our entire society and what we can do about it. Adrenaline Nation: Chronic Stress Is Ruining Our Health And Bankrupting Our Economy. Discover What You Can Do About It – NOW!

On today's show, Peter will help you gain a broader appreciation of the true nature of stress, and what we all can do to alleviate that stress in our personal lives.

As usual, at the end of the show, Peter and Lynn will play the '7 Graces Lightning Round' when, in less than 3 minutes, our guests are challenged to show how each of the 7 Graces relates to everything they discussed over the past hour.
