Buffers and Magnifiers: Attitudes and Events Trigger Health Vulnerabiltity

Financial stress, caregiving, job woes. These life obstacles are unavoidable, but how we cope with and address them, and who we have available to help, can make a monumental difference in our outlook and health. On this show we're joined by Alexandra Drane, founder and chief visionary officer and chair of the board at the Eliza Corporation. Eliza Corporation's new tool The Vulnerability Index™ measures both the magnitudes of an individual’s or population’s life obstacles, as well as the balance of magnifiers and buffers which influence one’s ability to cope with life obstacles. We'll discuss the evidence they gathered that shows how this tool is a useful predictor of health and productivity.
