In med school, I took an elective called "Stress", foolishly thinking I was going to learn about meditation and yoga. Instead the professor spent 6 weeks proving that being poor or a minority literally destroys your health on a molecular level, and I think about that every day.

Stress, Immune Function, and Health: The Connection https://amazon.com/dp/0471241814/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_dIiUEbR44Q36X. This is the book he wrote, I have no gain in the promotion of it. It was just an amazing class!

For those asking: I found 8 of his easy-to understand lectures on the effect of stress on your health (and tips for how to cope with it) organized online for free! https://alephne.org/templates/articlecco_cdo/aid/4713968/jewish/Stress-Management-Video-Presentation.htm

And another book for everyone (again, I have no connection to this!) but think these are some tools we have right now to help buffer what is wild systematic inequality. Be well all.

I’ll add another update on our call Dr. Rabin said that medical school deans have been calling him asking for his curriculum. Never underestimate the power of social media to create change. It’s so apparent this topic NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT to future healthcare providers! Thank you.

When I say molecular level, this is what I mean. Powerful.
