Stress Management Strategist, Carol J. Scott, MD, Featured in Oprah Winfrey’s “O” Magazine
Carol J. Scott, MD, The Stress Relief Coach, is featured in the current August 2010 issue Oprah’s “O” Magazine discussing the benefits of stress.
Orlando, Fla. – July 23, 2010 – Carol J. Scott, MD, a stress management strategist known as The Stress Relief Coach, was recently interviewed for “O” Magazine in an article titled, “Find Your Best Stress Zone.” The article, written by Melinda Wenner Moyer, explores how small amounts of stress can actually be healthy.
Moyer writes, “There are three things we’re guaranteed in life, says The StressRelief Coach and developer of the Best Stress Zone concept, Carol J. Scott, MD: ‘Death, taxes, and stress.’ And that can be a good thing—the stress part, that is. Because while chronic stress—the kind that never seems to let up—can set off dangerous inflammation in the body, increasing your risk for heart disease, obesity, and breast cancer, it turns out that in small doses, stress is actually healthy.
When discussing ways to reduce stress that has crossed over from “good” stress to “bad,” Dr. Scott remarked, “When you’re slammed with something really stressful—a huge work deadline, an unexpected visit from the in-laws—don’t panic. Instead, pretend you’ve been asked to advise a friend or family member in need, and think through the problem systematically.”
“When women distance themselves slightly from stressors, they make excellent problem solvers, in part because of their unique mixture of creative, intuitive, and analytical thinking skills,” continued Dr. Scott.
