About this Guide
Doing it for yourself
We know there is value in doing things for other people, especially since we have experienced the sacrifices of health care professionals and other individuals providing essential services during the pandemic. While doing anything, even if it is for others, there can always be a component of doing it for yourself. Is it the best work you can do? Something you are proud of? Something that demonstrates who you are and what you are capable of? Now is the time to re-write the narrative: anything you do can be for you too.

Recommended Books

There are so many endocrine organs and hormones, it can be easiest to start with a pocket guide overview to have the illustrations and terms to develop a basic understanding.
There is a growing body of research on stress management and potentially reducing disease risk.
