Finding the Balance with Loni and Christine
Loni and Christine are physician assistants (PA) with backgrounds in Emergency Medicine and Primary Care who currently work as professors in higher education. Loni, seeing the end of the wellness line in the ER, and Christine, trying to prevent it in the office, have joined forces in discussing the topics of disease prevention and what it means to be well. Far beyond the bounds of a medical office, we are passionate about improving health literacy and increasing awareness of the daily changes we can make to maximize the quality of our lives. Finding the balance between the "coulds," "shoulds," and "woulds" of life is a quest worth embarking on. We do not have all the answers, but life is about the journey, and we look forward to sharing ours with you.

Episode 38: More Than Fight or Flight: Understanding Individual Stress Responses
We’ve all heard of fight or flight, but stress responses go far beyond that. Some people shut down, some take charge, and others people-please their way through a crisis. So why do we all react so differently? In this episode, we explore the complex, individualized nature of stress responses. From neurological wiring and past experiences to cultural influences and personality traits, we discuss why making assumptions about how someone should react under stress can be misleading. Whether in healthcare, education, or everyday life, understanding these variations can improve communication, patient care, and even our own resilience. Tune in as we challenge the one-size-fits-all view of stress and offer insights into recognizing and supporting different stress responses—both in ourselves and others.
