Praise for When Crisis Strikes
"Chronic stress ranks amongst the most serious threats to human
health and longevity. And surprisingly, its pivotal role as it
relates to degrading our most coveted health assets is generally
under recognized. But whether brought on by sexual abuse, dealing
with an alcoholic parent, having a child with special needs or by
the seemingly ever present threat of serious viral illness, chronic
stress can be recognized, contextualized and ultimately
ameliorated. And this is the mission of When Crisis Strikes.
Drs.Love and Hovik eloquently lay bare how chronic stress
insinuates itself into every aspect of our lives and provide the
tools to relinquish ourselves from its influence. Especially now,
this book is essential."
—David Perlmutter, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author
of Grain Brain and Brain Wash
“When Crisis Strikes is an indispensable book that will guide you
through the inevitable crises we will each face in life. While
the circumstances of your brain in crisis will be unique to
you and your situation, Drs. Love and Hovik will show you the
science of your stress response, the impact on your mind and body,
and practical steps to feel better and come through it
stronger."
—Mark Hyman, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"Artfully weaving the biology and psychology of human crisis (aka
stress), Drs. Love and Hovik educate us about what is happening in
our mind and body and empower us to master it. We all
have faced some alarming crisis or another--it is part of
life. How we identify it, command it and recover from it is
critical to our mental and physical health. This book offers
invaluable guidance. Really, any book that teaches us to give
our crisis the finger is worth a read."
—Reuben Sutter, MD, Founder and Medical Director, Sage
Neuroscience Center

crises.”
