Modern life puts a huge burden on human health, and this affects almost every single person. It is full of so-called Anthropocene risk factors that are entirely new for our immune system and cause multiple diseases, which can affect individuals for more than 40 years of their lifetime. Sitting time, environmental pollution and even artificial light are risk factors that cause possible disease in all of us. Furthermore, in these times humans are also always doing something; this is something entirely new, causing burnout in probably 40% of the world population by 2040. We can’t continue like this, and that is why you need to become a therapist in Clinical Psychoneuroimmunology. The science, or perhaps even philosophy, which aims not only at the recovery of health but also the increase of stress tolerance by using both existing effective whole-body interventions, as well as developing new ones. Today you cannot treat everyone with biomedical interventions. Humans suffer from maladies caused by toxic emotions, toxic thoughts, sleep disturbances and even unknown dangers. All those factors produce a low-grade inflammation that precedes most, if not all, chronic diseases, including the susceptibility to possibly pandemic viral infections. Low-grade inflammation is treatable, and so are all the diseases as its consequence.

If you are a medical or paramedical practitioner of the 21st century, you need to be ‘integrative’. So don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn clinical psychoneuroimmunology, and become a Clinical Psychoneuroimmunologist.
