Listen to the full episode by supporting us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/yogatherapyhourOn today's podcast, Amy talks with Stephanie Sohl, Ph.D. Stephanie is a health psychologist and an Assistant Professor at the Wake Forest School of Medicine. Her research focuses on the mind-body relationship and cancer survivorship. Specifically, she aims to strengthen the evidence base for scalable mind-body approaches such as yoga and integrative health coaching that aims to empower patients with strategies for achieving optimal health. Her work is innovative because she adapts mind-body approaches that may be efficacious so they can be integrated into and enhance conventional care. For example, her current Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01) supports an investigation of a brief yoga intervention targeted to reduce fatigue that's taught in a clinical setting during chemotherapy for colorectal cancer.
