This month's presentation topic is:
The Stressed-Out Life: Understanding and Adapting to the Pressures We Carry

Presenter: Gretchen Peterson Dunlap, Director of Community Outreach & Education, Peterson Chiropracti

Join us for an engaging wellness-focused SIG presentation led by Gretchen Peterson Dunlap, Marketing Director and Community Outreach & Education Director at Peterson Chiropractic. In today’s fast-paced business world, stress touches every part of our lives—physically, chemically, and emotionally. Gretchen will break down where stress comes from, how it impacts our bodies, and what we can do to adapt more effectively.

This session will explore:

  • The sources of stress and how they manifest

  • The role of nutrition, hydration, and movement

  • Practical tools for supporting the body’s natural ability to adapt

  • The benefits of chiropractic care in managing long-term stress

Gretchen will also share real-life insights, including the story of a longtime patient who has spent years traveling for work and relies on chiropractic care to stay mobile, focused, and thriving.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or simply interested in improving your overall well-being, this session will leave you with helpful perspectives and actionable steps for navigating stress more effectively.

About the Speaker:

Gretchen has been part of Peterson Chiropractic since 2003. After briefly stepping away to build her own business, she returned in 2024—driven by her passion for helping people transform their health through chiropractic care. She currently serves as the Director of Community Outreach and Education and is the president of her Hill Country BNI chapter, an international networking organization. When she’s not serving patients or educating the community, Gretchen enjoys spending time at her ranch with her husband, Mitch, and their goats, chickens, and dogs.
