Dr Mary Wingo Ph.D is the world’s number one human stress expert. Her genius is in taking a subject that is complex and frequently expressed in scientific language and breaking it down into plain English for “Joe Average”.

The real Big Bang Theory. What subject can you bring together a biologist, physicist, geneticist, and biotechnologist and hear completely separate theories. Human Stress. Brexit and Black Lives Matter are symptoms of the emotional toll on individuals who feel they have little control in the world in general. Not just the man in the street, but political and social leaders. Living in a state of constant stress has become the norm in the western world, but we are paying a high price for it. Personal well-being is suffering and despite social media there are people who have never been so lonely. Could we be heading for a humanitarian crisis not just an economic one?

Dr Wingo believes this is all preventable. She also reveals the number one stressor for humans by far and why it is the core of our problems in modernised society.
