Lara Salyer — Thursday, April 22

My name is Lara Salyer and I'm a physician turned "drug dealer." I'll be your opening keynote speaker on April 22nd as I travel the nation teaching professionals how to access the most powerful drug in the universe, Creativity.  (Creative flow state is the only time our brains have all 5 happy neurochemicals produced: norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, anandamide, and endorphins!).  

Prescribing Creativity will show you how to rekindle your flow state so you can live with more ease and vitality.  I'll be discussing evidence based research in the psychology of burnout, neuroscience, and functional medicine. 

Together we will:
  • Journey through the timeline of burnout
  • Detect whether you are “stressed” or “burned out”
  • Discover how chronic stress and cortisol poisons cells’ biochemistry
  • Recognize the powerful neuroscience behind flow state
  • Learn how to nourish this creative brain activation pattern
  • Apply tips to play with creativity in everyday life

Please connect with me on Linked-In, Instagram, or Facebook as I love sharing useful tips and tricks for everyone to infuse creativity into their medical career.  If you're on a social media holiday, you can sign up for my newsletters on my website.  Finally, nothing brings people together like shared trauma, right?  If you feel like laughing and crying through mine, please read my memoir!

 Looking forward to meeting you!
