Lecture: “Why do we only ever fall ill once the stress is over?”
Marco Schmitz, doctor specialising in integrative medicine
EVENT OVERVIEW

The week was running at full speed—and just when you finally have a chance to slow down, it hits you. Fever. Exhaustion. Body aches.

A coincidence? An infection?

Why is it that people often stay healthy during periods of intense pressure, yet become ill as soon as they finally let go?

Our bodies regulate temperature, hormones, and immune responses in real time—without us even thinking about it. It is a system that leaves very little to chance.

So why would illness suddenly be an accident?

This lecture explores the answers through the lens of Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI). Once you understand this pattern, you’ll never see your body as the enemy again—but as an intelligent system that functions with purpose.
