StressWinner founder Dr. David Rainham has been a Family
Physician for over 30 years. Early in his career he noted that stress,
anxiety and depression were a major component of about 80% of
doctor visits. The majority of his patients with unpleasant and
sometimes frightening symptoms had no specific physical disease
but were suffering from anxiety and tension resulting from a wide
variety of stresses. It also became clear that stress interferes with
healthy habits, playing a major role in every illness from heart
disease to diabetes, as well as destroying lasting happiness.
He began by simply teaching relaxation techniques, then developed
a simple model of stress that makes it easy to remember and
practice the many other strategies people can use to take control of
their reactions to life’s problems.
Dr. Rainham created StressWinner to make widely available a
variety of simple and practical resources on stress and resilience
for both the public and professionals. There is a comprehensive
array of print, audio and video tools, as well as training programs.
The materials are used by individuals and corporations across the
country and internationally.
Dr. Rainham is a regular speaker on the topic of stress and
resilience He has appeared in magazines, radio and TV, and for five
years wrote a weekly newspaper column on stress.
Dr. Rainham is a 1968 graduate of the Welsh National School of
Medicine in the U.K.. In addition to his General Medical Practice, he
was an Associate Professor in the Department of Family Practice of
University of Western Ontario for 23 years, and is a Fellow of The
American Institute of Stress.
