## Resource

In this masterfully eye-opening episode, Stephanie and Dina pick the brilliant mind of CARES Foundation's Medical Director, and Professor & Pediatric Endocrinologist at the NY Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center, Dr Karen Su. Dr. Su helps to clear up the confusion over "stress dosing" an adult or a child living with CAH. Of great importance to Stephanie & Dina has been to address the idea that a stress dose needs to be administered when someone is predicted to have emotional stress. Their goal has been to highlight exactly when to administer added hydrocortisone (as well as how much!), and Dr Su is just the person to set the record straight. Do you typically stress dose before taking an exam? Before an important speech or running a marathon? Dr. Su shares her many words of wisdom by answering hypotheticals, solving scenarios and revealing the health concerns behind too much cortisol and the long term effects of Dexamethasone. Bring your notebook and take full advantage of all of the insightful and thought-provoking free professional insight from one of the top CAH endocrinologists in the country.
