Your heart can show signs of distress without a single symptom, and sometimes, the trigger isn’t physical at all.
Dr. Alan Rozanski, a pioneer in nuclear cardiology and now a thought leader in integrative care, joins Dr. Regina Druz to explore how emotional and behavioral patterns can directly influence heart health and vitality. He shares the turning point that led him from high-tech imaging to psychosomatic medicine: watching a patient’s heart function visibly deteriorate, not during exercise, but while talking about stress.
That moment launched decades of research into how chronic stress, depression, and social isolation affect physical health, and why mindset matters just as much as metrics. Dr. Rozanski also introduces his six domains of optimal health: physical health, mental vitality, emotional mastery, social connectivity, stress management, and purposeful living. He explains how even the smallest shifts in any one of them can reignite energy and drive meaningful improvement across the board.
From gratitude to optimism to redefining what it means to feel truly well, Dr. Druz and Dr. Rozanski’s conversation challenges the traditional boundaries of cardiology and invites a more connected, human approach to heart health.
