About this listen

  • The quality of your closest relationships influences heart health as strongly as conventional risk factors by shaping daily stress levels, recovery capacity, and long-term resilience
  • Couples who approach heart health together exercise more consistently, reduce smoking more effectively, and follow treatment plans better than people working alone
  • Chronic relationship conflict and emotional disconnection keep stress hormones elevated, quietly straining blood vessels, heart rhythm, and metabolism over time
  • Supportive connection lowers stress signaling, stabilizes heart rhythm, improves sleep quality, and reinforces healthier daily habits that protect your heart
  • Addressing relationship strain alongside key lifestyle factors like daily walking, adequate carbohydrates, and eliminating vegetable oils removes a constant biological load from your heart and makes healthy behaviors sustainable
