Guest: Dr. Mimi Guarneri

We’re revisiting one of our most impactful episodes with Dr. Mimi Guarneri—an integrative cardiologist whose message continues to resonate deeply. As conversations around stress, nervous system health, and emotional well-being become even more urgent, her insights feel especially relevant.

This episode struck a powerful chord when it first aired, and we’re bringing it back because its message is something we believe more people need to hear, now more than ever.

Imagine a world where your doctor doesn’t just hear your heartbeat but empowers you to hear your own heart’s wisdom to improve your health. Our guest, Dr. Mimi Guarneri, president of the Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine, is a world-renowned cardiologist and leader in integrative medicine.

In her book, The Heart Speaks, she talks about how the heart is a complex organ, possessing intelligence, memory, and decision-making abilities independent from the mind—and that healing the heart can have more to do with healing the mind and soul than we ever knew. In this podcast, she talks about why the world needs a revolution of love.

As a cardiologist, she explains how the toxic toll of stress is closing our hearts and silently eroding lifespans, yet traditional medicine often overlooks an important factor: our overwhelmed nervous systems that burden us with accumulated stress. Dr. Guarneri reveals how activating heart coherence can rebalance and stabilize the nervous system, leading to better health outcomes.

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Guarneri exposes stress’s subtle yet detrimental impacts and how the heart’s natural healing potential can rewrite our well-being story.

Join Dr. Guarneri and host Deborah Rozman as they explore innovative approaches to “hacking” and regulating your nervous system to help you reverse the downward spiral of stress. Hear what these experts recommend and why they agree that it’s your heart that holds the key to a healthier, balanced life.

This is a wake-up call episode for anyone who wants to take control of their health and live a life free from the grip of stress. Dr. Guarneri says this isn’t just about health; it’s about revolutionizing how we love, think, and care for ourselves—and each other.

An episode bonus! Enjoy a guided heart meditation to co-create a reservoir of healing and compassionate heart energy for ourselves and others.
