    Is Stress Affecting Your Heart? With Dr. Alan Rozanski, MD

    This episode is dedicated to my cousin and fellow physician, Dr. Jason Nunez, who recently passed away one month ago. And to honor his life in the context of April being Stress Awareness Month, , we’re asking a vital question: Is stress quietly harming your heart? Joining me for this important discussion is Dr. Alan Rozanski, MD, a renowned cardiologist and Professor of Medicine whose research established the powerful link between psychological stress and heart disease. In this episode, we explore how chronic stress impacts the body, why your perception of stress matters, and what practical, science-backed tools can help you protect your heart and build true resilience. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or simply want to better understand the toll of unmanaged stress and its effects on the heart—this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. And this episode is not just about the science with practical tips—it’s a collective wake-up call for so many of us living with unchecked chronic stress. I hope this one inspires you to start taking good care of yourself, because your heart depends on it.

  5. Understand & Heal from Modern Trauma with Dr. Christine Gibson, MD

    Understand & Heal from Modern Trauma with Dr. Christine Gibson, MD

    For this episode, my guest Dr. Christine Gibson, MD, CCFP is a family doctor and trauma therapist in equity-denied communities, author of The Modern Trauma Toolkit, and goes by “tiktoktraumadoc" on TikTok.  In our talk, we explore modern trauma and how to recognize, process and potentially heal from it.  Trauma is more pervasive in society than we realize, and our healers—including doctors and therapists—often lack the adequate tools and time to address these deep-seated issues. This is a topic many of us doctors weren’t taught much about in medical school and patients often struggle to articulate their feelings surrounding it. And whether we are doctors or patients, we struggle because of this collective gap in proper knowledge around trauma. Fortunately, Dr. Gibson offers valuable insights to help fill in the gap. We define modern trauma and why it has become so problematic, how we can heal and move forward from trauma, the difference between resilience and post-traumatic growth, and so much more.  While we still have a long way to go in understand trauma, healing is possible for anyone willing to seek it.  I hope that our discussion helps you to better understand modern trauma and to more effectively heal from your own trauma wounds.
