This episode is full of impactful wisdom and delightful insights into how powerful the heart really is. Rollin McCraty, Ph.D. is Director of Research of the HeartMath Research Center, and joins us to share his psycho-physiology research in heart coherence. 

If you're tuning in order after listening to Jodi Cohen's and Caitlin Thompson's episodes, you'll find this discussion absolutely fascinating. Dr. McCraty reveals the effects of emotions on heart–brain interactions and on autonomic, cardiovascular, hormonal, and immune system functions. You'll walk away with a lot of information, and want to expand further on the topic.
