Are you ready to put yourself first for all the right reasons? Today, I'm joined by cardiologist Dr. Columbus Batiste to share that true self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential.

In his new book, Selfish: A Cardiologist's Guide to Healing a Broken Heart, Dr. Batiste shares seven key pillars of heart health—spirituality, exercise, love, food, intimacy, sleep, and humor—showing how each one plays a vital role in your well-being.

This conversation isn’t just about avoiding disease—it’s about thriving, showing up for yourself and your loved ones, and reclaiming control over your health.

And what better time than Heart Health Month to start?
