In this episode, Yvonne sits down with Dr. Jonathan Fisher cardiologist and author of Just One Heart join Yvonne. They discuss how emotions affect the heart. Jonathan shares the latest research which demonstrates that intense emotions can physically change the shape of the heart and lead to heart attack like symptoms.

They also discuss the importance of developing and maintaining empathy and connection to others. Johnathan explains that the heart has 4 dimensions – the emotional, physical, social, and spiritual hearts. All 4 play an important role in keeping your heart healthy.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The heart is not just about the physical systems like blood flow, stress and other emotions also impacts how it works.
• Research shows that intense emotions can produce the symptoms of a heart attack. It is called Takotsubo cardiomyopathy or broken heart syndrome.
• Fortunately, just as stress and loss can break our hearts, positive emotions can help our hearts to function better. Jonathan explains how to tap into this.
• The fast pace we live at is leading us to lose our connection with others, which is bad for our physical health.
• Covid can impact the nervous system which plays a role in how the heart functions. The loss and emotional stress people felt are also still impacting some people´s heart health.
• When you remember something bad that happened it reactivates the physical sensations associated with that pain.
• Life is short. You can be healthy one day and seriously ill the next. That is why you should do what gives you purpose and meaning.
• When you manifest or visualise, you are training the neural pathways that affect the way our bodies move and function. It is good for our health.

BEST MOMENTS

‘At least 60% of what I see as a heart doctor relates to either unaddressed or poorly addressed underlying stress because of what is going on in the world. ´

‘We have to learn to listen to our bodies, to sit quietly and tune in.’

‘It is wise to recognise that and to limit the intake into our nervous system of this information.’
