The Heart Beat Podcast

Cardiometabolic syndrome significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, heart attack, and other chronic conditions like diabetes, cancer, and sleep apnea. 

In this episode of The Heart Beat, Maya Pomroy sits down with  THI President and CEO, Dr. Joseph G. Rogers, and Thrive Global's founder, Arianna Huffington, to explore how behavior modification and technology, like AI, can transform health outcomes. The trio explores micro steps for change and the importance of addressing health inequities to promote a healthier future for everyone.

Learn how small changes in daily habits—sleep, nutrition, movement, stress management, and connection—can revolutionize well-being and productivity, and discover how the Thrive Global approach is working to make these changes accessible to all.
