The Science of Stress, Anger & Connection—How to Heal the Family System with Dr. Taz Bhatia: Episode 420


Listen Later

Have you ever thought about how your own stress affects your kids — or how your parents' stress might still be affecting you? In this powerful conversation with Dr. Taz Bhatia, integrative medicine physician, author, and founder of Hol+, we explore how the health of the parents — especially the mother — sets the tone for the entire family system. Because wellness isn't just about self-care… it's about the legacy you're creating for the next generation.

Together, we unpack how patterns of anger, overwhelm, and chronic stress get passed down in families — and how to finally break the cycle. In this episode you'll hear:

  • Why stress isn't always bad, but becomes harmful when your body never feels safe (aka the cortisol hum).

  • How unresolved emotions and disconnection show up in the body — from hormone imbalances to fatigue and resentment.

  • The way childhood modeling shapes how we handle conflict and stress in marriage.

  • Practical ways to track your body's signals (like HRV) and create a calmer emotional climate at home.

  • Simple habits couples can build to protect their emotional and physical well-being — and, in turn, their kids'.

Dr. Taz also shares how she's disrupting the medical industry through her Hol+ network (add link) — an integrative system combining Eastern and Western medicine to care for families as a whole, offering both in-person clinics and virtual access nationwide. Her mission is simple yet profound: to help every family heal from the inside out.

This episode is a reminder that when one person in the family heals, everyone benefits. The health of your marriage, your body, and your home are all connected — and you have the power to create a new emotional legacy for your family.
