Love’s Transformative Power

February invites us to celebrate the incredible strength and wisdom of the heart—a symbol of love, resilience and vitality. This month is an opportunity to explore what truly nourishes us and to recognize the transformative power of love in all its forms.

Transformation begins with intention. Whether it’s making healthier choices, cultivating deeper connections, or simply taking time to appreciate life’s small joys, the heart is at the center of it all. When we listen to our hearts—truly tune into their rhythm—we gain clarity, purpose, and the energy to grow into our best selves.

Love, in all its forms, is vital to our well-being. Whether it’s the love we share with a partner, family, friends, or even ourselves, it serves as a foundation for our health and happiness. Studies continue to show that love and connection boost immunity, reduce stress and contribute to a longer life. But beyond the scientific benefits, love enriches our souls, providing strength and courage as we navigate life’s challenges.

Heart health is not only physical, but emotional and spiritual as well. Acts of love and care, whether directed inward or outward, strengthen the bond between our minds and bodies. They remind us that self-care is not selfish; it’s a vital step in becoming the source of strength and kindness for others.

Transformation often starts quietly, with small, intentional choices. Whether it’s prioritizing heart-healthy habits, cultivating gratitude, or simply pausing to breathe and reflect, these moments of care have the power to ripple through our lives in profound ways.

Let’s step into this month with open hearts; let’s consider the ways we can harness the power of love and transformation. Perhaps it’s by setting aside quiet moments to reflect on what makes our heart happiest or by embracing small, but meaningful lifestyle changes that support long-term health.

Every positive action—no matter how small—creates ripples that can uplift those around us.

With love and heartfelt gratitude,

Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care Supports Heart Health Through Nervous System Optimization

Dr. Thuraia Owais, a seasoned Upper Cervical Chiropractor at San Jose Chiropractic, highlights the integral role of spinal alignment in promoting cardiovascular wellness. Misalignments in the upper cervical spine can adversely affect the brainstem, which controls essential functions such as blood pressure, heart rate and circulation. Recent studies reveal that correcting these misalignments may lead to improved cardiovascular health, reduced blood pressure and enhanced stress management.

In today’s fast-paced environment, individuals are increasingly seeking natural, non-invasive approaches to overall wellness. Owais emphasizes that spinal alignment is key to maintaining effective communication between the brain and body. “A properly functioning nervous system supports a healthier heart by improving the body’s ability to handle stress and maintain balance,” she explains.

Owais specializes in orthospinology chiropractic care, which involves precise adjustments of the atlas vertebra to reduce nerve interference. Research demonstrates that these adjustments can significantly lower blood pressure in individuals with hypertension, making it a compelling option for proactive health management.

At San Jose Chiropractic, Owais and her team provide personalized care to optimize nervous system function, helping patients achieve lasting wellness from the inside out. Complimentary consultations are available to educate individuals on how spinal health impacts cardiovascular function.

Proactive Steps

Cardiovascular

The heart tirelessly powers the body, yet it often re ceives attention only when issues arise. Proactive care ensures long-term cardio vascular health, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Regular testing, such as cholesterol checks, lipoprotein(a) levels, and A1C blood sugar monitoring, can help detect early warning signs. Imaging tests, like coronary calcium scoring, reveal arterial health and plaque levels, while home blood pressure monitoring provides valuable insight into daily fluctuations.

Smart Pillow 10minds, a South Korean company, has introduced Motionsleep, a smart pillow that can detect snoring and measure oxygen saturation levels for improved sleep and health management. The pillow uses artificial intelligence to record, track, learn and analyze the user’s snoring patterns through a Bluetoothpowered application.

Using seven built-in airbags, the application adjusts the pillow to

Lifestyle choices profoundly affect heart health. Including heart-healthy supplements—like aged garlic, fish oil, and CoQ10—alongside a balanced diet supports cardiovascular function. Stress management techniques, such as meditation, significantly reduce risks like hypertension and diabetes, with studies revealing up to a 49 percent lower chance of coronary artery disease for those who meditate. For chocolate lovers, raw cacao with high flavonoid content not only satisfies cravings but also aids in reducing cortisol levels and enhancing heart resilience.

Taking time to prioritize these habits creates a foundation for lifelong wellness, empowering individuals to prevent complications and improve quality of life.

Long-Term Health of Cesarean Babies

According to the March of Dimes, nearly a third of live births in the United States are by Cesarean section (Csection), posing increased risks of health problems such as obesity, Type 2 diabetes, asthma and allergies. Scientists suspect that the lack of exposure to the microorganisms in the mother’s vagina during birth may be the reason. Vaginal seeding by wiping a newborn’s skin, nose and mouth with the mother’s vaginal microbes can make the skin and gut microbiome of C-section infants more similar to vaginally delivered babies, but the long-term impacts on health have not been determined.

Guiding Children Toward Purpose

with Positive Intelligence Coaching

Dan Gormley, a father of five and an accomplished Transformational Coach, is inspiring change in the lives of young people through his Positive Mindset PQ Youth Program. This innovative initiative leverages Positive Intelligence (PQ) to help children uncover their passions, develop resilience and build a future founded on purpose and fulfillment.

The Positive Mindset PQ Youth Program equips children to identify and embrace their unique gifts. By fostering curiosity, the program encourages participants to explore what truly excites them, creating a powerful flow of intrinsic motivation. The program’s transformative approach guides young people to connect with their inner strengths and to envision meaningful life paths.

Central to the program is addressing the 10 saboteurs—fear-based thought patterns that often develop during childhood. The most influential saboteur, The Judge, affects children by fostering self-criticism and harsh judgment of others. These saboteurs can hinder performance in academics, social relationships and personal growth.

Through guided meditation exercises and practical strategies, the PQ program helps children recognize and stop these destructive thought patterns. By shifting from a fear-driven mindset to the Sage mindset, participants cultivate love-based powers such as empathy, exploration, innovation, navigation and activation. These tools enable children to face challenges with confidence and a positive outlook.

Dan Gormley

“Children need our guidance and support. PQ Coaching can empower their Sage mindset, encouraging thoughtful decisions rather than fear-based reactions,” says Gormley.

The program is particularly beneficial for high school students facing the pressures of academic achievement, extracurricular commitments and future career planning. The emphasis on fostering gratitude, love and fulfillment through the Sage mindset ensures participants develop the emotional intelligence necessary to thrive in all aspects of life.

Parents seeking deeper connections with

their children and a way to alleviate their stress will also find value in Gormley’s methods. By teaching children to overcome their saboteurs, families can experience stronger bonds and more meaningful interactions.

The Thriving Heart

Integrative Approaches to Cardiology

by Carrie Jackson

Although only the size of a fist, our hearts pump blood to our organs and supply oxygen and nutrients to our cells, allowing every system to function optimally. Maintaining a healthy heart is one of the most important factors for overall wellness, and cardiovascular disease is highly preventable. Integrative cardiology, which focuses on treating the whole person rather than just the heart, reflects a shift toward more individualized, patient-centered care. Using personalized nutrition, expansive blood testing, advanced therapies and holistic practices, doctors and patients can blend the best of traditional and integrative strategies for a more balanced and effective approach to heart health.

The 100-Year Heart

Dr. Jack Wolfson is a board-certified cardiologist, bestselling author and founder of the site NaturalHeartDoctor.com. He pioneered the 100-year heart method, which focuses on what he calls “thrival” nutrition, lifestyle, biohacking and ultra-diagnostics to lead a life filled with vitality, clarity and longevity. “Our approach is root-cause medicine, which puts pharma last,” he explains. “By looking at daily habits and lifestyle choices, we are able to see why people develop cardiovascular disease, which is the number one killer worldwide.”

Wolfson notes that cardiovascular health begins by giving the heart the nutrition it

needs to thrive. “Food is medicine, and a paleo-based diet like our ancestors followed has been shown to optimize heart function,” he says. “I recommend patients focus on eating wild seafood and pasture-raised meats such as bison, including organs like the heart and liver. This is supplemented by foraging for things like eggs, raw dairy, nuts, seeds, avocados, coconuts and other fruits and vegetables.”

How we live has a dramatic effect on heart health, and Wolfson asserts that there are a number of lifestyle factors we can control. “A thrival lifestyle centers around being outside in natural sunlight and participating in activities we enjoy. When combined

with a positive mindset and high-quality sleep, these practices increase longevity and contribute to a deeper sense of meaning and fulfillment,” he says. “It’s also essential to avoid environmental toxins, such as air pollution, plastic and indoor pollutants like mold from water damage, to the best of your ability. Finally, managing stress and getting movement throughout your day are key to optimal cardiovascular function.”

A truly holistic approach to wellness combines many interrelated tools. “Find an activity you love to do outside, whether that’s hiking, biking, stand-up paddleboarding or yoga. Before you begin, turn your attention inward and think of three things you are grateful for,” Wolfson advises. “This gratitude practice helps you find your happy place, and it gives you a sense of purpose in a world where that’s becoming increasingly difficult. It engages the autonomic nervous system, which controls functions like heart rate and blood pressure.”

Wolfson believes that for a healthy mind, body and heart, a chiropractor should be the gatekeeper to overall wellness. “Chiropractic care uses the manipulations of bones in a purposeful way to make impactful changes to the neurologic system. It sends out beneficial, efferent signals to all of the cells, tissues and organs, including the heart. It also helps to get us out of the ‘fight-flight-orfreeze’ mode that so many people are operating in,” he remarks. “Chronic stress from work, family, news and finances keeps the sympathetic nervous system activated, but chiropractic treatments help stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which allows us to rest and digest.”

To kickstart heart health even further, Wolfson’s 100-year heart method uses thrival biohacking methods such as supplements and non-surgical recovery therapies. “Evidence-based, food-grade supplements from field-harvested animals and wild fish support heart function without chemicals or pharmaceuticals,” he points out. “People

also may need additional minerals like magnesium, herbal remedies, probiotics or detox strategies if they’ve been living around pollutants. Non-invasive technologies like red light therapy, sauna use, massage, ozone therapy and other cutting-edge treatments help to hack our system and support a healthy heart.”

Treating the Whole Person

Dr. Mimi Guarneri is a California-based cardiologist; the medical director of Pacific Pearl La Jolla; an award-winning researcher, consultant and philanthropist; and president of the Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine. In her practice, she combines conventional, integrative and natural medicine to holistically treat the whole patient.

Guarneri says that while cardiovascular disease is still largely misunderstood, it is also highly preventable. “People think it’s a disease of cholesterol, but it’s actually due to inflammation, oxidative stress and immune response,” she explains. “Inflammation can come from obesity, stress, sleep apnea, poor food choices and food sensitivities, and that is what causes damage to the lining of the blood vessels. In the conventional medicine realm, that means telling patients to stop smoking, lose weight and get blood pressure and cholesterol under control. From a holistic perspective, we look at all the lifestyle factors that contribute to heart health.”

When treating a patient with heart disease, Guarneri uses the metaphor of a tree with sick branches. “Instead of just cutting them off, you have to look at the soil to see what can be causing the illness. The soil of our lives includes micro- and macro-nutrition, a healthy microbiome, avoiding toxins, highquality sleep, physical activity and mental, emotional and spiritual wellness. All these factors contribute to healthy heart function,” she says.

Guarneri uses advanced testing to assess a patient’s baseline heart health. “We begin with a blood and urine micronutrient

Feature Story

analysis, which measures the level of antioxidants and nutrients in the body. Then we conduct a microbiome analysis, which is a three-day stool test that shows how someone is digesting their food. We can see every type of microbe, any parasites and if there is dysbiosis [imbalance] or bacteria overgrowth. Finally, we conduct an in-home study on sleep, which is an integral part of cardiovascular health. Someone with sleep apnea can snore and stop breathing, putting them at increased risk for heart disease, heart failure and high blood pressure,” she says.

Advanced cardiovascular testing shows additional valuable data. “An EndoPAT tells us if the lining of the blood vessels is making nitric oxide, the most important ingredient for heart health. This is a 40-minute, in-office procedure that does not require radiation. Since cardiovascular disease is an inflammatory disease, we do advanced lipid testing to measure inflammatory markers. A high-sensitivity C-reactive protein test measures the level of C-reactive protein in your blood to assess your risk of heart disease and

stroke. A 24-hour blood pressure cuff tells us what’s happening throughout the day, and a continuous glucose monitor shows how blood sugar reacts to foods. It’s also valuable feedback to the patient, who can see how their body responds to what they’re ingesting,” says Guarneri.

With all this data, the team creates a road map to health. “We make recommendations based on each patient’s individual needs, including supplements, food choices and lifestyle modifications,” she says. “I may suggest nutraceuticals to complete something that’s missing, such as vitamin D, or I may use them to treat a problem. We’ll prescribe omega-3 [fatty acids] if your triglycerides are high, but we’re also going to give you a low glycemic index diet.”

Guarneri works with patients to manage stress through mindfulness, meditation, exercise and other lifestyle choices. “If you are in constant ‘fight-or-flight’ mode, you are producing adrenaline, noradrenaline and cortisol, which cause blood pressure to go

up, the coronary arteries to constrict, cholesterol to increase and oxidative stress to develop,” she explains.

Guarneri points to a study involving Black Americans with hypertension that showed a 48 percent reduction in cardiovascular events through the use of transcendental meditation. “Mindfulness has also been shown to improve telomeres, telomerase and other genes of aging. Making conscious decisions in our behavior in response to stress is key to overall wellness and cardiovascular function. If your habit is to go home and have a drink after a hard day, we encourage patients to put on their tennis shoes and take a walk instead,” she says.

The Future of Cardiology

New advancements in cardiology are made all the time. In the coming year, cardiologists and researchers are expected to dig deeper into lipid disorders, obesity management and RNA-based therapies for conditions like cardiac amyloidosis, heart failure, dilated cardiomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We can also expect to see an increase of awareness and interest in the role lipidology [the study of lipids or fatty acids] has on cardiovascular disease. “Preventive cardiologists and clinical lipidologists like myself have been checking Lp(a) levels for well over two decades now, but there has been little we could do medically to reduce high levels,” says Yasmine S. Ali, MD, MSCI, FACC, FACP, adding that a number of nucleic acid therapeutic trials suggest this may change soon.

Experts stress that despite technological treatment advancements, preventative care is still the most effective way to ensure cardiovascular health. “Everyday lifestyle choices have the biggest impact on overall wellness and living a life of vitality, clarity and longevity,” says Wolfson.

Wise Words

Anil Gupta

on Immediate Happiness

by Sandra Yeyati

Known as the Love Doctor, Anil Gupta is an international public speaker, life coach, relationship mentor and bestselling author of Immediate Happiness. He has held workshops in 18 countries; spoken at Harvard University and Tedx SugarLand; been featured in numerous publications and media outlets, including Fox News, Sky TV, ABC, CBS and NBC; and met with or coached celebrities, billionaires, athletes, royalty and spiritual leaders. Before moving to the United States with his wife and two children, and embarking upon his coaching career, Gupta was an optometrist for 20 years in the UK.

What is the happiness formula?

Happiness is equal to G times G times G.

The first G is, you have to give—your time, your energy, your love, your commitment, your joy, your gifts, your money—without wanting anything in return. The second G is, you have to be grateful for what you have and not focus on what you don’t have. The third G is, you have to grow emotionally, physically, spiritually, financially and mentally. What’s beautiful about this formula is that any time you feel low or upset, one of the three Gs has drastically dropped down. All you have to do is work out which of them it is. Do I need to give, grow or be grateful? And that takes away all of the overwhelm.

Can you describe what you mean by giving?

It could be a smile, a thank-you, a compliment or opening the door for someone. There are two types of people on the planet: ones that make you happy when they enter a room and ones that make you happy when they leave a room. When you give authentically, all the pain and suffering you’re going through disappears, because you disappear. Your problems disappear and it’s impossible to be upset when you authentically give because you’re focusing on someone else. In the moment you give, you receive endorphins, the person receiving that act of kindness or gift receives endorphins, the person observing that act of kindness receives endorphins, the person sharing the act of kindness receives endorphins and the person receiving that shared act of kindness receives endorphins, so it goes a long way.

Can you explain the gratitude component?

When was the last time you thanked your hands for everything that they’ve done for you? What have you done to reward your heart and to make sure that it’s working properly? Our bodies are miracles, and we have much to be grateful for.

What is your definition of growth, and how do we go about achieving it?

Growth can be emotional, physical, spiritual, mental or financial. So it’s improving mental capabilities, working on your emotions, working on being worthy or lovable, working on being the best version of you. Are you physically healthy? Are you hydrating? Are you taking your supplements? Are you exercising? And spiritually, it’s about being a beautiful soul, having a great vibrational energy. You don’t have to go to church for that.

Ultimately, it all boils down to one thing: awareness. Awareness gives you clarity; clarity gives you focus; focus gives you action; action gives you results; and results give you momentum, which gives you everything. You cannot be joyous, healthy or in love without awareness, and most people

don’t have the awareness; they’re numb or in a funk or just comfortable.

How do you define awareness, and how can we be more aware?

Awareness is a discipline we have to practice, like a muscle. To remind yourself to be more aware, you can put a Post-it note with the word “awareness” on your computer, or a rubber band on your wrist or a sock in your back pocket. You can have your phone ring every two hours as an alarm to remind you to be aware. By putting systems into place, you become aware of being aware, and then you’ll start noticing so many things.

Are there mantras you suggest for people?

This is my life. Now I’m in charge. I can handle this. I’m bigger than this. It’s not about

When you give authentically, all the pain and suffering you’re going through disappears.

me; it’s about the difference I make. When I speak, people listen. I am strong. I am powerful. I am kind. I am generous. I am playful. I have integrity. I love people, and people love me. I make a difference. I am love. I am joy. I am a free spirit. I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready. I love me, I love me, I love me. Today is the day. Today is freedom day. Whoever meets me today is going to benefit by having an incredible time with me.

You can adapt it for yourself, but these are beautiful incantations. Most people have

negative incantations like—I’m stupid; I’m not good enough; no one loves me; I’m alone—and they reinforce it, but if you are the light, the darkness will disappear.

Chocolate Champions

Benefits of Dark Chocolate and Cacao

by Marlaina Donato

Ancient Mayans prepared beans from the cacao tree, mixed with spices, to make a ceremonial drink that was both sacred and medicinal for them. Today, the market is filled with all sorts of chocolaty treats, but dark chocolate is the low-sugar, nutritional superhero that tickles the tastebuds, boosts the production of mood-enhancing endorphins and delivers flavanols, the antioxidant compounds linked to improved cardiovascular health.

“Chocolate affects us deeply when it comes to our emotions. This is why you get it when you are sad, when you are happy or when you want to show your love. Chocolate doesn’t just hit the heartstrings, it’s also scientific,” says Chris Davis, a private chef and third-generation cocoa devotee from Belmont, North Carolina, who is passionate about the ingredient’s sweet and savory potential.

The benefits of dark chocolate can be traced back to its high flavanol content. Researchers have discovered that this antioxidant supports the production of nitric oxide, which is crucial for improving circulation, relaxing blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. Flavanols have also been shown to increase insulin sensitivity, which could reduce the risk of diabetes. Observational studies have shown that indulging in one or two small squares (approximately six grams) of high-quality chocolate daily reduces the risk of mortality from heart disease.

How Chocolate Is Made

Chocolate production involves a complex set of steps, beginning with a cacao pod that is larger than the palm of a hand. The seeds inside this pod are fermented, dried and roasted to create cocoa beans, which are comprised of nibs, cocoa butter and an

outer shell. The nibs are ground and refined to produce cocoa solids, and the shell is ground into cocoa powder. The most beneficial dark chocolate contains 70 to 90 percent cocoa solids with minimal added sugar and no artificial ingredients such as alkali, a flavor enhancer that greatly diminishes flavanol content.

Another nutritional powerhouse is cacao powder, which is made from raw cacao beans and nibs that are fermented and roasted at much lower temperatures than the beans used to make cocoa powder. Although it is more bitter, cacao powder retains more of the bean’s original nutritional value, including flavonoids and antioxidants.

Therapeutic Indulgence

“Rich in B vitamins, cacao is full of minerals such as calcium, copper, magnesium,

phosphorus, potassium, copper and zinc,” says Sara Ratza, from Tarpon Springs, Florida, a clinical herbalist, health practitioner and author of Drinking Chocolate: Ancient Traditions for Modern Healing. “Traditionally, cacao is given to help raise serotonin and level out dopamine, so the Indigenous people share cacao to help those dealing with addictions. Cacao contains hundreds of chemical compounds such as phenethylamine, which is associated with the production of endorphins in the brain.”

According to Ratza, theobromine, cacao’s main chemical constituent that many confuse for caffeine, has psychological effects that enhance mood. Cacao was an important part of her own emotional healing while she grieved the loss of both her brother and father. During the COVID pandemic, she owned and operated a brick-and-mortar chocolate factory and shop. “The stories of people coming

in and dealing with the trauma of the time is forever ingrained in my heart,” she recalls.

Ratza recommends using cacao in the form of nibs or powder from reputable sources. “If your chocolate has transparency of the origin and/or farm, generally you are buying a higher-quality product,” she explains. No matter how we revel in dark chocolate or cacao, it is important to opt for the “fair trade” certification that ensures the product was manufactured without child labor and at a fair wage for workers.

The Savory Side

For most of us, our love affair with chocolate is based on its sweet form, but a whole world of gourmet fare celebrates its versatility beyond the candy bar or smoothie. For Davis, “The magic truly happens when applied in a savory way. There is a whole other flavor profile to chocolate before sugar is added to

it when you want to add an earthy depth to a dish or add smokiness to a protein. Almost any sauce I make with wild game, red meat or red wine I will add a bit of cacao to give it the flavor and color that no other ingredient will come close to.” One of his favorite Mexican recipes is mole, a rich and savory sauce made from chilis and chocolate.

Opening Our Hearts to Chocolate

Ratza believes that consuming chocolate takes us on a journey, if we allow a little time for it to transport and transform us. “Cacao almost forces you to slow down,” she says. “It is important to sit and close your eyes as you sip a cup of cacao or let a piece of chocolate melt on your tongue.”

CHOCOLATE CHERRY VINAIGRETTE

YIELD: 1 QUART

As a salad dressing, this pairs wonderfully with goat cheese, mozzarella or feta, as well as almonds, pecans, dried cranberries, avocado or beets. It is also delicious drizzled over chicken or white fish, such as grouper.

1 cup fresh cherries, pitted

3 Tbsp cocoa powder

1 tsp ground cinnamon

2 sprigs fresh thyme

¾ cup apple cider vinegar

2 Tbsp lemon juice

½ cup honey

2 Tbsp whole-grain mustard

1½ cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 tsp salt plus more to taste

Place cherries and honey in a blender and blend until smooth. Add cocoa powder, salt, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, cinnamon and thyme, and continue blending. Add the oil to the blender in a slow and steady pour until the dressing thickens and fully emulsifies. Will remain fresh for two weeks in the refrigerator.

CHOCOLATE-BRAISED SHORT RIBS

YIELD: 4 SERVINGS

2 lb short ribs (boneless or bone-in)

1 celery stalk

1 carrot

1 yellow onion

6 garlic cloves

2 Roma (plum) tomatoes

3 sprigs rosemary

1 cup tomato paste

¾ cup cocoa powder

1 bottle red wine

2 to 3 cups chicken stock

¼ cup apple cider vinegar

3 whole cloves

Salt and pepper

Oil for cooking

Cut up all of the vegetables and set aside.

Generously season all sides of the short ribs with salt and pepper. Heat a large Dutch oven or braising pan and add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Carefully sear all sides of the short ribs until brown. Remove the ribs and set aside. Add the vegetables to the pan. Cover the short ribs with the tomato paste and add the ribs back into the pot on top of the veggies.

Deglaze the pan with the entire bottle of red wine and add enough chicken stock to cover the short ribs. Add cocoa powder, rosemary, cloves and vinegar, and mix until the cocoa powder is dissolved.

Cover the pan and carefully place it in the oven for six hours at 250° F. Once cooked, remove the short ribs and strain the leftover mixture into a bowl to discard the veggies and rosemary sprigs (except carrots, if desired). Add strained liquid and short ribs back into the pot and serve.

HEART-OPENING DRINKING CHOCOLATE

YIELD: 1 SERVING

This traditional drinking chocolate does not need milk to froth because the fat from the bean creates the traditional froth at the top of the mug. The main ingredient, cacao paste, contains a higher level of heart-healthy, mood-boosting compounds than found in dark chocolate. For 100 percent pure cacao-bean paste, look for ceremonial-grade cacao, which can be found online or in health food stores.

⅛ to ¼ cup cacao paste

Dash of cinnamon

Dash of cayenne pepper or Cobanero chili pepper

Sprinkle of sea salt

Sweetener to taste (optional)

Put all ingredients in a 12-ounce mug. Add just enough hot water (almost boiling) to cover the cacao. Whisk by hand or with a frother. Once blended, pour additional hot water to fill the cup. Sip slowly with eyes closed and enjoy.

Stretching for Heart Health

Gentle Movements To Regulate Stress and Circulation

by Maya Whitman

The beauty of stretching is that it doesn’t require fancy equipment or hours of dedication. And, it doesn’t just improve flexibility and range of motion in the joints and muscles. In just a few minutes, simple stretches can reduce stress and improve heart health and circulation, too.

A 2020 meta-analysis published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health suggests that stretching exercises reduce arterial stiffness, resting heart rate and diastolic blood pressure, generally improving the functioning of blood vessels in adults.

A 2020 study published in The Journal of Physiology by the University of Milan also found improved blood flow, lower blood pressure and decreased stiffness of the arteries in 54 participants that completed a 12-week stretching program. People with stiff arteries often have high blood pressure, high cholesterol and/or inflammation. Good blood flow reduces arterial wall damage and may lower the risk for heart attacks and strokes.

Try these heart-healthy stretches at least two to three days a week, and repeat each stretch on both sides two to four times.

Seated Forward Bend: Sit on the floor with legs extended straight ahead. Keep the back straight and slowly reach forward for the toes, stretching as far as possible without straining. Hold this position for 20 to 30

seconds to gently stretch the hamstrings and lower back, while taking deep, controlled breaths to deliver oxygen-rich blood to the heart and muscles. Combining physical movement with mindful breathing reduces stress—a key factor in heart disease.

Cat-Cow Stretch: Begin in a tabletop position with hands and knees on the floor. For the “cat” pose, arch the back toward the ceiling while tucking the chin to the chest. Gently shift into the “cow” position by lifting the head while allowing the belly to drop toward the floor. Flow between these two poses for 30 to 40 seconds, focusing on breathing. This stretch improves circulation, relieves tension in the spine and facilitates better blood flow throughout the body. It also enhances the connection between breath and movement, promoting relaxation and a steady heart rate.

Chest-Opener Stretch: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Clasp hands behind the back and gently lift them up as the chest is opened toward the ceiling. Hold the stretch for 20 to 30 seconds. Opening up the chest is great for posture; it also expands the lungs and improves breathing, boosting oxygen intake, which the heart needs to fuel the body efficiently and maintain healthy circulation.

Downward Dog: Start in a tabletop position. Tuck the toes under and lift the hips toward the ceiling to form an inverted “V” shape. Keep the heels as close to the floor as possible and hold for 30 seconds while breathing deeply. This popular yoga pose stretches the shoulders, hamstrings and calves while promoting blood flow to the heart and brain and relieving tension in the body. It also encourages a calm, yet focused state of mind.

Side Neck Stretch: Sit or stand tall, keeping the shoulders relaxed. Slowly tilt the head toward one shoulder until there is a feeling of a light stretch along the opposite side of the neck. Hold for 15 to 20 seconds and repeat on the other side. Stress often builds up

in the neck and shoulders, which can lead to tension headaches and increased blood pressure. These gentle neck movements will modulate blood pressure and encourage relaxation. Pair the stretch with slow, controlled breathing to calm the nervous system, which can positively impact the heart.

Seated Spinal Twist: Sit on the floor with legs extended. Bend the right knee and place the right foot on the outside of the left thigh. Place the right hand on the floor behind the back. Place the left elbow on the outside of the right knee. Twist gradually to the right while keeping the spine tall. Hold for 20 seconds, then repeat on the other side. This stretch improves spinal flexibility and stimulates blood flow around the major arteries of the torso. It also massages the internal organs, aiding digestion and indirectly benefiting cardiovascular health.

Standing Hamstring Stretch: Stand with feet hip-width apart. Extend one leg out in front, placing the heel on the ground with the toes pointing upward. Softly bend the other knee and lean forward from the hips, keeping the back straight. Hold for 15 to 20 seconds, then switch legs. Stretching the hamstrings enhances blood circulation in the lower body, which can reduce pressure on the heart. This is particularly helpful for anyone that spends long periods sitting during the day.

Metabolic Health Strategies

Weight Management With the Help of Medications

by Madiha Saeed, M.D.

Obesity is on the rise in this country, affecting just over 40 percent of adults and nearly 20 percent of children, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. People that are obese are at higher risk of developing numerous health problems, including Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, fatty liver disease, breathing difficulties, kidney disease and some forms of cancer. Obesity can also take a toll on mental health, posing risk of developing body image problems, low self-esteem, depression and eating disorders.

In light of this public health crisis, GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and other peptides, including insulin, have become significant areas of interest. These amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, acting as messengers in support of immune, brain and mitochondrial health.

Because of their regenerative properties, BPC-157 and thymosin beta-4 peptides are prescribed for tissue repair and healing, particularly in sports medicine and injury recovery. For weight management and anti-aging, GLP-1, CJC-1295 and

ipamorelin stimulate the release of growth hormones, which are believed to improve body composition by reducing fat and increasing muscle mass.

GLP-1 Agonists

Naturally secreted by the intestines in response to food intake, GLP-1 plays a key role in glucose metabolism by stimulating insulin and inhibiting glucagon secretion. Medications such as semaglutide (marketed as Ozempic and Wegovy), liraglutide (Saxenda and Victoza) and dulaglutide (Trulicity), are called GLP-1 receptor agonists because they mimic the effects of GLP-1. “GLP-1 agonists are great for weight loss when other things have been tried and have failed, and someone seems to be more resistant to weight loss,” says Rajka Milanovic Galbraith, M.D., a longevity expert and founder of Simply Health Institute, in Illinois.

“For people who are truly obese, have diabetes and long-standing metabolic issues, GLP-1 can be a lifesaver,” says Lorraine Maita, a board-certified functional and integrative doctor in New Jersey. She notes that these medications can also reduce the risk of joint pain, cardiovascular

disease, Alzheimer’s disease and many obesity-related cancers.

Side Effects

According to Maita, “GLP-1 medications have their place, and most people who need them get good results. However, they are expensive, inconvenient injectables that need refrigeration and are in short supply, with limited or no insurance coverage. They can be difficult to wean off and if not dosed properly, have significant side effects, and some people do not get results or can’t tolerate them no matter what.”

Common side effects include gastrointestinal problems, such as nausea, diarrhea and vomiting, as well as muscle wasting, malnutrition, loss of fat in the face and pancreatitis. Maita cycles the medicine—three weeks on and one week off, or three months on and one month off. She starts with the lowest dose that offers results without side effects, and if side effects develop, she stops the medication until the patient gets relief and pre-treatment symptoms return, at which time she will go back on a lower dosage. The goal is to stay at the lowest dose that provides benefit.

Longevity Benefits

“Beyond their use for weight loss, GLP-1 medications may play a beneficial role in longevity, especially as it relates to heart health—the number one cause of death—as well as brain health,” says Galbraith. “In studies, they have found them to be cardio-protective and can help the heart recover from damage caused by heart attacks. They are also neuro-protective, showing promise in slowing or preventing memory loss in Alzheimer's disease. Lastly, they enhance mitochondrial function, which supports energy production in our cells.”

Maita emphasizes that treatment must be individualized and under a physician’s care to get the best results. “You still must eat healthy, exercise, balance your hormones, heal your gut and live a healthy lifestyle,” she counsels. “There is no free ride.”
