Chronic stress is silently destroying your heart, gut, and immune system. Discover the science behind how cortisol damages your body and three evidence-based techniques to reverse the damage today.
A 52-year-old man with chest pain gets a clean heart test, then suffers a massive heart attack six months later. The culprit? Chronic stress that went undiagnosed. In this video, I break down exactly how stress relief isn't just about feeling better - it's about preventing life-threatening disease.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
