Drawing from the American Heart Association’s findings and his own medical experience, Dr. Lamounier explains how practices like breathwork and presence can counteract the damaging effects of loneliness, depression, and stress—factors that often lead to substance abuse and sedentary habits. Tune in to learn practical, science-backed techniques to calm your nervous system, strengthen your heart, and lead a more connected life.
