If you could see the inside of your arteries, you’d see your history. ⁠
⁠
Years of stress, inconsistent sleep and perhaps blood pressure that was “borderline” for a little too long.⁠
⁠
But you’d also see what’s working, like healthy meals, regular movement, and slower mornings that gave your body time to recover. ⁠
⁠
The inside of your arteries tells a story. And every day is a chance to shape what comes next.

What kind of story to you think your arteries would tell?

Did you know this peppery green is more than just a salad filler?⁠
⁠
Arugula is packed with nitrates, which can help relax blood vessels and improve blood flow — this is great for your blood pressure and overall vascular function. ⁠
⁠
It’s also high in:⁠
⁠
Vitamin K – supports healthy arteries⁠
⁠
Antioxidants – fight inflammation⁠
⁠
Folate – essential for heart health⁠
⁠
As a cardiologist, I always encourage heart-smart nutrition as a powerful ally to medical treatment. Arugula is a simple (and delicious) way to support your heart naturally. I eat it in my daily salads too! ⁠
⁠
Tip: Try tossing it with olive oil and lemon for a quick side that loves your arteries back. ⁠

Cardiovascular health plays a critical role in preserving brain function. ⁠
⁠
When the heart and blood vessels are under strain, the brain often feels the impact first. ⁠
⁠
Here’s how:⁠
→ Reduced blood flow limits the brain’s access to oxygen and nutrients, which are essential for memory, focus, and processing.⁠
→ Chronic hypertension can damage the small vessels in the brain, increasing the risk of vascular dementia.⁠
→ Atherosclerosis (the buildup of plaque in arteries) can impair circulation to the brain over time.⁠
→ Atrial fibrillation can increase the risk of blood clots, which may lead to stroke or silent brain injuries.⁠
⁠
By managing cardiovascular risk factors early, we’re also investing in cognitive clarity, memory retention, and quality of life later on.

Chronic stress can impact your mood and cardiovascular health.⁠
⁠
When stress is ongoing, your body stays in a heightened state. Chronic stress can increase blood pressure, putting strain on your heart. It can also cause inflammation, which can contribute to plaque build-up in your arteries. Over time, these and other stress related outcomes can create real cardiovascular risk.⁠
⁠
We often see this in people with nonstop routines, limited downtime, and very little space to reset. But supporting your heart doesn’t always require a huge lifestyle change.⁠
⁠
My advice is to always start small. Carve out quiet time in your day, prioritize consistent sleep, and move your body in ways that help you feel grounded. Even a few intentional moments can help regulate your nervous system and give your heart the break it needs.⁠
⁠
Taking care of your stress is taking care of your heart.

Tip of the day: You don’t have to try to do the most in order to make an impact.

Powerful work often happens when you slow down, listen carefully, and lead with intention.

Medicine has taught me that presence can be just as healing as precision. It’s not always about doing more. Sometimes, it’s simply about doing what matters in a thoughtful and engaged way.
