In this episode, Dr. Greg welcomes health coach Loredana Morett, NBC-HWC, to explore the profound connections between the mind, heart, and body. Loredana shares her journey from practicing traditional medicine to embracing integrative health, as she and Dr. Greg discuss how heart-brain “coherence,” heart rate variability, and mindful practices like breathwork can foster true healing and well-being. They dive into recent research on the heart’s “little brain,” a neural network that influences emotional and physical health, highlighting simple steps to help you align and strengthen your mind-body connection. If you're curious about subtle signs of balance within the body and looking for ways to deepen your wellness journey, this conversation offers both inspiration and practical insights.
