Dr. Alan Rozanski

It was such a remarkable finding at the time.

It was stunning to me.

Looking back 1970s, there was three times as many people dying from heart disease compared to cancer.

Have you seen cases where people might be undergoing like chronic stress or experiencing chronic stress, but they're just not aware of it?

Living with depression untreated is one of the most toxic things to your health.

Under chronic depression, the body seems to go haywire.

It does not tolerate depression.

There's a U-shaped relationship.

People who have a moderate amount of stress

are actually doing better than both ends of the spectrum.

They do better than people who have toxic stress, but also they do better than people who don't have stress.

So if your vitality is down, if that sense of feeling energetic is down, then you have to think about it.

Thank you.

It's a pleasure to be here.

Absolutely.

It was one of those epiphanies, if you will.

This was back in the early 1980s.

We were studying cardiologists, but also specializing cardiac imaging techniques.

We put people under stress on a treadmill and we look at the heart wall motion or the blood flow.

And so one of the techniques is specifically that we have patients on a bicycle and we have them exercise.
