The mindbodygreen Podcast · 634: A cardiologist’s guide to mind-body medicine | Tara Narula, M.D. · 25 Jan 2026 podcast

I think that's a great tool for you.

And again, I think people are surprised to hear their cardiologist talking about therapy.

But you know, I think it can be a really powerful thing to help people in their life in their medical journey, socially and in every aspect.

move the most in a negative way when i am very stressed and so that that is the and it changes daily yeah i mean stress is stress is a killer and again that is why in the first half of the book i wanted to be very clear in laying out you know the history of stress research and what stress does to our body i mean this is a this is a relatively new field in medicine as well i mean we started to study stress in the last you know 100 years this is not something we

have been looking into for a long time and we're learning more and more, but you know, it is damaging.

And I tell my patients to every part of your body, right.

And there's, you know, we see it in cardiology.

There's a stress induced heart attack, which is an acute stressor that can literally cause a heart attack and the heart function to decline.

So, I mean, I don't know, you know, that, that is the best evidence of a sort of an acute trauma and the real impact that can have on the body.

And we see signs of chronic stress.

And now that we're using imaging, PET scans and everything else, we're able to finally show people pictures, which I think will hopefully change people's understanding of how areas in the brain light up and the bone marrow lights up and inflammatory cells are released from the bone marrow.

And then the heart cells, the lining of the walls of the vessels become inflamed, right?

So we're linking these visually so people can see, aha,

stress is not just the same amorphous thing that's bad.

We actually physiologically see the connection between the mind and everything else and all those hormones that are released.

And so I tell my patients, look, you can't change the stressors in your life.

You can't change your job all the time.

Maybe you can, but you can't change a lot of things, but you can change your response.

You can try to turn off your stress response periodically throughout the day, whether that's with

exercise or meditations or breathing or taking a walk in nature or putting on your headphones and listening to music, that dialing down is very, very, very important.
