Introduction to Heart and Mind Therapy Groups

Heart disease is prevalent in our society and continues to be the largest single cause of death in America. For every 1 in 3 people, their 1st cardiac symptom is their last because they fail to survive. As one of those who did survive, I have a wealth of information to share with those who are aware of a family history of heart disease, those who want to alter its progression and prevent a cardiac event. This seminar will explore the efficacy of recent advances in early detection and diagnosis, discuss the research in terms you can understand, and provide a clear direction for proactive steps you can take right now to modify your risk factors, address those psychosocial factors in your life that contribute to the disease, and show how you can improve relationships all at the same time. Here’s to your health! I hope to see you there!
