This week on Mojo Monday, Carly shares practical tips to help you tackle feelings of overwhelm. She explains how our language can either exacerbate or alleviate stress, and suggests reframing our thoughts to create a sense of structure and control. Carly also introduces the Pomodoro technique, a time-blocking method that combines focused work with regular movement breaks to boost productivity and energy. By implementing these strategies, you'll learn to work effectively alongside your emotions, rather than getting caught up in them.

In this episode, Dr. John Osborne, a renowned preventative cardiologist, joins me to discuss the intricacies of heart health. We delve into heart anatomy, common cardiovascular issues, and the role of cholesterol and plaque in heart disease. Dr. Osborne explains the limitations of traditional diagnostic methods and highlights the advantages of advanced imaging techniques like cardiac CT. The conversation also covers valve disorders, treatment options, and the future of cardiology with AI and advanced imaging.

Key Takeaways:
We literally have the cure for heart disease.
We don't look for the cancer early.
Waiting for symptoms is detrimental to health.
Chest pain is a late indicator of heart disease.
Stage 4 cancer is akin to late-stage heart disease.
Early detection can save lives.
Proactive healthcare is essential.
Medical research has advanced significantly.
Awareness of symptoms is crucial.
Preventative measures can lead to better outcomes.
