Beyond the standard cardiac rehab and basic and superficial attention, this supported deep dive into your heart’s story, potential and vision will open you to a new frontier

8 Week Program 

A fuller way to think about heart health

Over six weeks, we will look at the heart from several angles: the physical heart that benefits from movement and healthy daily habits; the emotional heart shaped by stress, courage, grief, and resilience; the relational heart that needs belonging and connection; and the part of us that looks for meaning, gratitude, purpose, and peace.
The goal is not perfection. It is to leave with practical tools and a personal rhythm you can actually carry into everyday life.

The program

Our 8-Week Journey

Week 1
A New Way to Think About Heart Health

A new and different approach to heart health

Week 2
Food That Loves Your Heart

We separate useful nutrition principles from noise and perfectionism. We will talk about whole foods, fiber, healthy fats, protein, sugar, ultra-processed foods, mindful eating, and realistic ways to make nourishing choices in daily life.

Week 3
Movement: The Original Medicine

We explore walking, strength, balance, mobility, recovery, and how to build movement into everyday life without turning it into punishment. The aim is consistency, confidence, and a form of movement you can enjoy.

Week 4
Stress, Peace, and the Healing Heart

We look at stress physiology, sleep, recovery, and the role of the nervous system. You will practice simple ways to slow down, breathe, recover, and create small rituals that make more room for peace.

Week 5
Relationships, Purpose, and Joy

Heart health does not happen in isolation. We explore loneliness, friendship, love, forgiveness, gratitude, service, and purpose - and how connection can shape the way we feel and live.

Week 6
Your Heart Health for Life

We bring the pieces together into a personal Better Together Heart Plan: movement, nourishment, sleep, stress regulation, relationships, purpose, service, and the small commitments that feel sustainable for you.

Week 7
A New Way to Think About Heart Health

We begin with the foundations: blood pressure, blood sugar, inflammation, sleep, nutrition, movement, stress, relationships, and the difference between knowing what matters and living it. You will identify what matters most to you and begin with simple movement and breathing practices.

Week 8
Food That Loves Your Heart

We separate useful nutrition principles from noise and perfectionism. We will talk about whole foods, fiber, healthy fats, protein, sugar, ultra-processed foods, mindful eating, and realistic ways to make nourishing choices in daily life.
