How a Simple Mindset Shift Can Reduce the Risk of Heart Disease and Improve Overall Health | Dr. Tara Narula

A smarter way to think about disease prevention.

Dr. Tara Narula is a board-certified cardiologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan and Chief Medical Correspondent for ABC News. Her new book is The Healing Power of Resilience: A New Prescription for Health and Well-Being.

In this episode we talk about:

• What resilience really is, why most of us already have it, and how it can be strengthened
• The overlooked link between mental health, physical health, and recovery from illness
• Why mindset and acceptance matter as much as medical treatment when facing health challenges
• How resilience applies to major life changes, trauma, and chronic disease.
• Practical psychological tools for working with anxiety, fear, and repetitive thought patterns
• Why flexible thinking matters
• How to adapt when life doesn't go according to plan
• How beliefs, mindset, and the mind–body connection shape stress, healing, and resilience
• Why movement, sleep, and facing fear are essential ingredients in building real resilience
• How reframing identity can help people move forward after illness, trauma, or loss
• Why connection, love, and small acts of kindness are powerful  and underused medicine
• How hope, faith, and purpose shape resilience, healing, and long-term health
