About this episode
Heartbreak doesn’t just hurt your emotions—it changes your body. Research shows that grief and loss can raise inflammation, weaken immunity, and even trigger a temporary heart condition known as “broken heart syndrome.” In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe breaks down what’s really happening inside your brain and body during heartbreak, and the proven ways to heal emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
