It's a given that diet and lifestyle affect heart health. But recent studies show that your emotions as well as Mind-body practices such as guided imagery and meditation have an equally powerful influence. Now, Dr. Andrew Weil presents a comprehensive approach to optimum heart health, with The Healthy Heart Kit.

Featuring medical experts Stephen Devries, M.D. (a pioneering preventive cardiologist specializing in integrative approaches to heart health), Erin Olivo, Ph.D. (clinical psychologist and director of the Integrative Medicine Program at Columbia University), and Martin L. Rossman, M.D. (founder of The Healing Mind and a leader in the therapeutic use of guided imagery), The Healthy Heart Kit offers a truly comprehensive action plan for lifelong wellness that includes:

Dr. Weil's Anti-inflammatory diet, emphasizing omega 3-rich foods, healthy carbohydrate choices, and delicious variety

New advances for heart health by Dr. Devries, integrating the latest science with an emphasis on natural approaches

Dr. Olivo's best exercises for optimizing the nervous system--mindfulness, stress release, and lovingkindness

Guided imagery--proven medically effective in study after study--in a 30-minute healing session with Dr. Rossman

Combining all these strategies in one convenient program, including a 56-page workbook and 25 useful heart-habit cards, provides an excellent way to begin a lifelong regimen for heart health.
