Book Club: Just One Heart:
A Cardiologist’s Guide to Healing, Health, and Happiness
In Just One Heart, Dr. Jonathan Fisher, a Harvard-trained cardiologist and mindfulness teacher, offers an evidence-based guide to wholehearted living, grounded in the latest research from medicine, psychology, and neuroscience.

Heart Health Starts at Home
Small, daily habits can make a big difference for your heart. For seniors and individuals managing chronic conditions, heart health is closely tied to routine, support, and consistency. Home care services can help by encouraging regular movement, preparing heart-healthy meals, supporting medication adherence, and reducing stress through companionship and daily assistance. Even gentle activities like short walks, light stretching, and balanced nutrition can improve circulation and lower cardiovascular risk. With the right support at home, individuals can maintain independence while creating a safer, healthier environment that supports long-term heart health and overall well-being.

Reflexology for a Healthy Heart
Reflexology is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that involves applying targeted pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, or ears, which correspond to different systems within the body. In relation to heart health, reflexology helps support healthy circulation, encourage deep relaxation, and reduce stress which are key factors in maintaining cardiovascular wellbeing. Prolonged stress is known to contribute to high blood pressure and increased strain on the heart. By calming the nervous system, reflexology promotes relaxation and may support healthier heart rhythms. Regular sessions may help ease tension, improve sleep quality, and support the body’s natural ability to restore balance and overall well being.
The Heart–Movement Connection
Heart Health Month is a reminder that cardiovascular health is closely linked to how we move – or don’t move – each day. Prolonged sitting, poor posture, and unresolved pain can limit activity levels, placing added strain on the heart over time. Physiotherapy plays an important role in addressing these barriers by improving mobility, strength, balance, and confidence in movement. This February, understanding the connection between pain-free movement and heart health can empower individuals to make changes that benefit not only their joints and muscles, but their cardiovascular system as well.
