When stress is high, and the future feels uncertain, how do you make good decisions—at work, in your relationships, or in everyday life? This captivating episode explores a practical, science-based way to stay clear and grounded when it matters most.

HeartMath CEO Deborah Rozman has an intriguing conversation with Amy VaaS, former Global Well-Being Leader at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), who helped bring HeartMath’s heart coherence practices into high-pressure, highly analytical environments, including cybersecurity and risk teams. Amy shares how she moved from focusing only on the brain and neuroscience to realizing that the missing piece was the state of the heart—directly affecting clarity, judgment, communication, and how we show up under stress and overload.

Hear Amy’s real-world stories of how science-based heart coherence practices helped:

• Leaders and teams think more clearly, listen better, and make better decisions even in challenging conversations.
• Teams, under intense pressure to shorten meetings, reduce reactivity, and become “the calm in the storm” for their clients and colleagues.
• People experience improved sleep, feel more emotionally regulated in daily life, and know how to reset their nervous system quickly.

Amy also shares how she now works through her new venture, VAAS Solutions, integrating heart coherence into leadership advising, team effectiveness, and organizational culture—so performance, resilience, and well-being all rise together instead of competing with each other. Her insightful examples reveal how small, consistent coherence practices can quietly transform how leaders, teams, and individuals operate.

Whether you’re a long-time HeartMath fan or completely new to heart coherence, this engaging episode will give you a deeper understanding of why being in a coherent heart state is not just a “nice-to-have wellness perk,” but a practical, repeatable skill for making better decisions under stress in any area of life.

The episode closes with a practical guided heart-focused meditation led by Deborah to help you practice heart coherence for yourself—so you can bring more calm, clarity, and heart into your work, your family, your health, and the everyday decisions that shape your life.

What if memory loss and cognitive decline aren’t the inevitable parts of aging we’ve been led to believe?

In this episode, our guest is psychiatrist and clinical researcher Dr. Kat Toups, a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, who shares hopeful, research-based insights that are reshaping how we understand brain aging and Alzheimer’s disease.

For decades, most Alzheimer’s clinical trials have focused on single solutions—usually drugs—targeting one aspect of the disease. Despite massive investment, these approaches have delivered limited results. Dr. Toups explains why this one-size-fits-all model often falls short: Cognitive decline rarely has a single cause.

Drawing from recent proof-of-concept and randomized controlled trials, Dr. Toups shares with host Deborah Rozman compelling evidence that a personalized, precision-medicine approach—addressing multiple contributors at once—leads to meaningful improvements in memory, thinking speed, and overall brain function, even in people with mild cognitive impairment and early-stage dementia. 

In her soon-to-be-published paper, titled Precision Medicine Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease: Successful Randomized Controlled Trial, Dr. Toups shares striking patient outcomes achieved through a whole-person approach that included nutrition, exercise, quality sleep, brain training, and stress management. For the stress reduction intervention, the study incorporated heart rhythm coherence biofeedback and a coherence training technique developed by HeartMath that participants practiced for 10 minutes per day. Dr. Toups selected this for ease of use and high consistency of practice among elderly participants—important factors for long-term adherence and achieving significant outcomes.

This episode also brings a deeply human perspective, as Dr. Toups shares her own recovery story from cognitive impairment. At the heart of this conversation is a message listeners rarely hear: Brain aging is not necessarily a one-way path. With this new protocol and early action, protecting—and even restoring—brain health appears far more possible than previously thought.

This episode offers clarity and hope for individuals and families navigating concerns about memory loss, Alzheimer’s, and brain health as we age.

About our guest: 

Kat Toups, MD, DFAPA, IFMCP, is a distinguished functional medicine psychiatrist, clinical researcher, and thought leader in the field of cognitive health. 

She collaborated with Dr. Dale Bredesen as the principal investigator on two successful multi-modal precision medicine clinical trials to reverse cognitive decline in patients with mild cognitive impairment and early Alzheimer’s disease. With decades of clinical and research experience, Dr. Toups combines psychiatry, functional medicine, and cutting-edge research to uncover and address the root causes of cognitive decline. Her innovative, personalized approach has made her a sought-after speaker, educator, and mentor in the Alzheimer’s and dementia prevention community.

In this timely and thought-provoking conversation, Add Heart host Deborah Rozman sits down with Nipun Mehta, founder of ServiceSpace, a global organization run entirely by volunteers, to explore why heart intelligence, intuition, and inner wisdom are essential in the age of artificial intelligence. Together, they address a question rarely explored in mainstream AI discussions: How do wisdom, spirituality, and ethical discernment sit at the same table as AI?

Nipun offers a grounded perspective—we don’t have to outsource our humanity. AI is a powerful tool, but it was never meant to replace human connection, moral clarity, creativity, or the intelligence of the heart.

This episode explores how we can use heart-based tools to help us navigate an evolving AI landscape that often creates misinformation and concern, along with the superpowers of analysis and creativity. By engaging our heart’s intelligent inner capacities, we can and must learn to use AI consciously and responsibly.

Nipun stresses the importance of human connection and accessing a deeper heart intelligence that’s not just individual, but is also a collective heart intelligence. He shares how combining our inner values and strengths with advancing technology can lead to a more heart-connected and intelligent world where all can thrive. Nipun draws from ServiceSpace’s decades of cultivating generosity and introduces Awaken AI, an initiative he describes as “Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern AI.”

The episode concludes with a brief, guided heart meditation led by Deborah, offering listeners space to integrate insight, clarity, and heart coherence.

About our guest: 

Nipun Mehta is the founder of ServiceSpace, a global community working at the intersection of technology, volunteerism, and a gift culture. As a designer of large-scale social movements that are rooted in small acts of service and powered by micro moments of inner transformation, his work has uniquely catalyzed networks of community builders grounded in their localities and rooted in cultivating deeper connection—with themselves, others, and larger systems. Today, ServiceSpace reaches millions every month, is powered by thousands of volunteers, and blossoms into ever-expanding local and virtual service projects that aim to ignite a “whole greater than the sum of its parts.” Nipun was honored as an “unsung hero of compassion” by the Dalai Lama, not long before former US President Obama appointed him to a council for addressing poverty and inequality in the US. Standing at the crossroads of algorithmic intelligence, evolutionary insight, and collective social emergence, Nipun continues to illuminate new pathways for ancient wisdom to find creative expressions in a modern world.

Love isn’t just something you feel—it’s an energy you can work with. Your heart already contains everything you need to heal. The missing piece is learning you’re not the wound, you are the healer—you just need to learn how to direct your heart’s energy.

In this illuminating conversation, HeartMath’s Deborah Rozman sits down with Danielle LaPorte—bestselling author of The Desire Map and How to Be Loving, host of the With Love, Danielle podcast, and a member of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100.

Together, they explore love as a state of consciousness and a reservoir of healing energy. They break down how your heart’s energy can help shift emotional patterns, soothe burnout, interrupt looping stories, and re-regulate your nervous system. Instead of simply coping, they invite you to work with your heart’s energy as a powerful tool for emotional and energetic healing and transformation—in real time.

Everything changes when you realize you’re the healer.Danielle discusses how she uses the love energy of the heart to heal the wounds of unresolved thoughts and emotions. She explains and emphasises why having simple daily practices is essential for staying aligned with your integrity and “resetting” your inner world. 

Danielle and Deborah help us understand how we can learn to distinguish between ego-driven striving versus heart-centered goals that are spiritually efficient, inclusive, and synced with your higher guidance. 

Together they also unpack why heart–brain coherence and practical intuition are effective and grounded methods for accessing the power of love for healing, increasing clarity and resilience, and for spiritual growth.

Deborah closes this episode with a guided heart meditation—an invitation to access the healing power of love and heart energy to connect more with your heart’s guidance and direction for your life, your relationships, and add compassionate care to the global energetic field.

Ever wonder what happens to your physiology when gratitude goes deeper than just “thank you”? Discover a space where gratitude becomes an experience—an uplifting feeling, an intuitive compass, and an antidote to our anxious and fear-saturated world.

In this special Add Heart Podcast episode, Deborah Rozman sits down with acclaimed filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg, known for his amazing time-lapse photography (e.g., Fantastic Fungi), to explore what was behind his award-winning film, Gratitude Revealed.

Louie shares how growing up with parents who survived the Holocaust imprinted a lens of everyday thankfulness—roof, food, family—that later shaped four decades of storytelling focused on resilience, wonder, and joy, and culminated in Gratitude Revealed. He discovered how pausing for just a few minutes and finding things to be grateful for can quickly interrupt rumination and reopen your heart. 

You’ll hear from Louie how Gratitude Revealed weaves values like forgiveness, curiosity, creativity, and compassion into a living portrait of what it means to integrate awe into daily life. 

Louie introduces a captivating idea that is behind his next film, which will be about beauty. He sees beauty as a counterforce to the “attention battleground” going on in society today. When fear or anxiety hijacks our nervous system, beauty can meet it and help release it—by shifting us toward coherence, connection, and choices that make life flourish.

Deborah guides a brief heart-focused practice on gratitude that you can use anytime—which synchronizes heart, mind, and emotions to lift your vibration. 

In this episode, expect fresh, science-based insights (why gratitude builds resilience and bigger picture thinking), practical micro-moments of grateful experience you can have on a walk, and a renewed way of seeing life: from the light on a leaf to the miracle of your moving hands.

In this podcast, she talks about why the world needs a revolution of love. 

As a cardiologist, she explains how the toxic toll of stress is closing our hearts and silently eroding lifespans, yet traditional medicine often overlooks an important factor: our overwhelmed nervous systems that burden us with accumulated stress. Dr. Guarneri reveals how activating heart coherence can rebalance and stabilize the nervous system, leading to better health outcomes.

Excelling in a sport requires more than mastering the mechanics of the game; it requires heart. In this illuminating podcast episode, host Deborah Rozman connects with Pia Nilsson and Lynn Marriott, renowned golf coaches and co-founders of the acclaimed VISION54 golf school, to explore the transformative power of heart coherence in sports and in life. 

Since 1997, Pia and Lynn have been using HeartMath coherence tools in their coaching work to help talented golfers improve their game and grow as people.

Kindness isn’t just a feeling—it’s a practice, a gentle rhythm we can return to again and again with great benefit to ourselves and others. It asks so little from us yet gives so much, requiring only our intention and shaped by our thoughts, words, and actions. In this episode, we’re focusing on the power of kindness to transform lives. Did you know that one simple act of kindness can inspire five more acts of kindness? Imagine the ripple you can create just by making kindness a choice each day. 

Our host, Deborah Rozman, interviews Brooke Jones, Vice President of the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, which was born in the 1990s with the purpose of making kindness a norm. It was during a summer of violence when a reporter noted that people should stop reporting on “random acts of violence” and start practicing “random acts of kindness.” That started a movement to explore how small acts of kindness can lead to profound changes in individuals, communities, and even the world.

Brooke shares her personal journey—from overcoming a challenging childhood and postpartum depression to dedicating her life to spreading kindness and inspiring others to do the same. She reveals how moments of kindness and compassion from others shaped her path and inspired her to make kindness the cornerstone of her values. They discuss some of the science behind kindness, its measurable benefits for mental health, and how it can reduce stress hormones, foster connection, and even improve longevity.

This episode also highlights the growth of the kindness movement, including its impact on schools worldwide through structured programs that teach respect, inclusion, and care. Brooke offers practical ways we each can notice and nurture kindness in everyday life, reminding us that even the smallest gesture can inspire a chain reaction of goodwill by others.

Sharon is co-founder of the Insight Meditation Society, author of the bestselling Lovingkindness, and host of the Metta Hour podcast. 

Join Deborah and Sharon in this intriguing dialogue on how practicing loving-kindness can quickly improve our own lives and help society. They discuss how loving-kindness is an energetic antidote to fear that enhances intuition and our connection with others.

Deborah shares HeartMath’s scientific discovery on how loving-kindness practices increase coherence in the heart’s rhythmic beating pattern. This helps to regulate and balance the nervous system while synchronizing the heart and brain to expand perception.

Sharon shares that heart and mind are actually the same word in many Asian languages, challenging the Western concept of separation between the two. Both agree on the crucial need for humanity to unite, heart and mind, for people to be able to get along with each other — and that letting the mind lead without the heart has led to a growing divisiveness in society.

Together, Sharon and Deborah explore what is meant by “a heart as wide as the world,” emphasizing that opening our hearts to others is the foundation for our own happiness and for addressing life’s challenges with wisdom and compassion. This engaging conversation between these two experts in their fields offers hope and practical wisdom for navigating a complex world with more heart and effectiveness, leading to transformative outcomes.

In this episode, Rollin McCraty, HeartMath Institute director of research, and Deborah Rozman dive into the science of our interconnectivity and how this connection can lift humanity. 

They discuss groundbreaking research on heart coherence, where groups of people in different parts of the world had measurably synchronized heart rhythms when energetically connected in shared emotions like compassion, care, and kindness. 

McCraty and his research team have demonstrated that when individuals and groups of people radiate care and compassion, it not only enhances local and non-local energetic connection, it helps power up a broader spectrum of coherent love that can help uplift the world’s energetic field. This is how love can go viral.

This episode offers fascinating insights into how practicing heart coherence techniques can empower ourselves and each other to help elevate collective well-being, reduce separation, and contribute to humanity’s shift toward greater harmony. We are all important contributors to helping love go viral to transform our planet. 

The episode closes with a heart meditation led by host Deborah Rozman to help us increase our love radiation and add it to the planetary field environment. 

We hope you’ll join us for this inspiring conversation and learn how your heart’s power could be a catalyst for connection, healing, and a more unified world.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the constant barrage of distressing news? You’re not alone. In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Jorina Elbers, Director of the Trauma Recovery Project at the HeartMath Institute, sheds light on the hidden impact of secondary trauma — a crucial issue affecting many of us.

Secondary trauma occurs when we overload from exposure to traumatic events through graphic news, social media, and other people’s personal stories. Many of us are deeply impacted by trauma inputs every time we open our smartphones. The stress can take a toll, creating brain fog, emotional numbness, sleeplessness, and more — and we may not know we are struggling with secondary trauma. 

Like a circuit breaker pushed beyond its limits, Dr. Elbers explains how your mind and body can become overloaded from traumatic news. Join host Deborah Rozman and Dr. Elbers as they unpack how today’s constant influx of stress news is pushing people’s nervous system to the brink, leading to a range of physical and emotional symptoms.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to recognize signs of secondary trauma and gain invaluable insights on how to rebalance your nervous system and release cumulative stress. Discover how to read your body’s stress signals and ready yourself with techniques that go beyond surface-level symptom management.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the state of the world, as well as those supporting loved ones through difficult times. Dr. Elbers helps you see how you have more control over your well-being than you may have thought possible.

Tune in for an episode that offers hope and direction to help you move from nervous system dysregulation to regulation, empowerment, and healing.

As a special bonus, the episode concludes with a guided heart meditation, led by Deborah, that you can use anytime you start to feel overwhelmed and to help you regulate your nervous system.

In this episode, we explore the concept of surrender, and our guest, Kute Blackson, talks about the magic of true surrender to your own highest self. He passionately debunks myths about surrender, that it’s a sign of weakness or passivity. Instead, he reveals it as a powerful act of courage that can lead to extraordinary personal growth and fulfillment.

Kute is a celebrated transformational teacher and author of The Magic of Surrender: Finding the Courage to Let Go. He says that true surrender, as articulated by many sages, is not about surrendering to someone else or something outside of you. Rather, it involves releasing the attachments and desires dictated by the mind, personality, or ego.

Through his own stories and personal experience, Kute discovered that true surrender is releasing the illusion of control and allowing life to unfold in unexpected and beautiful ways.

Kute and host Deborah Rozman discuss how the process of surrender is about trusting our heart’s intuition and the guidance it offers. When we listen to the heart’s intelligent guidance, we are surrendering to something beyond the ego, and magic can unfold along with deeply fulfilling manifestations of what is possible.

Kute and Deborah talk about the importance of meeting ourselves with grace, ease, and compassion as we learn how to let go. When we live life motivated or driven by the grip of the ego, we tend to live a limited life. 

Kute’s profound wisdom and infectious enthusiasm will linger in your mind long after you finish listening to this episode. Listen in for an engaging and enlightening conversation as Kute shares insights about how we can each experience the magic of surrender. Prepare to be inspired!

The episode closes with a heart meditation, led by Deborah Rozman, to help us connect with our heart’s intelligence and ask what insights, nudges, and intuition it might want us to hear for our next step.

The world can feel so uncertain these days. The stress can leave us drained, worried, or even hopeless. But what if there is a healthier way to navigate through this?

This episode explores the power of empathy and compassion with Dr. Judith Orloff, a bestselling author and UCLA psychiatrist. Her book, The Genius of Empathy, explains how cultivating these heart qualities isn’t just noble; it’s a smart way to process our challenges.

Judith addresses important questions, like how can we begin to feel empathy for someone if we don’t like them. She and our host, Deborah Rozman, Ph.D., talk about the science of why empathy and compassion offer powerful healing effects and are regenerative for you, the people you interact with, as well as the greater world. 

They explain why compassion can be misunderstood as a cover-all word for pity, excessive worry, or unmanaged empathy when we get sucked into others’ problems and drain our energy. Many people listening will appreciate Judith and Deborah for addressing the question: how can we learn to have empathy without absorbing someone else’s pain? 

They also discuss how empathy and compassion work in tandem to combat polarization and blame. Judith and Deborah agree; it’s empathy and compassion that will finally bridge our societal divides and create real solutions. Hear what they say about this.

Loving ourselves can be one of the hardest things to do, and Matt shares how we can learn to dialogue with the parts of ourselves that don’t feel worthy of self-love and heal what we see in ourselves as bad, undesirable, or unworthy.

Matt suggests that when our ego plays less of a role in being in charge of what we love and don’t love, then love becomes how we deliver healing to interrupt and transform patterns.

Expanding on love as a transformative power, Matt and our host, Deborah Rozman, talk about how pain and suffering are a call for love and some of the intricacies of choosing love. They help us understand how we can still put love and care into action even when we don’t like or don’t agree with someone or something.

Matt and Deborah help us understand how love’s power to transform moves beyond the linear and rational mind that judges, and they encourage us to connect with our heart’s intuitive intelligence for guidance in putting love into action in our own lives. 

This episode closes with a heart meditation to help us deepen our love and compassionate latitude for ourselves and for others. We are all going through transitional times where old structures and beliefs are breaking down, and new possibilities and structures have yet to take place.

Kristina shares that the increased anxiety and depression that so many in the younger generations are experiencing these days stems, in part, from a disconnection with the heart. Many find themselves trapped in a state of hopelessness about their future, leading to loneliness and feelings of despair.

The discussion delves into the profound impact of stress on brain health and showcases the transformative potential lying within our very own hearts.

With wisdom and simplicity, he offers practical suggestions on unlocking these benefits and integrating them into our lives.

In this episode, our guest Dr. Tara Scott, known on Instagram and TikTok as the Hormone Guru and founder of Revitalize Medical Group, talks with our host Deborah Rozman, Ph.D., about the connection between today’s stress and hormones. She addresses important questions: Is stress accumulation contributing to hormonal imbalances and depression in teenage girls, infertility and menopausal problems in women, or causing low testosterone in men? Is there a link between stress and endocrine imbalances in insulin, glucose, thyroid, or cortisol levels? Should physicians do more to include stress assessments during hormone balance evaluations? 

Dr. Scott shares with us her answers to these questions and how she works with patients to get the right tools to help them rebalance their hormones. “Don’t wait until you’re having chronic health issues,” says Dr. Scott.

In this episode, our guest Neale Donald Walsch, globally acclaimed speaker and best-selling author of the Conversations with God book series, joins us for an extraordinary conversation about the heart. Neale and our host, Deborah Rozman, explore questions such as: What’s the difference between the heart and the soul? Is the heart the coupling between our human self and our soul self?

Neale describes people as 3-part beings: the mind, the body, and the soul. However, in this exploration, Neale and Deborah discuss the heart as part of this equation, and the conversation expands our understanding to include the energetic or spiritual heart — making us all 4-part beings. The heart is how we connect with something greater than ourselves.

As science is trying to better understand this connection, what we do know is that the body is a kind of receiver of energetic information. And at the core, it is the heart that is helping us to understand and decode the information we receive energetically — which we call the heart’s intuitive guidance. Since the heart is also capable of broadcasting energetic information, the question is asked, what information are we broadcasting and to whom? 

We broadcast our feelings and emotions through the heart’s energetic field. That’s how we pick up on each other’s vibes (vibrations). We broadcast higher heart feelings such as love, care, compassion, and kindness, as well as feelings of heartache, anxiety, fear, and resentment. 

To get our heart and mind aligned and receive intuitive guidance from soul/spirit/God, do we have to choose to open our hearts to love and care and have compassion for each other? This question is discussed, and the conversation wraps up with an exercise and a heart meditation we can each use to invite our mind to align more deeply with our heart and intuitive guidance.
