The 15 Minute Heart Cure shows how stress can harm our cardiovascular system and offers practical, easy ways to dispel stress naturally, without spending a lot of time or money.

It explains the stress and heart disease connection for the four major types of heart disease, heart attack, arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, and cardiac valve disease, and equips you with Dr. Kennedy's proven BREATHE technique to help you stop stress in its tracks. It includes specific stress-reducing breathing and guided imagery exercises you can do anywhere, anytime, along with real-life case examples from his clinical experience.

Heart disease remains the number one killer of men and women in the U.S., claiming nearly one million lives each year. Our supercharged modern lifestyle can still damage our hearts and put us in danger of cardiovascular events. The good news is that, in most cases, optimal heart health can be achieved without a prescription. Reversing and ultimately preventing heart disease requires a long-term, sustainable approach.

In The Heart Health Bible, Dr. Kennedy draws on more than twenty years of experience as a preventive and interventional cardiologist to offer an empowering approach to heart health with H-E-A-R-T, a five-point plan to lower your risk of cardiovascular disease. Heal your blood pressure. Energize your heart. Act on fat. Reduce blood sugar. Tackle triglycerides. The book also includes Dr. Kennedy's 5-for-1 Diet, with heart-healthy foods and recipes, and a plan to help parents start their kids on a heart-healthy lifestyle.

An illustrated e-book that teaches grade school kids about the heart and brain connection and how stressful events can affect their bodies. Using the jump rope as a metaphor for how the brain creates a physiologic response in the heart and body, it gives kids an accessible way to learn to exercise control over their body's response to stress and anxiety.

The book shares the BREATHE technique as a seven-step, kid-friendly template for some of the most common stressful triggers in a child's life, from test taking and public speaking to sports and social pressure, with guidance on what to visualize, focused controlled breathing, and positive self-talk.
