In this episode, Dr. Stephen Hussey, a Chiropractor and Functional Medicine practitioner, delves into the heart’s connection to the body’s collagen network and emotional health. He uncovers the true root causes of cardiovascular disease and shares practical ways to support heart health and improve overall well-being.
