Sleep isn't just about feeling rested.
It's about your heart.
To close out American Heart Month, we're diving into one of the most overlooked drivers of cardiovascular disease: poor sleep.
On this episode of The Heart of Innovation, hosts Kym McNicholas and Dr. John Phillips explore:
• Why sleep deprivation increases your risk of heart attack and stroke • The connection between sleep, vascular inflammation, and blood pressure • How disrupted sleep affects circulation and long-term cardiovascular health
And then we introduce you to one of the most fascinating innovators in health tech today.
Meredith Perry, Founder & CEO of Elemind, has developed a groundbreaking, non-pharmaceutical approach designed to help you fall asleep faster by interacting directly with brainwave activity. Instead of pills, sedation, or habit-forming medications, her technology aims to gently guide your brain into sleep.
She's even tested it publicly through her bold "Sleeping with the CEO" campaign — putting strangers to sleep on the streets of New York, on trains, and even on planes.
This isn't a gimmick. It's a conversation about the future of sleep, brain science, and cardiovascular prevention.
If you struggle with: • Insomnia • Racing thoughts at night • High blood pressure • Stress-related sleep issues • Cardiovascular risk factors
This episode is for you.
Because heart health doesn't start in the cath lab.
It starts at night.
