0:00.0	Welcome to Nobody Told Me. I'm Laura Owens. And I'm Jan Black. And on this episode, we're talking all about your heart with our guest, cardiologist and bestselling author,
0:21.4	Dr. Sanjeepe Jahar. Among other things, he's the author of the book, Heart, a history,
0:26.7	and the presenter of an incredibly popular TED talk called How Your Emotions Change the Shape of
0:33.6	Your Heart. Dr. We thank you so much for joining us. Thank you for having me.
0:38.0	Tell us why you decided to become a cardiologist. I mean, that's such a tough feel to get into.
0:44.8	Yeah, I mean, so there's a couple of reasons. Probably the strongest is that I have a very strong,
0:51.4	you know, malignant family history of heart disease. My paternal grandfather died

1:44.5	could be healthy like my grandfather and die. That just seemed like such a cheat by nature or God,
1:54.2	you know, that there's no warning and you could just die suddenly. And the fact remains that
2:00.1	the heart is the only organ that can
2:02.0	facilitate a sudden death, sudden in the matter of, you know, seconds to minutes. And I just
2:08.7	remember finding that just so profound. And it just put a kind of terror in me that led to sort of an
2:15.9	obsession about the heart and how it worked. And then that
2:18.6	sort of obsession led to, you know, understanding how powerful and special the heart is as a machine.
