| 0:02.0 | Thank you. You know, You know, Thank you. You know, You know, Thank you. Hi, Sarah. Thank you so much for joining us here today. I am so excited to chat with you. |
| 3:00.3 | Hi. Thank you for having me. So I really loved this approach that you have in your new book. And the reason I was so drawn to you, |
| 3:10.7 | I had this sort of label that I made up in my head as a holistic cardiologist. You're working |
| 3:18.8 | with a heart, but there's chapters in your new book about love and about purpose. And the heart is of particular |
| 3:28.1 | significance to me, Tara. My last book was also about the heart. It was about the science of heart |

| 4:25.5 | its ability to really sustain injury, but continue to pump. It has an electrical system and the valves and the arteries |
