The HEART Framework for Root-Cause Cardiology

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj about his shift from interventional cardiology to integrative, root-cause care. We explore why controlled cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar may not reveal every driver of cardiovascular disease, and how his HEART framework considers hormones, energy, autonomic health, rest and repair, toxins, and trauma. We also discuss thoughtful medication de-escalation, realistic lifestyle steps, and why listening can be therapeutic. - - - - - About the Guest: Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj, MD, FACC, IFMCP, is a board-certified interventional cardiologist, functional medicine practitioner, and healthspan innovator. After more than two decades in traditional cardiology, he shifted his focus from managing cardiovascular events to exploring the lifestyle, metabolic, emotional, and environmental factors influencing heart health.
