Keynote: SELFISH: A Cure for a Broken Heart
The past decade has revealed a tenfold increase in broken heart syndrome among middle-aged and older women. Broken heart syndrome, also known as stress-induced cardiomyopathy, is a potentially fatal heart condition that is brought on by stress. The rise in this condition is no surprise, as researchers have reported that stress in America, as well as globally, is at an all-time high. It is estimated up to 90% of all doctor visits are for stress-related ailments and complaints. Despite this fact, little is known about stress management counseling within primary care.
In this session, Dr. Columbus Batiste, the “Healthy Heart Doc,” writes a prescription for you to be SELFISH. Through this session, you will learn about the effects of stress on disease, while understanding the seven transformative principles of the acronym SELFISH.
SELFISH: The Key to Combating a Stressed Heart
The CDC reports nearly 50% of Americans take at least one prescription medication. The most-commonly-prescribed medications are for depression and cholesterol, yet only 23% of Americans embrace a time-proven therapy that can aid in the intersection of mental health and chronic disease. What is that therapy? Exercise! Surveys of Americans report they do not exercise primarily because of time and stress. In this session, Dr. Columbus Batiste dives into the exercise principle from SELFISH to reveal how exercising can create more time in your life; simultaneously decreasing your stress and chronic disease while helping you achieve your goals!
SELFISH: Conquer Nutrition With SELFISH Eating Habits

While it may be obvious that stress leads to poor nutrition, researchers have revealed another adverse relationship between fast food consumption and mental health. In this session, Dr. Columbus Batiste delves into the food principle from SELFISH to explore how nutritional stress can lead to a broken heart and how nutritional resiliency has the power to heal.
