The Hidden Cardiovascular Toll of Fast-Paced Lives and High-Stress Careers

Svetlana Chamoun, MD, Ph.D, DipABLM

 This episode uncovers the often-overlooked cardiovascular consequences of chronic stress, especially among women physicians. 

Dr. Svetlana Chamoun explores the physiological impact of emotional exhaustion, night shifts, and high-demand, low-control work environments—factors that disproportionately affect women in healthcare. 

Citing powerful evidence from Circulation, JAMA, and Journal of Women’s Health, she lays out the link between burnout and heart disease, and offers five actionable, science-backed strategies to protect your cardiovascular health. A heartfelt call to slow down, reconnect, and listen to what your heart is telling you.
