In today’s minisode, Dhru discusses the lessons he’s learned on his heart health journey and the critical role our endothelial health plays in our risk for heart disease. He shares what damages the endothelial lining, which coats the inside of over 60,000 miles of blood vessels, and how you can strengthen it by supporting your mitochondria, circadian rhythm, sleep, and more.
