Unlocking Resilience: Introducing HeartMath for Stress Management at DOPC
We’re thrilled to announce the pilot launch of HeartMath, a powerful stress management program now available at Direct Osteopathic Primary Care (DOPC). This innovative offering is designed to help you build real mental and emotional resilience using science-backed techniques and state-of-the-art biofeedback tools.
The Science Behind HeartMath: Your Heart Talks to Your Brain
Did you know your heart communicates with your brain more than your brain communicates with your heart?
Your heart contains over 40,000 nerve cells, forming its own internal nervous system that sends powerful signals to the brain especially through the vagus nerve, a major component of your body’s autonomic nervous system. In fact, about 80% of the vagus nerve’s fibers carry signals from the heart up to the brain, not the other way around!
This means your emotional states directly influence your heart rhythms, which in turn affect brain function, mood, and resilience.

…our heart signals the body to ramp up sympathetic nervous system activity triggering that "fight-or-flight" response and draining our energy. These are called “depleting emotions.”

- Anger
- Frustration
- Anxiety
- Irritability
- Fear
- Negative self-talk
