On this episode, Neurologist Kristen Dams-O'Connor, PhD, and domestic abuse survivor Elizabeth DeJesus discuss the effects of domestic violence — and how to rebuild a purposeful life in its aftermath.

Recuperating from a heart attack, for example, requires modification of both medicine and lifestyle—and emotional resilience. The same goes for mitral valve prolapse, a heart disease that affects millions globally and for which Dr. Miller and his team are pioneering new research.
