Welcome to "Seeking Voices: Exploring the Science of Health and Healing". I am your host, Dr. Monica Aggarwal. I am a preventive cardiologist who focuses on nutrition and lifestyle to heal illness. I also have a chronic illness.

Over the years, as a nutrition specialist, as a cardiologist and as a patient, I have met so many people who feel sad, stuck, hopeless and confused. There are so many people looking to understand their lives, their purpose, the meaning of things and they are struggling. We are struggling as a society, as humans, as women, as moms, as patients, as husbands, as children.

I wanted to start this podcast to bring voices to people of hope, health and healing but also to share how people have overcome their sadness, their struggles, their pain. I think we have so much to learn from each other—not always from people in the limelight; but sometimes from the people around us living the day to day, drudging through, overcoming and being. I hope that this podcast makes people consider others more deeply, considers themselves more importantly and reminds us all to have hope, and look for the joy and happiness in the day to day. This is my hope.
