Dr. Tara Narula in Conversation with Rebecca Jarvis on The Healing Power of Resilience: A New Prescription for Health and Well-Being

May 27, 2026

Join Spark Your Health and ABC News chief medical correspondent and board-certified cardiologist Dr. Tara Narula for an inspiring conversation about her groundbreaking book, The Healing Power of Resilience — a science-backed guide to strengthening the connection between mental and physical health and transforming the way we approach healing and well-being.

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, and while treatment often focuses on medication, surgery, diet, and exercise, one powerful tool is frequently overlooked: resilience. In this eye-opening discussion with ABC News’ chief business, technology and economics correspondent and GMA contributing anchor, Rebecca Jarvis, Dr. Narula will explore how resilience helps patients face diagnoses, navigate treatment, recover from procedures, and sustain meaningful lifestyle change — and why it may be one of the most important factors in long-term health.

Drawing on decades of experience as both a cardiologist and medical journalist, Dr. Narula shares insights from landmark research, patient stories, and conversations with leading experts to reveal how cultivating what she calls the “Resilience Response” can reduce stress, promote healing, and improve quality of life at any stage.

As we honor National Mental Health Awareness Month, attendees will learn practical strategies to:

  • Develop a flexible, resilient mindset
  • Navigate health challenges with confidence and clarity
  • Strengthen motivation and purpose in midlife and beyond
  • Build supportive connections and emotional strength
  • Create lasting lifestyle changes that support lifelong wellness

Whether you’re facing a medical challenge, supporting a loved one, or simply looking to live with greater strength and intention, this conversation offers a powerful new framework for thriving — physically, mentally, and emotionally.
