Optimal Heart Health Through Lifestyle, Labs & Mindset with Dr. Jack Wolfson, DO

In this episode of the Vibrant Wellness Podcast, Dr. Brooke Stubbs welcomes Dr. Jack Wolfson, a board-certified cardiologist who left the conventional medical system to pioneer a natural, root-cause approach to heart health. Dr. Wolfson combines ancestral wisdom with modern testing to examine not just symptoms, but the whole picture of health. From heart disease to energy, mindset, and parenting, this conversation encourages us to rethink everything we assume about health and healing.

Dr. Wolfson’s journey from conventional cardiology to root-cause medicine began when his own father became ill with no clear answers from top institutions. A chance encounter with a chiropractor, who later became his wife, sparked a profound shift in perspective. Today, Dr. Wolfson runs Natural Heart Doctor, where he helps patients reverse and prevent heart disease by addressing environmental toxins, optimizing nutrition, improving sleep and mindset, and restoring gut and mitochondrial health. 

In addition to clinical tools, Dr. Wolfson emphasizes foundational practices: organic food, circadian rhythm alignment, meaningful relationships, and a low-toxin environment. He and his family live out these principles through spiritual grounding and a deep connection to nature. His mission is clear: restore the body by removing obstacles to health and return to the rhythms our ancestors thrived on. This episode is both a science-backed guide and a lifestyle manifesto for anyone ready to shift from passive treatment to empowered prevention.
