We’re so glad you asked. The Iheart device and family of apps is a holistic approach to health that centers around internal mobility. In a nutshell, internal mobility describes the flexibility and ease of movement in areas like spine, ribcage, diaphragm. This is vital to overall health, as good internal mobility promotes the healthy exchange of nutrients throughout the body, internal organs, and brain – something you cannot live without.

Great question. The aorta is the primary artery that carries nutrient-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. As you age – or in the case of chronic disease, stress, and poor lifestyle choices – your aorta stiffens over time. This stiffness disrupts the carefully-timed flow of nutrients and oxygen, leading to negative consequences like early congestive heart failure and cell death in your brain. In fact, aortic stiffness has been shown time and time again to be a proven risk factor for all biological causes of death.
