Howard Martin is the Executive Vice President of HeartMath® LLC, an organization devoted to teaching a practical, ten-step method for harnessing the heart’s intelligence. Martin has made a fascinating correlation between our heart’s rhythm and our emotions. A fast incoherent rhythm may stimulate an emotion of anxiety, fear or anger. Emotions directly relate to our ability to accomplish goals. If our goal is to lose weight, the way we respond to food, if based on an irrational feeling, can seriously sabotage our well intended weight loss efforts. Harnessing the power of emotions is a key and often overlooked aspect of a successful effort to attain our desired weight. Co-author of The HeartMath Solution, along with the method’s founder Doc Childre, Martin acts as its key spokesperson and has conducted nationwide training sessions for Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, school systems and religious organizations. A former professional drummer, Martin recently used his musical talent to co-produce Childre’s award-winning recording, Heart Zones, which spent 50 consecutive weeks on Billboard Magazine’s charts. Martin has been interviewed by numerous programs and publications including CNN, Inside Edition, the A&E Channel, the Discovery Channel, New York Newsday, and US News and World Report.
