She also has a strong desire to change the way we think about health.

Dr Stamp will be at The Ashby Bar and Bistro from 6pm on July 10 to celebrate her new book Can You Die of a Broken Heart?, which explores how emotions and lifestyle affect the heart.

When actress Debbie Reynolds died a day after her beloved daughter Carrie Fisher the world diagnosed it as heartbreak.

But what’s the evidence?

Does emotional upheaval affect the heart?

Can love or chocolate really heal our heart problems?

And why do we know so much about heart attacks in men, when they are more fatal in women?

Copies of the book will be available to buy and have signed.

Tickets are $7 from www.trybooking.com/372921.
