If we ask a room full of women what their greatest health risk is they either can’t answer, or answer breast cancer.
If we ask people what a typical heart patient looks like, they often have an immediate vision of a man.
If we cram women’s health into a 7-minute health appointment, we probably aren’t asking her about her pregnancy history.
This, is the bad news of women’s heart health.
The good news is, we can change your path. If you listen to this conversation.
Heart health is a woman’s number one health risk, and oftentimes, she’s carrying around sex-specific risk factors (like pregnancy history) that influence her status. In this episode, I’m joined by Cardiac Nurse and Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Olivia Greenspan who shares her experience on both ends of the spectrum, and why she’s so passionate about teaching you the basics about heart health.
We cover the risk factors nobody has asked you about, how to approach your health care appointments and why you need to start making changes today.
Olivia practices in Ontario and you can find her on her website or on Instagram where she shares practical and pragmatic advice about women’s heart health, especially around menopause.
