Stop Blaming Cholesterol: The Real Reason Women Over 40 Are Having Heart Attacks
In this empowering episode, I break down the surprising truth behind why heart disease is the #1 killer of women—and why cholesterol isn't the villain we've been told it is. From estrogen loss and inflammation to gut health and liver overload, I unpack how our bodies change in midlife and what we can do to take back control.
You'll learn how symptoms like fatigue, varicose veins, and even mood swings can be early warning signs of cardiovascular dysfunction—and how healing your gut, loving your liver, and building muscle can completely transform your risk. If you're over 40, navigating perimenopause or menopause, and wondering why you suddenly feel off—this is your wake-up call to start nourishing your body like it deserves.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
