Renowned cardiologist Dr. Holly S. Andersen joins Cathy O’Brien on Inside the Wellspace to expose the hidden crisis of heart disease in women. Despite being the leading cause of death, it’s often overlooked—especially in younger women.

Dr. Andersen, an Attending Cardiologist at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell and Director of Education at the Perelman Heart Institute, breaks down the biggest risk factors—like stress, sleep, and belly fat—and shares practical steps for prevention.
