Dr. Flora welcomes renowned cardiologist Dr. Purvi Parwani, director of the Women's Heart Clinic at Loma Linda University Health, for a deep dive into the often-misunderstood realm of women's cardiac health.
They tackle the critical issue of how medical research, historically based on men, has often overlooked women's unique cardiac physiology and disease presentation.
Dr. Parwani sheds light on the subtle ways women experience heart attacks and the biases that can lead to delayed diagnosis. They also delve into the significant impact of perimenopause and menopause on heart disease risk, stressing the importance of preventive care.
If you are someone who needs actionable advice on nutrition, exercise, and how to empower yourself in the medical space... this one is for you!
