About this episode
Dr. Christopher Davis discusses the increased risk of heart disease in women after 40 and the factors contributing to it.
Today, I am honored to welcome Dr. Christopher Davis, a triple-board-certified physician in internal medicine, cardiology, and interventional cardiology, as well as a specialist in functional and regenerative medicine. He is also the Chief Cardiologist at Humann, a science-backed, plant-based heart health supplements company. In our discussion, Dr Davis and I explore why women’s risk for heart disease accelerates after 40, how women’s physiology and anatomy make them more prone to small vessel disease, the challenges of our current medical model, and the impact of toxins. Dr. Davis shares the labs and imaging modalities he prefers, and highlights the need for personalized medicine. We examine cardiomyopathies in women, where takotsubo or broken heart syndrome originates, and how declining nitric oxide production during perimenopause and menopause affects vascular health.

Today’s discussion is a must-listen for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of women’s heart health in middle age. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why…
