About this episode

The episode discusses the critical health risks women face, particularly cardiovascular disease, and features insights from Dr. Jaime Hope on prevention and awareness.

We talk a lot about cancer prevention, but are we paying enough attention to our heart and bone health? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Jaime Hope, a board-certified emergency medicine physician with more than 20 years of experience, to talk about the health risks women need to consider now, not years down the road. Dr. Hope and I dive into why cardiovascular disease is such a serious threat to women, why heart attack symptoms can look different in women than they do in men, and the warning signs you should never ignore. We also debunk some of the “heart-healthy” nutrition advice we’ve been given over the years, from low-fat diets to sugar, alcohol, processed foods, and more. We talk about the bloodwork women should be asking for beyond standard cholesterol tests, the role of advanced heart imaging, how menopause and hormone replacement therapy can affect cardiovascular health, and why sleep, stress, nutrition, and daily habits all play a role in protecting your heart.
