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.
