Description

We haven’t talked about heart health on the podcast in a while, but this is an incredibly important topic for women! Board-certified cardiologist Dr. Jack Wolfson joins me today to talk about how nutrition, lifestyle, and supplements can help protect and improve long-term cardiac health.
During our interview, we bust some common myths and misconceptions like the dangers of saturated fat, the role of cholesterol, and whether young people or women need to worry about heart health. Most importantly, we discuss ways (some of them very easy!) that can reduce your risk of certain problems by as much as 70 to 80%.
Without further ado, here we go!
