Friday, 15 August, 2025

In this episode, I’m talking about one of the most overlooked threats to women’s health—heart disease—and the powerful role estrogen plays in protecting your cardiovascular system. Most people think of estrogen in relation to hot flashes, mood swings, or bone health, but it also keeps your blood vessels healthy and your heart protected. When estrogen levels drop at menopause, that protection fades, and your risk for heart problems can rise quickly.I break down how estrogen impacts your blood vessels, why heart disease risk skyrockets after menopause, and the surprising reproductive and lifestyle factors that can raise your risk—many of which you’ve probably never heard about from your doctor. I’ll also share the simple, powerful steps you can take right now to protect your heart, improve your longevity, and feel your best as you age.Here’s what I cover in this episode:How estrogen protects your arteries, reduces inflammation, and lowers LDL cholesterolWhy heart disease is the number one killer of women—and why most women don’t realize itReproductive and hormonal risk factors (PCOS, early menopause, pregnancy complications, persistent hot flashes)The hidden danger of central obesity and why fat distribution mattersKey lifestyle strategies for heart health: movement, diet, and modifying controllable risksHow hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can benefit both short-term symptoms and long-term heart protectionPractical tips to start improving cardiovascular health in midlife and beyondThis episode is all about giving you the science, the numbers, and the tools you need to protect your heart—because when it comes to longevity, the odds are in your favor if you focus on the right risks.Follow us!Instagram https://www.instagram.com/foundationskristinjacksonmd/Website https://www.foundationsfl.com/FB facebook.com/advancedurogynecology
