Did you know that your risk of heart disease doubles the moment you enter perimenopause? I sat down with cardiologist Dr. Jayne Morgan to unpack the truth about women’s heart health and why so many of us are missing the warning signs. We talked about how symptoms show up differently for women, especially during perimenopause, and what you can do to advocate for yourself. This conversation will shift how you think about “healthy,” helping you prioritize longevity, strength, and real heart protection. What you’ll learn: (00:00) A woman’s risk of heart disease doubles during perimenopause. (06:07) Heart disease is the number one killer of women—not cancer.
