Dr. Jayne Morgan is a leading Cardiologist, menopause specialist, researcher, and expert in women's heart health. A correspondent for CNN and others, in this episode, we talk about the critical but often overlooked intersection of women, heart attacks, and menopause. 

Dr. Morgan starts by discussing the often-unknown and frequently overlooked symptoms of heart disease in women, which include chronic fatigue, back pain, jaw pain, pain in either arm and flu-like symptoms.

She emphasizes that a woman can have a heart attack without knowing it, highlighting the importance of recognizing these subtle signs early. Dr. Morgan provides guidelines on identifying when to seek medical help and choosing the right specialists.

We delve into why postmenopausal women face higher heart attack risks compared to men and the benefits and considerations of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) in managing menopausal symptoms and heart health. 

We also explore the role of diet in reducing inflammation and promoting heart health by avoiding pro-inflammatory foods like baked goods with artificial preservatives and artificial sugars. Dr. Morgan highlight the benefits of resistance training, pilates, and walking in maintaining heart health and reducing the risk of heart disease.

Reflecting on advancements in the understanding of menopause, Dr. Morgan shares her vision for a future where women don't have to advocate for themselves because healthcare providers automatically consider their needs, and are trained to do so.

Join us for this empowering episode where Dr. Jayne Morgan breaks the silence on women’s heart health and the critical intersection with menopause! You won’t want to miss the invaluable insights and practical advice that could transform your approach to health and well-being as a woman of any age.
