The I Am You podcast is hosted by Dr. Nitza Alvarez, a board-certified cardiologist and bestselling author. Each episode is designed to empower women to take control of their well-being and become the CEO of their own health.

In this special episode, Dr. Alvarez shifts the focus inward, sharing the personal mission and purpose behind I Am You. She opens up about her journey as a cardiologist, wife, and mother, and why she is so passionate about advocating for women’s heart health.

Dr. Alvarez discusses the stark reality that heart disease remains the number one killer of women—claiming 300,000 lives each year—yet 80% of these deaths are preventable. She explains how women are often under-recognized, under-diagnosed, and under-treated, and how this podcast exists to close that gap by giving women the tools they need to advocate for themselves.

This episode highlights why women must understand that their hearts—and their health—are different. Dr. Alvarez shares how to recognize unique risk factors, ask the right questions, and avoid being dismissed or “gaslighted” in medical settings. Most importantly, she inspires every listener to step into the role of CEO of their own health, equipped with knowledge, confidence, and the power to change their future.

Tune in to learn not just what I Am You is about, but why it matters—and how it can help save your life, your mother’s life, your sister’s life, and the lives of women you love
