Today, Dr. Alex Verge joins me for an important conversation about women’s heart health. Dr. Alex is a naturopathic doctor based in Guelph, Ontario who is passionate about elevating the women’s heart health conversation. The data tells us that every 22 minutes, a woman dies of heart disease in Canada, and the hard truth is that much of this is preventable. Many of us have at least one risk factor for heart disease–including the decline of estrogen that occurs postmenopause, so we simply can not talk about menopause without talking about women’s heart health. Dr. Alex is here to ignite more curiosity about women’s heart health, and give us the much-needed reminder, that when it comes to cardiovascular health, we need to know our numbers, and to discuss those numbers with our health team.
