Life Saving Tests for Heart Disease | Empowering Midlife Wellness

When talking about women's health, we cannot ignore that the most common killer of both men and women is heart disease, and we are 10 times more likely to die from heart disease than breast cancer -- yet traditional medicine places very little emphasis on preventative tests especially for women. Today I'm going to share some simple and relatively inexpensive tests that every person should ask their doctor to do in order to establish her risk of heart disease, and to allow early detection of problems before symptoms would lead you to the doctor. The basic lipid panel that most doctors offer during your annual exam is not nearly enough! Today I'll teach you what to ask for, and some of these tests you can order yourself. Of course, lifestyle changes, including keeping a healthy weight, exercising, not smoking and keeping blood pressure optimal are all incredibly important- but I will explain why doing a heart scan is arguably more important than doing a mammogram, as well as some simple blood tests that can give you actionable information that could literally add decades of healthy years to your life!
