Ep. 156 - Heart Health for Women with Dr. Jayne Morgan

Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine.  She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.  

February is Women's Heart Health month and for today's episode, I am joined by the extraordinary Dr. Jayne Morgan,  Cardiologist and VP of Medical Affairs at Hello Heart.  Heart health for women is a hot topic and Dr. Morgan and I speak about the importance of women being aware of their heart heath throughout life but particularily at menopause.  

Listen in and learn how your pregnancy experience can predict future heart concerns.  Dr. Morgan also tells us exactly how to ask our doctor for necessary tests to keep our heart health in mind.

Estrogen affects cardiovascular health and how perimenopause is a time of great change for our heart.  We discuss how a heart attack presents for women (hint:  it's different from the classic presentation that men can experience!) and what symptoms you shouldn't ignore.  These are common symptoms that might make you wonder if you, too, should ask your doctor to check out your heart!
