Heart Disease is NOW the #1 Killer of Women but it Can be Fixed!
I want to share a true story from Dr. Mark Menolascino.
It’s about how conventional medicine is so seriously mismanaging women’s heart health, that heart disease is NOW the #1 killer of women — more than all cancers combined, stroke or diabetes.
I also recommend you check out for Dr. Mark’s Women’s Heart Health Summit for free!
This year, Dr. Menolascino saw a woman in her 50s with no poor heart health history (or family history). She was fit, with low body fat, a great exercise regimen, did yoga and was an organic foodie.
He found she had very high lipoprotein (Lp(a)) — which can responsible for heart attacks and aortic valve disease — but her conventional doctors had put her on an anti-cholesterol medicine even though her basic cholesterol was fine, and which, of course, does nothing to address high lipo.
In fact, the anti-cholesterol statin can cause diabetes in over 50% of women her age.
Instead, he developed a natural, personalized plan, and her Lp(a) came back to normal — her heart disease risk now gone.
These are the types of things more of us need to understand, that women’s heart health is vastly different from men — the symptoms hide in different places, can be masked by hormones and relies on gut, thyroid, adrenal AND hormone health.
In another case, Dr. Mark was asked to care for an older woman who had diabetes and heart disease in her family history, and she was on medication for blood sugar and cholesterol.
She had been seen by a nationally-known health center with no clear improvement in her health.
Dr. Mark created a personalized program for her, and in 3 months she had lost 20 pounds, was off the diabetes and mood medications, and no longer needed a cholesterol drug.
It was all done through lifestyle medicine and personalized nutrition by professionals who understand the differences between a woman’s heart, and a man’s.
She went back to the nationally-recognized center for her annual physical and her doctor was blown away. In fact, he called Dr. Mark about the incredulous “miracle” that had occurred, even claiming that there is no way this would work for anyone else.
Dr. Mark’s reply…
“If we can do this for one person, we can do it for everyone.”
These stories are but a few that, hopefully, show you the necessity of The Women’s Heart Health Summit. I hope you’ll take a moment today to register for free.
