Heart disease is the #1 killer of women—yet most women still don’t know their real risk. In this conversation, integrative cardiologist Dr. Regina Druz breaks down why women are under diagnosed, how heart disease presents differently in women, and what lab markers actually matter. We dive into prevention starting as early as age 18, the impact of perimenopause and menopause on cholesterol, genetic risk factors like Lp(a), coronary calcium scans, GLP-1s, statins, supplements, and how to take a personalized, proactive approach to heart health.
