Heart disease is the number one cause<\/a> of death for all genders, across every race and ethnicity.<\/p>\n Yet, only a little more than half<\/a> of all women are aware of this.<\/p>\n This may be due to the fear of breast cancer and the fact that healthcare has focused a lot on its prevention in females.<\/p>\n Although this is important, it does a disservice when it overshadows the fact that women have a greater<\/a> risk of dying from cardiovascular disease (CVD) than all other cancers combined.<\/p>\n Females have specific symptoms and risk factors for heart problems which are different<\/a> than males and are not well-known. These aspects further contribute to CVD being overlooked for other diagnoses.<\/p>\n In my latest<\/a> post and video, I discuss heart health from a broader, more wholistic perspective for all genders.<\/p>\n Topics<\/a> include:<\/p>\n – A review of factors that impact heart health<\/p>\n – Specific symptoms in women that are underrecognized as risk factors for heart disease<\/p>\n – How hormonal and digestive symptoms can influence CVD in females<\/p>\n – The overlooked cardiovascular risk factors for all genders: socioeconomics, emotions, and relationships<\/p>\n – Naturopathic and functional medicine considerations for supporting better heart health for females and males<\/p>\n This knowledge surrounding cardiovascular health can help to empower you on which choices you make on your wellness journey, regardless of your gender. *<\/p>\n
