Episode 23: Menopause and Your Heart: Understanding Risks and Protecting Your Cardiovascular Health
Welcome back to Empower Your Menopause! It’s coach James and coach Juli here, helping women 40 and above power through the menopause transition.
In this episode, we’re tackling an incredibly important yet often overlooked topic: the connection between menopause and cardiovascular disease.
Most people think of heart disease as a man’s issue, but did you know that after age 50, women’s risk for heart disease actually surpasses that of men’s? That’s largely due to the changes that happen during menopause.
Here’s the truth: menopause doesn’t cause heart disease, but it increases the risk factors that can lead to it. So today, we’ll break it all down—what’s happening in your body, why it matters, and how to take proactive steps to keep your heart healthy for years to come.
