#99 How To Take Control Of Your Heart Health at Menopause with Michelle Routhenstein
Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death globally with more women being affected than men? In the UK, one in eight men and one in 14 women die from coronary heart disease, with more women dying from it than breast cancer.
Falling estrogen levels at menopause, weight gain, high cholesterol, and increased blood pressure can all affect our heart health but the good news is that 80% of cases are preventable through lifestyle changes.
And this is something I chat to this week's guest, Michelle Routhenstein, about. Michelle is a Cardiology Dietitian, Preventive Cardiology Nutritionist, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, and Certified Diabetes Educator and is on a mission to revolutionise heart disease management and prevention.
In this episode, Michelle:
💛 Encourages us to measure the risk factors for our heart health.
💛 Explains how menopause increases women’s risk of heart disease.
💛 Shares the importance of nutrition and other lifestyle measures for heart health.
💛 Breaks down some of the misconceptions about a heart-healthy diet.
This is an important topic that we all need to be aware of as we can determine how healthy our hearts are!
