In today’s episode, we explore a breakthrough in heart health with Wegovy (semaglutide). These have shown a 20% risk reduction in heart disease in at-risk individuals, according to the SELECT trials of Fall 2023.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women, and 80 to 90 percent of cases are preventable through healthy lifestyle choices like diet, exercise, regular check-ups, and stress management.

Joining us is Dr. Tracy Paeschke, a double board-certified cardiologist and health coach with expertise in heart disease prevention.

She shares insights into preventive strategies, stress's impact on heart health, advanced testing, personalized statin therapy, and specific considerations for managing heart health in women. We also dispel the myth that heart disease predominantly affects males. Heart disease stands as the leading cause of death for women, and we delve into its prevalence and unique challenges in our discussion.
