Our sisters, mothers, daughters, best friends — they are some of the most important people in our lives, but they’re all facing a very serious issue. The number one cause of death in women is heart disease, and yet women often receive fewer screenings and interventions than men when it comes to heart health. And even more disturbing — many women don’t feel they can take the time they need to get help.
Growing Bolder’s nutrition expert and registered dietitian Dr. Susan Mitchell shares a chilling story from her friend Bill, whose wife died suddenly. Doctors later determined that she had an extremely serious heart condition, despite no family history or risk factors. Now Bill’s mission is to urge all women to do whatever they can to not only prevent heart disease but to treat it.
