Why Heart Disease Is the Number One Killer of Women with Dr. Jayne Morgan

Описание: Are you overlooking early symptoms of heart disease because they don’t look “typical”?

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Jayne Morgan—one of the world’s leading voices in women’s cardiology—about the number one killer of women: heart disease. She explains how pregnancy complications, hormonal transitions, and overlooked symptoms silently raise risk long before most women ever get screened. Together, we break down what tests matter, what symptoms never to ignore, and how every woman can take charge of her cardiovascular health starting now.

Dr. Jayne Morgan is a powerhouse cardiologist on a mission to revolutionize women’s heart health with clarity and honesty. She’s also a Pilates instructor, a fierce educator, and one of the few women boldly challenging the blind spots in traditional cardiology training.

What you’ll learn:

(01:52) Why heart disease—not breast cancer—is the number one killer of women and why most women never see it coming.
(04:29) How Dr. Morgan realized women’s symptoms were dismissed as “atypical,” leading to delayed care and missed diagnoses.
(07:26) The subtle early symptoms women experience—fatigue, jaw pain, nausea, shortness of breath—that are often confused for anxiety.
(13:38) How pregnancy complications can sometimes predict future heart disease risk.
(15:21) Why combining cardiology and obstetrics is essential.
(26:39) What happens to heart disease risk during perimenopause and menopause.
(37:11) Why movement—not formal “exercise”—is one of the most impactful daily habits for reducing heart disease risk.
(45:08) Which tests every woman should ask for, including calcium scoring, thyroid panels, and cholesterol markers.
