Heart disease remains the number-one killer of women, outpacing all types of cancer, diabetes, and stroke. And while the classic risk factors for heart disease (high cholesterol, obesity, high blood pressure, etc.) are critical in both sexes, women often manifest the disease in very different ways. Who knew that depression, panic attacks, shortness of breath, oral or tooth/jaw pain, and even poor sleep can indicate the presence of heart disease in women? Furthermore, these symptoms can be masked by life events such as pregnancy and menopause, making it even more difficult to diagnose and treat the problem.
In Heart Solution for Women: A Proven Program to Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Hardcover; January 29, 2019), Dr. Mark Menolascino gets right to the point, “we’ve neglected women’s hearts, women are dying, we need a better solution.” Dr. Menolascino has been effectively treating women for decades and offers his program here both clearly and directly. Heart Solution for Women is more than a call to action, it is an accessible guide to the latest research revealing the many factors that play a role in our heart health and the specific actions we need to take to prevent the disease. This book includes a detailed personalized assessment and practical protocol as well as a comprehensive plan for cardiac health—all designed exclusively for the female body. Additionally, he sheds light on the key differences between men and women’s hearts, exposes pharmaceutical companies and the dangerous drugs they promote, and explains why our hearts are in jeopardy in the first place.
The good news, as Dr. Menolascino insists “Your genes are your potential, not your destiny. Regardless of your current risk factors, you can change your genetic potential for the better.”
In Heart Solution for Women, readers will discover:
- How and why inflammation is the root cause of heart disease
- That childhood trauma can be a big contributor to heart disease, even decades later
- What part the adrenal and thyroid glands and female hormones play in heart health
- The latest on how the food glycemic index, fermented foods, soy products, fats, and other dietary influences have on heart health
- That there are 3, not 2 body types, in women – with the third type most at risk, plus — your body type can change
- Surprising, little known external clues from the body (pupils, earlobes, fingernails, skin, etc.) that indicate heart disease
- How nutrition choices can optimize methylation to protect the body from turning on any hereditary genes for high cholesterol, obesity, and more
