Heart disease has been the #1 killer in the United States for more than a century—and most of the time, it’s fueled by lifestyle choices we make every day.

In this episode, we break down what really happens inside your heart when plaque builds up, arteries harden, or blood flow gets blocked. You’ll learn how to recognize the early warning signs of coronary artery disease, the often-overlooked symptoms of heart attacks (especially in women), and why heart failure is a life-changing but manageable condition.  

From chest pain and shortness of breath to daily habits that can protect your heart, we’ll cover practical strategies, medication essentials, and simple lifestyle changes that may help you live longer and better.
