Welcome to Season 3 of the Essence of Health Tea Time podcast!
It’s Heart Health Awareness Month! While you may be aware that Cardiovascular Disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, did you know that Cardiovascular Disease takes the life of one woman every 80 seconds?
It's important to be proactive about your health, particularly for women who are disproportionately affected by heart disease and knowing your risks with lipid testing is a good place to start.
