    Heart disease is the #1 health threat to women—and yet it’s still the one most overlooked.In this episode of The Iconic Midlife, I sit down with leading cardiologist Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum to unpack the connection between menopause, hormones, and cardiovascular health—and why so many women are missing the warning signs.We talk about what hot flashes may actually signal, how hormonal shifts impact your heart, and the subtle symptoms that are too often dismissed or misdiagnosed. Dr. Steinbaum also shares what women should be doing now to protect their long-term health—and the critical questions to start asking their doctors.This is the conversation every woman in midlife needs to hear.In This Episode, We Cover:Why heart disease is the #1 cause of death in womenThe link between menopause, hormones, and heart healthWhat hot flashes may be telling you about your bodyCommon symptoms of heart disease in women that are often missedThe role of lifestyle, diet, and preventionKey questions every woman should ask her doctorWhy This MattersToo many women are focused on the wrong health risks—and by the time symptoms appear, they’re often ignored or misunderstood.Understanding what’s happening in your body during midlife isn’t optional—it’s essential.Let’s Keep the Conversation GoingWhat surprised you most about this episode?Share it with a friend who needs to hear this—and don’t forget to follow the show so you never miss a moment.Takeaways:Menopause and heart health are closely linked, with hot flashes significantly increasing heart disease risk.Understanding silent symptoms is crucial; common signs like jaw pain or back pain may indicate heart issues.Women often overlook heart disease as a primary health concern, unintentionally prioritizing other health issues instead.It's vital to educate yourself on personal health metrics and advocate for your needs with healthcare providers.Exercise is the best medication; 30 minutes of moderate activity five times a week can make a big difference.Small lifestyle changes can lead to significant improvements in heart health, so find one area to focus on today.Join the Inner Circle: https://the-iconic-midlife-with-roxy-manning.kit.com/3433416614Want bold guests, unfiltered stories, and iconic midlife insight in your inbox?Listen & FollowThe Iconic Midlife is where smart, stylish women over 40 come to rebrand midlife on their terms.New episodes every Tuesday.
