Leveling Up: Creating Everything From Nothing with Natalie Jill
Did you know that heart disease kills more midlife women than cancer, yet, most doctors aren't testing correctly? Heart disease is super close and personal to me. It's how I lost my dad when he was just 49…so it really hits home. Most of us think of men when we hear about heart attacks or heart disease, but did you know it's the #1 killer of women over 45? Yet most of us are completely focused on the wrong risk factors (yep, including most doctors). In this conversation, I sat down with cardiologist Dr. Joel Kahn, who's been practicing for 35 years and has a fascinating perspective that challenges much of what we've been told about heart health (in a great way). We get personal - I share my own labs live on air as Dr. Kahn walks through exactly what these numbers mean and what we should actually be testing for instead of the basic panel most doctors order. We dive deep into why women present with heart disease so differently than men, the tests every woman over 45 should demand from their doctor, and why your calcium score might be more important than your cholesterol number. You'll discover the real story behind the cholesterol controversy that's been raging since the 1970s, when statins are actually necessary, the shocking connection between how you cook your food and arterial aging, why antibacterial mouthwash might be damaging your blood vessels, and the advanced lab tests that give you real answers about your cardiovascular risk - not just outdated calculations from the 1960s. If you've ever been confused about conflicting advice on saturated fat, wondered if you really need that statin prescription, or want to know what actually protects your heart as you age, this episode provides the clarity you've been searching for. Dr. Kahn brings decades of research and clinical experience to help us separate the marketing from the medicine when it comes to women's heart health.

Heart disease is the number one killer. But what if you could know your risk factors far in advance? Some cutting-edge tests are changing the game in cardiovascular health, and they're more accessible than you might think. In this episode, Dr. Joel Kahn sheds light on the critical role of early detection and intervention in preventing heart disease. Dr. Kahn, a leading cardiologist, emphasizes the significance of identifying atherosclerosis, the primary culprit behind heart disease, through advanced technology scans before you start feeling any symptoms. Listen to this episode and start preventing rather than lamenting your heart health! Episode Notes Dr. Joel Kahn stresses that even individuals with seemingly healthy lifestyles can have significant plaque buildup in their arteries, highlighting the importance of regular screenings. Benefits of Coronary Artery Calcium Scans The Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) scan is a valuable tool for detecting plaque in the arteries, providing crucial insights into cardiovascular health. This scan is recommended for individuals at risk of heart disease, such as those with a family history of high cholesterol. Early detection through the CAC scan can help in developing preventive strategies and maintaining heart health. Detect Heart Disease Early Early detection of heart disease is crucial in preventing its potentially fatal consequences. Tools like the CAC scan and AI-assisted CT scans provide detailed information about cardiovascular health, enabling you to take proactive steps towards maintaining a healthy heart. Regular screening and early intervention can significantly improve cardiovascular health outcomes. Prevent Atherosclerosis Atherosclerosis, the buildup of plaque in arteries, is a significant factor in heart disease and other health issues like erectile dysfunction. Regular screening, including the CAC scan, can help prevent the progression of atherosclerosis. By addressing risk factors and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, you can reduce your chances of developing heart disease.
