Heart disease kills more women in Canada than all cancers combined.
But here's what most women don't know: perimenopause is your prevention window.
This is the decade when your cardiovascular risk changes most dramatically. Not because you're aging. Because estrogen, the hormone that's been protecting your heart for years, is declining.
Most women wait until something's wrong. A diagnosis. A scare. A problem that could have been prevented.
But what if you didn't wait?
What if you addressed inflammation before it became chronic?�
What if you stabilized blood sugar before insulin resistance set in?�
What if you managed stress before cortisol wreaked havoc on your cardiovascular system?�
What if you supported your body through the hormonal shift instead of ignoring it?
Prevention isn't about being afraid. It's about being informed.
A cardiac risk assessment gives you the full picture, blood pressure, cholesterol, inflammatory markers, insulin resistance, hormonal shifts, so you can build a plan that actually works.
