There may be some cool medical technology that your primary care doctor isn’t offering you. It could help increase your health span (your healthy years), by telling you what is going on with your heart right now. It might not be offered because you seem “fine,” and it may not be covered by insurance, but it’s not very expensive out-of-pocket for most professional women either. 

Take the Coronary Artery Calcium Score test, for example. It’s a CT scan to see if you have calcium deposits in the arteries that supply your heart, and it might change the preventive treatment you need for your heart. This is especially true for people with a family history of heart disease.

My guest today is Dr. Tracy Paeschke, a board-certified cardiologist and health coach with over 25 years of experience caring for people with heart disease. After working for many years to diagnose and treat heart disease, she now focuses on prevention. She practices Integrative Cardiology in person at her clinic in Monument, Colorado, and through telehealth in several states. She employs the latest advanced lab testing, diagnostic testing, and cardiac imaging to provide a personalized assessment of her client's cardiac risk. She is passionate about helping people prevent and reverse heart disease through personalized medicine so they can enjoy a long life in good health.

In today's episode, Dr. Paeschke will give us strategies to increase the health of our hearts--yes, you can improve from where you are--and we talk about what level of LDL babies have. It will give you REAL perspective on your own cholesterol numbers.

I hope you enjoy the conversation and find something you can do to improve your health span, your years of good health.
