Today, we kick off our Heart Health series with an eye-opening look into Heart Disease and Its Impact on Women of Color. Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States? More alarmingly, women of color, particularly Black women, are disproportionately affected by this silent killer.

Welcome to the Heart Health Series of High Blood Pressure Wellness Lifestyle podcast, where we delve into topics critical to our well-being and longevity. I'm your host, Donna Williams, Certified Holistic Health Coach, and I'm delighted to guide you through this important conversation.

Today’s topic is about Heart Disease and Its Impact on Women of Color!  A happy heart is a healthy heart that moves us through the seasons of life.

Our podcast episode today focuses on Heart Disease and Women of Color. Today, we delve into the critical yet often overlooked topic of how heart disease uniquely impacts women of color. Despite advancements in medical research and awareness, this group continues to face significant disparities in diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes. Join us as we explore the underlying factors contributing to these disparities, highlight the voices and experiences of those affected, and discuss pathways to ensure better heart health for women of color.
