Did you know that every 34 seconds, someone in the U.S. dies from heart disease? Or that over 1 million Americans will suffer a heart attack each year? These startling statistics highlight the undeniable reality that heart disease remains the number one cause of death in both men and women. And yet, despite its prevalence, many individuals unknowingly have heart disease, often without presenting any obvious symptoms.

In this episode, Dr. Joy Kong is joined by Dr. Joel Kahn, a leading cardiologist with over three decades of experience, to discuss the often-missed aspects of heart health and preventative care.

Dr. Kahn, a pioneer in integrative cardiology, emphasizes the importance of early detection and preventive measures to manage heart disease before it becomes life-threatening.

Dr. Kahn also provides insights into his own heart health regimen and offers practical advice on how to keep your heart young and strong, regardless of age. With heart disease being a leading cause of death, understanding how to proactively manage and monitor your heart health is more important than ever.

If you’re looking for ways to optimize your cardiovascular health and ensure you're doing everything you can to prevent heart disease, this episode provides essential knowledge you can start applying today.
