Heart disease is the number one cause of death for women all over the world. Yet it's not talked about nearly as much as it should be. This conversation with functional medicine practitioner and heart-health expert Dr. Stephen Hussey is intended to spread awareness of how we ended up in this place, and what we can do to change it.

Dr. Hussey is living proof that you can help reduce your risk of atherosclerosis through simple diet and lifestyle changes. He shares the steps he took to get healthier, as well as the five big things you can focus on in your environment to reduce potentially heart-damaging toxin exposure.

He and JJ discuss heart-supportive nutrition, including why you should avoid seed oils at the grocery store (yes, you’ll even find them at the health food store, so watch your labels!). They also dispel the myth that animal fat and protein cause heart disease, and provide supplement recommendations for promoting heart health.

To get started on your path to better heart health, listen in to learn what markers to look for to pick up on insulin resistance years before it can lead to prediabetes or diabetes (often a precursor to heart disease) and the right tests to request from your doctor.
