The Habit Healers

In this episode, I explore the concept of imperfections and how they shape our lives. I introduce the Japanese art of kintsugi, which involves repairing broken pottery with gold, symbolizing beauty in flaws. By embracing our imperfections, we can foster self-acceptance and transform our mindset. The discussion centers on recognizing our flaws as integral parts of our humanity, moving away from self-criticism, and highlighting the value of our unique experiences. Join me as I delve into how the philosophy of kintsugi can lead to personal growth and well-being.

In this episode, I delve into a groundbreaking new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine that examines long-term cardiovascular risk in women. The study, led by a team of researchers, followed nearly 28,000 healthy women over 30 years to analyze three key biomarkers: high sensitivity CRP (HSCRP), LDL cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol), and lipoprotein little a (Lp(a)). These biomarkers are crucial for predicting cardiovascular events such as heart attacks, strokes, and heart disease-related deaths. I highlight the significance of understanding how these markers predict 30-year cardiovascular outcomes, emphasizing the potential for earlier interventions to reduce risk. Join me as I explore what to look for, questions to ask your doctor, and strategies to incorporate into your lifestyle to combat inflammation and cholesterol issues.
