One thing about the menopause transition - it prompts many of us to reevaluate different aspects of our lives. 

Paying more attention to hormones (I mean, for a lot of us, how can we not), means taking a closer look at the rest of our greater health picture.

Heart health is — complex. There are a lot of moving parts, and understanding our personal risk factors often can be a challenge.

With that, I’m excited to drop our newest episode of Departure Menopause with my friend, Amy Chadwick, RN, BSN, CPT.

Amy is a Heart Failure Nurse Navigator, bringing her years of experience to provide us with education and practical tips on assessing our heart health.

Tune in to hear:

💓 About Amy’s role in the hospital system as a Heart Failure Nurse Navigator

💓 An understanding of heart failure and heart disease

💓 Learn the key heart health markers to monitor

💓 Understand why stress management in perimenopause is a key heart health behavior

💓 Hear Amy’s personal journey through perimenopause - which, spoiler alert, does not involve hormone therapy
