Today on Feminine Roadmap, Dr Barbara Roberts and Gina talk about heart health for women. Dr Barbara is a retired cardiologist with over 45 years of experience, she was the first female adult cardiologist in Rhode Island and was the Director of Women’s Cardiac Center at the Miriam Center and she has a passion for women’s heart health. As more attention is being brought to women’s heart health, Dr. Barbara enriches the conversation from the perspective of a woman and a cardiologist. Her deep desire to serve women and their heart health comes through as she outlines what heart disease looks like in women versus how it shows up in men, symptoms to be aware of that might alert you to a heart problem and strategies to live a full and healthy life until the day you die. One of the powerful truths Dr. Barbara shares is that “you can’t separate the head from the heart without fatal consequences.” This is not your run of the mill, dry medical conversation; this is a full spectrum look at heart health for women that includes every other part of her. Grab a cuppa something wonderful and enjoy this stimulating, entertaining look at women’s heart health. http://www.feminineroadmap.com/episode119/
