#71 the truth about blood pressure & heart attack risks w/ Dr. Ellie Campbell

February is American Heart Health Month! To help you receive the best information out there about all things heart health, Fallon is joined by board-certified family physician and best-selling author of The Blood Pressure Blueprint, Dr. Ellie Campbell. Did you know that women have very different symptoms of heart attack versus men and that they are significantly less mild? And that women die from heart attack more often than men? 10X more women will die from heart attacks and strokes than die from breast cancer-- so why aren't we aware of this and how do we address heart health holistically?

In this episode, you will learn how to evaluate your health disease and heart attack risks at any age. Dr. Campbell shares how to prevent your risk of stroke, certain cancers, and kidney disease, while also having more options than just a CPAP for sleep apnea treatment.

You will learn the truth about blood pressure, cholesterol, blood clots, and plaques in this episode. Given women's hearts are smaller, more damage is done from a heart attack. Dr. Campbell gives us insights into the best lab work and tests to get done to evaluate our heart attack risk.

Dr. Ellie Campbell is a native Chicagoan, and graduate of the University of Illinois, the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine, and the Medical College of Georgia.
