Optimize Your Heart Health, Preventative Cardiology, PCOS with Dr. Harkin

Ignite Your PowHER

This week, we’re diving into heart disease, a critical topic for all women especially PCOS women.

Heart disease is a primary killer of both women and men. It affects many people each year. And modern medicine does not address prevention but instead treatment of disease.

That’s why I wanted to bring in a guest expert on cardiovascular disease, Dr. Nicole Harkin. She founded Whole Heart Cardiology to provide patient-centered cardiac care, evidence-based nutritional guidance, and personalized lifestyle plans for her patients in a modern setting. She takes pride in helping patients achieve their goals, feel better, and thrive. She is licensed to see patients in California, New York, and Florida.

In this episode, I interview Dr. Nicole Harkin, a preventative cardiologist.
We discuss:

• What is preventative cardiology?
• How do you know if you are developing heart disease?
• The Heart disease and PCOS connection.
• Evidenced-based tips that include nutrition, lifestyle and medications that help prevent heart disease and diabetes. (She gives us great tips to do now)
• BMI vs. waist circumference (here is a link to a great article for waist circumference)
• Even if you are in your 20's, you should start now.
