Heart Health After 50: Awareness Every Woman Should Have

Heart disease is the number one killer of women—yet many midlife women are still confused, dismissed, or left out of meaningful conversations about prevention. In this Heart Month episode of Don’t Let the Old Lady In, nurse and board-certified health & wellness coach Lorie Gardner invites you into a smarter, calmer conversation about heart health—one rooted in awareness, advocacy, and self-respect. This episode explores: Why “normal” cholesterol numbers don’t always mean low risk Why midlife women are often told to wait—and why waiting isn’t always neutral How to think differently about prevention without fear or pressure The signs of heart attack and stroke in women—and why recognizing them matters This is not a pro- or anti-medication episode. It’s a clarity episode. Whether you’re navigating cholesterol questions, thinking about your long-term health, or simply want to age with strength and intention, this conversation is for you. Thank you for listening. I wish you an amazing aging journey, so I have listed a few resources for you to get you started.
