Heart Health Doesn’t Start at 40, It Starts in Your Teens. No… I am NOT Kidding

from Spot On! · host Dr. Joan Salge Blake

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Lloyd-Jones, Director of the Framingham Heart Study, to discuss why preventing heart disease starts earlier than most people think. We explore the power of early screening for key blood biomarkers and how decades of research show that small risk factors in young adulthood can shape long-term cardiovascular health. Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains how proactive lifestyle changes and early detection can dramatically reduce lifetime risk. Tune in to learn why, when it comes to heart health, sooner truly is better than later.
