Once women reach menopause their risk for cardiovascular disease is equal to the risk for men. Women need to take action now to care for their hearts as they age to feel their best and reduce risk.

Heart disease is still the leading cause of death in women. We don't talk as much as we should about how women's heart health research is 35 years behind that of men. Or, how our symptoms are often not taken seriously. We want to help change the narrative around women and heart disease. It all starts here with a conversation with Courtney Jordan Baechler MD, MS.

I’ve reset my mindset.  Instead of thinking that the creation of lifelong memories requires lots of travel and big events, I’ve come to the awareness that our real lives are lived in between the cracks of those big events.

We’ve spent decades talking to women who are struggling with the same unrealistic standards of staying young, fit, and winkle-free.  During this time, we’ve listened and heard women, from every walk of life, describe feeling undervalued, invisible, and less confident as they’ve grown older. When we turned 50, we started to share similar feelings.  We quickly realized that this had to change. Women needed science-based effective tools and resources to guide them in aging well.
