Heart Health, Menopause & Life After Cancer Treatment
We are so excited to welcome Dr. Swetha Alluri to the ChangeHer Podcast! In this episode, Dr. Alluri joins us to have an important and eye-opening conversation about heart health and its unique connection to women's health — a topic that affects so many of us and yet is far too rarely discussed.
Together, we explore the relationship between menopause and cardiovascular health, shed light on how cancer treatment can impact the heart, and discuss practical, empowering steps we can all take to prevent heart disease.
