Why Heart Disease Is Still the Number One Killer of Women
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in women, yet so many are suffering quietly, often without clear warning signs and without being taken seriously by the medical system. In this conversation with Dr. Wolfson, we unpack why this is happening and what women truly need to know to protect their hearts.
One of the most striking points Dr. Wolfson makes is how conventional cardiology often misses the root causes of heart disease. Many women are told their tests look “normal,” only to experience worsening symptoms later. He explains why he no longer fully trusts many standard heart tests, and why relying on numbers alone can give a false sense of security. We also explore his controversial but well-researched views on cholesterol and statins, and why he believes they are frequently overprescribed without addressing the underlying metabolic, inflammatory, and environmental factors driving disease.
We dive into what optimal heart health actually looks like beyond medication. Diet plays a central role, but not in the way most people have been taught. Dr. Wolfson challenges common nutritional advice and explains what truly supports the heart at a cellular level, especially for women navigating hormonal shifts.
A powerful part of our discussion focuses on Broken Heart Syndrome, a very real condition that disproportionately affects women. Emotional stress, grief, and trauma can directly impact heart function, reminding us that the heart is not just a pump, but a deeply responsive organ connected to our nervous system and emotional world.
We also explore factors that are often ignored in cardiology but are critical for heart health. Sun exposure and circadian rhythms play a major role in regulating blood pressure, inflammation, and mitochondrial function. Poor sleep is not just an inconvenience, it directly stresses the heart and increases long-term risk. Dr. Wolfson also highlights the surprising and often overlooked connection between mold toxicity and heart disease, explaining how chronic environmental stressors can silently damage cardiovascular health over time.
Biohacking and natural prevention come up throughout the conversation, not as trends, but as tools rooted in biology. Dr. Wolfson shares why he ultimately left the traditional medical system, choosing instead to focus on prevention, lifestyle, and restoring the body’s natural ability to heal.
His story is deeply personal. Losing his father to heart disease changed the course of his life and shaped his mission to bring truth, awareness, and genuine prevention back into cardiology. This conversation is not about fear, but about empowerment. Women deserve better information, better care, and a deeper understanding of their own bodies.
If you care about your heart, your hormones, and your long-term health, this is a conversation worth listening to.
