Description
Heart disease is an increasingly important issue for women. I’ve heard stats that it actually kills more women than breast cancer, but it’s not talked half as much. So I’m so glad to have Dr. Mark Menolascino here to give us a deep dive on this topic and explain what we can all be doing to safeguard our heart health.
Dr. Mark is one of very few physicians who is board-certified in internal medicine, integrative and holistic medicine, functional medicine, and advanced hormone management and anti-aging medicine. So to say he’s qualified would be a huge understatement. He additionally has a master’s degree in pharmacology and immunology and was a doctoral candidate in the medical science program assisting with clinical trials of new medications, and as well as part of the heart disease reversal team with the famed Dr. Dean Ornish.
Let’s hear what he has to say…

Right now, you can get 2 pairs of leggings for $24, which is half the price of just a sports bra from some other brands! I’ve never understood the crazy prices on some athletic gear, especially since the goal is to get those clothes sweaty anyway! That’s why I love Fabletics. They have really cute styles that rival even the highest priced brands at great prices. I especially love their power hold leggings and sports bras with cris
