Why Cardiovascular Health is Women’s #1 Longevity Lever and How to Protect It Part 1

I’m excited to have Andie Crosby join me for a two-part series.

In Part 1 today, we dive into why cardiovascular health is the number one longevity lever for women and how it is often ignored until it is too late. We explore the critical role of the endothelial glycocalyx, a microscopic life-sustaining structure that is essential for vascular integrity, the inflammation response, and nutrient delivery. 

In Part 2 next week, we will cover how nitric oxide supports energy, sexual vitality, and even skin radiance, and factors that could damage the ability to produce it naturally. 

How to Protect and Support the Endothelial Glycocalyx

  • Reduce stress 
  • Manage blood sugar  
  • Prioritize sleep
  • Meditate 
  • Take clinically researched supplements.  
  • Monitor your cardiovascular health with diagnostics and lifestyle tracking to catch and reverse arterial aging before it starts to progress.
