Welcome to the first episode of Conversations with My Friends a new series I’m doing on topics that I’d be discussing with a friend. For the topic of Empty Nest, I invited my first mentor on the show to discuss what life is like after kids are off to college and beyond. My friend Sue is wise, funny, and the person who I’ve called at so many life transitions for her input. I’ve known her since I was 18. She was my boss and mentor the summer before heading off to college and she’s been a dear friend ever since. We often learn from talking to our friends and hearing their experiences and perspectives. Sue is sharing her experience of life since her kids have flown the nest, how she and her husband have been enjoying the time together, and the importance of having good friends around you. If you are an empty nester or about to be, you will love this conversation. Be sure to share it with a friend!

“Heart Care is the New Self-Care” – Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum
This interview could save your life or the life of a woman you know. Please share it with every woman in your life. Heart disease is the number one killer of women but so many women are unaware of this information. Today’s show is going to spotlight the importance of taking care of your heart health, what the key risk factors are, and how to focus on prevention.
While on the show notes page, I’d love for you to join our community. You’ll receive more inspiration and tips to love yourself and your life. You’ll get a FREE copy of Michele’s Book, Design a Life You Love.
*This interview is for entertainment purposes only. For medical advice, seek out your trusted healthcare provider.
WHAT WE DISCUSS:
The statistics about heart disease and how it is the #1 killer of women. 70% of women don’t realize they are at risk. The role research, the doctors, and even women have played and not changing this statistic in the last twenty years. How we can take ownership of our health since 80% of heart disease is preventable. The importance of preventative care. The blood tests we need as well as the other factors that play into our heart health. The symptoms that women may have and how they differ from men. Knowledge is power here to advocate for yourself. Women still die in the hospital of heart attacks. The importance of exercise, sleep, and meditation. Why Dr. Steinbaum is launching Adesso (means now in Italian) and how it is going to change the landscape of heart health, and more.RESOURCES MENTIONED

“Since the dawn of recorded time in almost every culture, our heart has been the symbol of our ultimate essence as human beings. Cupid, St. Valentine, the source of songs, poetry and art, our heart elevates that which makes us fully alive: our capacity for love, passion, romance, purpose. Life at its fullest.
And yet heart disease is the #1 killer of women. 1 in 3 women will die of heart disease and for the past 20 years, over the course of my entire career as a preventive cardiologist, that figure hasn’t changed. This disconnect, this Grand Canyon from the abstract idea of our hearts and the real working function of the organ at the center of our being, is what needs to change.
We know now that preventing heart disease is not defined just by medical data like blood pressure, cholesterol, BMI, sugars and medication. True heart health stems from every aspect of our lives, like stress, relationships, sleep, how we nourish ourselves, how we move and yes, even how we love.
As we fully put ourselves and our heart at the center of our lives, we will fully change the course of this disease that 80 percent of the time is preventable. We can and will change this. When we live from the heart, we live! Life at its fullest.”

Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum is a leader in preventive cardiology, now in private practice in New York. She launched heart prevention programs at Mt. Sinai Heart, Northwell Lenox Hill and Beth Israel.

How the medical system is biased towards supporting men and dismissing women. Women are told things like have a glass of wine and relax. Modern medicine is here to help us. Why we need to stop “shoulding” ourselves with the idea that menopause is natural therefore you shouldn’t need Hormone Therapy. The importance of talking to your partner when things are going well. And why Hollywood and the porn industry convey a false message about what sex should really be like.

Men don’t know more about our bodies and our pleasure than we do. She shares many myths including the myth that desire should be spontaneous that make women believe they are broken.

Dr. Suzanne Gilberg–Lenz is the author of Menopause Bootcamp: Optimize Your Health, Empower Your Self, and Flourish as You Age. As Dr. Suzanne explains, “menopause is not a disease” but it is something every woman will go through. She shares key information women need to know to navigate their symptoms. She also explains why there are so many changes that can happen with the decline of sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone). If you are confused about menopause this interview is for you!

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
Dr. Suzanne explains what happens to your body in the 7-12 years leading up to menopause. How hormone levels go from a very regular state to less predictable as the ovaries age and the levels of progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone decline. This is what triggers the various symptoms like hot flashes, brain fog, dryness, etc. Dr. Suzanne explains that there is a benefit to knowing your mother and even grandmothers experience with menopause as your symptoms and when you go through it may be the same. Why we need to focus on our brains, heart and bones with life-style well in advance. The benefits of starting HRT and suggestion to read the NYTimes article on menopause. The benefits of vaginal estrogen. What women who’ve had breast cancer need to know. The benefits of lifestyle modifications: exercise, mindset, and who we surround ourselves with and more.RESOURCES MENTIONED
