INSIGHT

Cardiovascular Events Are Almost Always Preventable

  • A large October 2025 study found nearly all heart disease, stroke, and heart failure cases had at least one non-optimal traditional risk factor.
  • This supports that cardiovascular disease is overwhelmingly driven by modifiable lifestyle and metabolic factors.
INSIGHT

Hormone Loss Drives Metabolic Shifts

  • Aging hormones and inflammation naturally raise cholesterol and blood pressure through metabolic shifts.
  • Menopause and testosterone decline accelerate insulin resistance and vascular 'floppiness', increasing risk.
ADVICE

Track The Four Key Risk Factors

  • Monitor the four traditional risk factors: blood pressure ≥120/80, total cholesterol ≥200, fasting glucose ≥100, and past or current smoking.
  • Use those cutoffs to screen early and act before disease manifests.
