Ep182 - Heart Strong: The Power of Her Pulse with guest Stacey Grant
It was a recipe for disaster. In 2023, Stacey Grant was rushed to the hospital with a MRSA infection. It was in her bloodstream, in her lungs, and most likely around her heart. To say she dodged a bullet is an understatement. Because many do not. Cardiovascular disease kills more women than all forms of cancer combined and yet only 44% of women recognize that cardiovascular disease is their greatest health threat. On this episode of the HIListically Speaking Podcast, we’re changing that for you and your heart.
