Heart disease is often framed as a men's issue, and that framing has real consequences for how women and their doctors think about risk. A new scientific statement published in Circulation by the American Heart Association projects that cardiovascular disease in American women will increase substantially through 2050. By mid-century, more than 59% of adult women are projected to have hypertension (up from about 49% today), obesity is expected to climb from roughly 44% to over 61%, and rates of coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, and atrial fibrillation are all projected to rise. The trends are most pronounced in Black, Hispanic, and American Indian women, who already face disproportionate cardiovascular risk and less access to screening and treatment. In my 20 years of clinical practice, I worked with many women who had never been told that cardiovascular disease was their number one health threat. The awareness gap is just as dangerous as the disease itself. These projections are sobering, but many of the risk factors driving them are modifiable through diet, sleep, physical activity, and stress management. The window for meaningful prevention is long, but it requires starting early and not waiting for symptoms to appear. The key to heart disease prevention is to avoid processed foods, sugar, eat organic whole food and handle stress properly.

my name is Karla I’m a mother of 5 amazing kids and a stay at home mom. I recently started Mind and Body Solution program. the reason I decided to begin focusing on my body and overall health is because I started experiencing several physical issues. On December 7, 2025, I had heart palpitations and went to the hospital. The doctor told me that everything looked okay. Some of my lab results were slightly low or slightly high, but nothing they considered serious, so I was sent home. The only explanation they gave me was that it might be anxiety or stress and that I would be okay. However, deep down something didn’t feel right to me. I felt like I needed to look deeper into what was happening with my body, which is why I decided to start focusing on my mind and body health.

Hello, I’m new to the community. How can I see the lessons under the classroom category? TIA

I have been taking vitamins and supplements along with my medication‘s for quite some time. I have not wanted to ask about them during my appointments with the Dr Serge. I am very confused on went to type them in contrast to when I take my medications. Is there a common guide that could help me know how best to handle this situation?
