## Resource

“Why is heart disease still the #1 killer of women—and why aren’t we talking about it?” In this episode, Dr. Mariza sits down with Jayne Morgan to unpack the overlooked connection between perimenopause, menopause, and cardiovascular risk. Most women are told menopause is just about hormones and symptoms—but it’s actually a vascular transition that directly impacts your heart, blood vessels, and long-term health. Together, they break down why women are often misdiagnosed, why key risk markers are missed, and what you can do to advocate for yourself early—before a major event happens. If you’re in your 40s or beyond, this conversation could change how you think about your health—and your future. Be sure to tune in! DR.
