@dralexandravolo: Heart disease is still the Number 1 cause of death in women — and menopause changes your risk more than most people realize. When estrogen declines, your heart loses a major layer of protection. That shift can increase insulin resistance, raise LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, stiffen blood vessels, and elevate blood pressure. This is why cardiovascular risk rises significantly after menopause. This is NOT fear-mongering. This is prevention. Because menopause is more than hot flashes — it’s a cardiometabolic transition. Know your numbers. Ask questions. Have the conversation with your doctor. I don’t want to treat heart disease. I want to prevent it. I’m Dr. Volo ❤️ — board-certified primary care physician & menopause-certified provider. Follow for real women’s health… and real prevention. #hearthealth #heartdiseaseinwomen #perimenopause #menopausehealth #hormonehealth
