As heart disease is the number one killer of women worldwide, multi-award winning physician Dr Felice Gersh joins Liz to reveal the connections between this chronic condition and our hormones.

Liz and Felice discuss why heart issues are more common in midlife women, the realities of broken heart syndrome, and how we can optimise our cardiovascular health through our lifestyle and hormones.

Felice also shares how HRT may be able to prevent cardiovascular disease, plus why cholesterol often increases in menopause.
