#132 Strong Women Still Have Heart Attacks
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You can lift heavy. You can eat clean. You can run businesses, households, and entire teams — and still be at risk for heart disease.
In this episode of Everything’s Messy Podcast, I dives into a hard but necessary truth: strength does not equal immunity. As a heart attack survivor, I unpack the hidden risks facing high-functioning women — from chronic stress and nervous system overload to silent inflammation and blood sugar instability.
This conversation builds on last week’s HRV episode and explores what’s happening beneath the surface when your body looks strong but your system is under strain.
I breaks down:
• Why lean, active women can still carry cardiovascular risk
• The impact of cortisol and chronic stress on arteries
• How overtraining and under-recovering affect heart health
• Tactical steps to protect your heart without burning out
If you consider yourself driven, resilient, and capable — this episode is especially for you.
Your body whispers before it screams.
Listen in, share with a strong woman in your life, and let’s protect our hearts — physically and emotionally.
As promised below is the episode where we learn about nasal breathwork.
