Heart disease is the number one killer of women. And most heart attacks come from plaque that never shows up on our cholesterol panel, our stress test, or our EKG. Traditional cardiology has been treating us blindly. In this episode, preventive cardiologist Dr. John Osborne walks us through why standard tests miss the disease, what soft plaque actually is (he calls it the lava), why menopause is a massive cardiovascular event, and the modern imaging that finally lets us SEE our arteries and reverse the disease decades before symptoms show up. This is the conversation every midlife woman needs to hear.
