Thyroid Essentials: Diagnosis & Treatment with Dr. Aviva Romm

In this week’s episode of Be HEALTHistic, Drs. Stephen and Drew Sinatra welcome Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, an integrative cardiologist and author who has devoted her career to the treatment of heart disease through early detection, education, and prevention — especially in women. Today, she shares what women can do to protect their heart health, hidden risks to be aware of, and what we can all do to take better care of ourselves. First, Dr. Suzanne talks about her medical journey, and how as a traditionally trained cardiologist she found there was little focus on heart disease and women. They discuss how doctors and patients need to change the paradigm of thinking around cardiovascular health, since women and men need to be treated differently — and why making healthy lifestyle choices is key. Next, Dr. Suzanne explains her integrative approach to treating and preventing heart disease, how partnering with an Ayurvedic specialist created a more holistic patient experience, and how telemedicine is changing the healthcare game. Plus, she gives two key tips that can help improve your heart health right now. Don’t miss this vital episode of Be HEALTHistic!
