S11 E6: Becoming Heart Smart With Jim LaValle, RPh, CCN (Performance & Longevity Series)

Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer in the United States. It's also often referred to as the "silent killer" because many of the factors that contribute to it happen internally overtime, without noticeable symptoms. Tuning in to and understanding your cardiovascular health requires a holistic lens that goes beyond knowing your cholesterol levels. In this episode, Jim LaValle, RPh, CCN, shares the hidden causes of heart disease, how it progresses, and how to prevent and potentially reverse it, so you can own your cardiovascular health and be "heart smart."

This episode of Life Time Talks is part of our series on Performance and Longevity with MIORA.
