Certain pregnancy-related conditions — like high blood pressure or gestational diabetes — are now known to increase future cardiovascular risk.

Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can also affect cholesterol levels and blood pressure.

Your OB-GYN helps identify these risks early and guides preventive care through every stage of life. Heart health is a lifelong conversation — and it starts sooner than many women realize.

02/18/2026

Your OB-GYN visit isn’t just about reproductive health — it’s an important checkpoint for your heart, too.

During well-woman exams, providers routinely assess blood pressure, weight trends, family history, and lifestyle factors that impact cardiovascular health. These regular visits allow for early conversations and proactive steps — often long before heart disease develops.

Preventive care today can protect your health for years to come.

Heart disease is often thought of as a “men’s health issue,” but it’s the leading cause of death for women in the U.S. and symptoms can look very different than they do in men.

Fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea, or jaw and back pain can all be warning signs. That’s why preventive care and early conversations matter.

This Heart Health Awareness Month, we’re highlighting how your OB-GYN plays a key role in protecting your heart often before symptoms ever appear. 💗

We’re proud to celebrate Dr. Aldred on becoming ABOM-certified (American Board of Obesity Medicine) 🎉
This advanced certification reflects a deep commitment to preventive, whole-person care—and to addressing the why behind obesity, not just the symptoms.

“Filling gaps in women’s healthcare is a core passion of mine. Desmond Tutu once said, ‘There comes a point where we need to stop pulling people out of the river and instead go upstream to understand why they are falling in.’ Pursuing certification through the American Board of Obesity Medicine represents an important step in equipping myself to practice upstream, preventive care—addressing root causes rather than reacting to downstream disease. I am deeply committed to optimizing health across all stages of life and aligning care with patients’ long-term goals. I look forward to providing this comprehensive, proactive approach to women’s healthcare throughout my career.”

Congratulations to Dr. Aldred on this meaningful achievement and the impact it brings to our patients’ care 💙

Cervical cancer often has no symptoms in its early stages, which is why regular screening is so important. But if your body sends signals like unusual bleeding, pelvic pain, or changes in discharge — don’t wait.

Early evaluations can make all the difference. If something feels off, trust your instincts and talk to your provider.
