What does a cancer expert do to help lower HIS cancer risk? 🤔

Dr. David Doo focuses on: Eating well. Moving his body regularly. Managing stress. And staying on top of preventive screenings. 🏃🩺

These habits may seem simple, but they’re powerful tools for lowering risk and catching concerns early.

Many women aren’t familiar with Lp(a), or just how closely women’s health and heart health are connected. ❤️

During perimenopause and menopause, hormonal changes can affect more than how you feel day to day. They can also impact heart health in ways many women are never told to look for.

In this episode of The Dusty Muffins podcast, Nuvance Health interventional cardiologist Dr. Sunny Intwala joins menopause experts to explore the connection between estrogen, Lp(a) and cardiovascular risk during perimenopause and menopause.

This discussion explores what may be happening if you’ve been reassured by a “normal” lipid panel but still don’t feel quite right. Sometimes standard tests don’t tell the full story, and Lp(a) can be an important piece of the puzzle.

In 2026, are standard lipid panels really enough to assess someone’s risk of a cardiovascular event? 🤔🫀

This American Heart Month, Nuvance Health interventional cardiologist Dr. Sunny Intwala sat down with the hosts of The Dusty Muffins to break down what heart risk assessment looks like today and why growing awareness around Lp(a) is changing the conversation.

From menopause and cardiovascular risk to what should actually happen after an initial assessment, this conversation goes beyond the basics.

For the full episode, mark your calendars for the release on official Heart Day (Valentine’s Day, of course). ❤️

This month, we Wear Red to stand with women everywhere. ❤️

Heart disease is the number one (and often silent) killer of women, responsible for 1 in 3 deaths each year. These are not just statistics. They represent our mothers, sisters, friends, coworkers, neighbors and ourselves.

Stephanie Foss, ER Nurse at New Milford Hospital, shares her why:

“I wear red because, as an emergency room nurse, I enjoy educating those in my community on ways to improve cardiovascular health. I take pride in providing comfort and care to those who come to us in their darkest hour.”

What if the next breakthrough in healthcare started right here at home? 💙

Across Nuvance Health hospitals, now part of Northwell Health, doctors and research teams are advancing clinical trials for conditions they care for every day, including heart disease, stroke, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and genetic conditions.

These studies give participants the opportunity to access emerging treatments while helping shape the future of care for their communities and beyond.

By participating in clinical research, today’s questions can become tomorrow’s answers. 🔎
