Instead of focusing on isolated diagnoses, I look at the whole picture — everything is connected.

Our bodies don’t work in silos. To truly reduce risk, we have to consider everything together — and this list is far from exhaustive.

Many conditions show s*x differences but can affect both men and women. This is why I focus on patterns and overlaps rather than labels:

💓 Osteoporosis: More prevalent in women, especially after menopause, but men also lose bone and often present later with serious fractures.

💓 Fatty liver disease: Diagnosed more in men and in women after menopause, yet significant cases appear in women before midlife, especially with metabolic risk.

💓 Reflux and diverticulitis: Severe reflux complications and early diverticulosis skew male, but chronic reflux and diverticular disease also occur in women.

💓 Psoriasis and eczema: Rates are similar, though severity and patterns differ; both can overlap with cardiometabolic and autoimmune risk.

💓 PCOS: Unique to women and can influence inflammation, cardiometabolic risk, and symptom presentation.

💓 Autoimmune disease (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid disease): More common in women, further influencing inflammation, cardiometabolic risk, and symptoms.

💓 Kidney disease: Often more aggressive in men, but women experience unique risks, including hormone-related progression and under-recognition early.

👉 As a cardiovascular dietitian with over 14 years of experience, I see both men and women in my private practice and I take a comprehensive approach with both. I consider s*x-specific prevalence and hormone patterns, while also accounting for overlapping cardiometabolic, autoimmune, inflammatory, and kidney risks — including labs, imaging, symptoms, family history, lifestyle, environment, and personal goals. This ensures each person receives individualized, whole-person care.

If you are looking for more support, I have two more spots for 1-on-1 in April. Comment “1 on 1” and I’ll share how to book a discovery call to see if we’d be a good fit.

Call me straightforward, but if this could literally save a man’s life, prevent hidden heart damage, or give him the wake-up call he didn’t know he needed… I’m here for it.

Men: Please don’t ignore these 5 heart health truths.

1️⃣ Exercise alone isn’t enough. Moving your body is important, but it can’t undo the impact of a poor diet. What you eat every day affects blood pressure, cholesterol, inflammation, & your long‑term heart risk more than you might think. Nutrition is especially important after exercise to halt oxidative stress induced by exercise.

2️⃣ Feeling fine doesn’t always mean your heart is fine. Many men skip checkups until something feels wrong, but heart disease often develops quietly. Routine blood work, home blood pressure checks, & follow-ups can catch issues early - long before symptoms appear.

3️⃣ Erectile dysfunction can be a warning sign. Persistent ED isn’t just a s*xual issue - it’s often one of the first signs of circulatory problems. Because the pe**le arteries are smaller than heart arteries, they can show endothelial dysfunction and microvascular disease earlier. Paying attention to this early signal could help protect your heart.

4️⃣ Heart disease often starts young. Habits and risk factors in early adulthood shape your heart’s future. The earlier you act, the more you can change your trajectory. I have 4 young boys & a husband bh I adore, and you better bet I am teaching them to care for their heart now.

5️⃣ You can’t wait until you have time. Life is busy, and your work matters, but if you don’t prioritize your everyday habits, heart disease silently brews. You have to act now, or retirement and everything you’ve worked for won’t be the active, independent life you envisioned.

👉🏼 Taking simple, proactive, actionable strategies to protect your heart now is the real flex.

It’s the 5th slide for me.⁠
⁠
Read through this carasoul post to understand why blood pressure can shift during menopause—and why it’s not inevitable. Understanding these changes is an opportunity to take action, reduce your long-term heart disease risk, and encourages you to start checking your blood pressure at home.⁠
⁠
🩷 Instead of thinking this is unavoidable, use this knowledge to take control of your heart health!⁠

I want to share an empowering story about my 56-year-old client to help you.

Six months ago, she got a coronary calcium score of 0.

But another often overlooked finding popped up:
👉 Aortic root dilation measuring 4.1 cm.
She was told, “We’ll just monitor it.”

Monitoring matters. Truly. But stopping there doesn’t sit right with me.

The aortic root is the first portion of the aorta, the main artery from the heart to body. At 4.1 cm, it’s enlarged beyond what we’d expect. Not usually an emergency, but it’s a structural change in a high-pressure vessel — and vessels respond to the internal environment we create.

Yes, surveillance imaging is important.
👉 But the time between scans is an opportunity.

We looked at her full picture — blood pressure, waist, fitness, inflammation, stress, gut, sleep — and treated it as a cardiometabolic issue, not just a number.

Six months later:
❤️ Aortic root improved: 4.1 → 3.8 cm
❤️ Waist cm down 4 inches
❤️ BP 110/70 with reduced meds
❤️ Energy up
❤️ Cardiorespiratory fitness improved
❤️ Digestion normalized — less bloating, daily type 4 bowel movements

A calcium score of 0 is reassuring for calcified plaque, but doesn’t assess non-calcified plaque (which is more unstable and susceptible to rupture), smaller vessels (often where women develop plaque), or other areas like carotids — and it doesn’t eliminate cardiovascular risk.

When an aortic root dilation is found, “monitor” shouldn’t mean “do nothing.” It should mean:
👉 What drives pressure on the vessel wall?
👉 How can we optimize vascular health?
👉 What can we strengthen before the next scan?

You have more influence over your vascular trajectory than you may realize.

If your report shows “aortic root dilation” and you’re told to watch it, use that window wisely. Monitoring is a strategy — but should include a proactive approach between scans.

👉 Share with someone who needs to know “wait and see” doesn’t mean “sit and worry.”

Women are not just smaller men and heart disease can look different in ways that are not mysterious.

Take MINOCA, myocardial infarction with non‑obstructive coronary arteries. It means your heart shows injury, like elevated troponin or ECG changes, but standard imaging does not show a major blockage. It is often missed because the causes are not obvious on routine tests.

For many, especially women and younger adults, the issue can be how arteries function, not just whether they are clogged. This can include tiny vessels not delivering blood properly, temporary artery spasms, small plaque changes that do not create obvious narrowing, spontaneous coronary artery dissection, or brief periods when the heart’s oxygen demand exceeds supply.

💡 MINOCA is not ‘mild’—it carries a meaningful risk of future events, so follow‑up and prevention still matter!!

Women’s symptoms can be different and sometimes less obvious than classic chest pain. That is why heart events in women are more likely to be misdiagnosed as stress, anxiety, or indigestion.

Symptoms can include shortness of breath, unusual fatigue or sudden exhaustion, nausea or vomiting, dizziness or lightheadedness, discomfort in the jaw, neck, shoulders, or upper back, indigestion or heartburn‑like sensations, mild or intermittent chest pressure rather than crushing chest pain, and sweating or cold clammy skin. Recognizing these differences is crucial for early diagnosis and proper care.

Here is the empowering part: This is not meant to scare you. It is to give you tools to advocate for yourself.

✅ Your gut and instincts matter. "It is just anxiety" is not a diagnosis.

✅ You have the right to ask for advanced imaging, microvascular testing, and a plan tailored to your heart.

Understanding the science gives you the knowledge and language to advocate for yourself — so you can be seen, believed, and treated properly!

👉🏼 Women are more likely than men to experience MINOCA, but men can too. Knowing this helps everyone get better care.

✅ Takeaway: Trust your instincts. Speak up. Advocate for yourself.

“I eat clean. I don’t eat sugar or processed food… so why do I have plaque or a high calcium score?”⁠
⁠
I hear this all the time. ❤️⁠
⁠
And I want you to know — if this is you, you didn’t “fail.”⁠
⁠
Many of my clients were doing what they believed was a healthy, clean diet… yet they were still facing high LDL, elevated triglycerides, fatty liver, high blood pressure, or early signs of heart disease.⁠
⁠
Here’s what most people aren’t told:⁠
⁠
- Heart health isn’t just about avoiding certain foods.⁠
- It’s about nutrient sufficiency, metabolic balance, and addressing the underlying biology that drives plaque development.⁠
⁠
You can eat “clean” and still:⁠
• Undereat key nutrients⁠
• Have blood sugar swings⁠
• Struggle with inflammation⁠
• Produce excess apoB particles⁠
• Experience vascular dysfunction⁠
⁠
❤️ True cardiovascular protection comes from giving your body the right nutrients, in the right balance, to stabilize plaque, support endothelial health, and lower inflammatory burden.⁠
⁠
As a cardiovascular dietitian with 14+ years of experience, I’ve helped thousands move from confusion and fear to clarity and measurable improvement — and I now teach this inside my 6-week group program, Optimize.⁠
⁠
Inside Optimize, we focus on how to:⁠
⁠
✔ Normalize blood sugar and insulin⁠
✔ Lower LDL, apoB, and hsCRP⁠
✔ Reduce oxidative stress and inflammation⁠
✔ Improve endothelial function⁠
✔ Decrease overall cardiovascular risk⁠
⁠
We don’t just talk theory — I show you how to implement this in real life so the changes actually stick.⁠
⁠
We begin tomorrow (Friday, Feb 20), and the next group won’t open again until July.⁠
⁠
If you’ve been doing “everything right” but still aren’t seeing the results you want — this is exactly who Optimize was built for.⁠
⁠
Enrollment is open with 2 spots remaining!⁠
Comment OPTIMIZE or visit my website for details.⁠
⁠
And if you’re unsure whether it’s the right fit, send me a message. I’m always happy to talk it through so you can make a confident decision.⁠
⁠
You don’t have to figure this out alone. ❤️⁠
⁠

I’ve been a preventive cardiology dietitian for over 14+ years, and one thing is clear:

If you’re not addressing inflammation, you’re missing a major driver of heart disease.

Because heart disease isn’t just a plumbing problem.�It’s an inflammatory process.

Chronic, low-grade inflammation contributes to:�
• Plaque formation
• Plaque instability�
• Endothelial dysfunction
• Increased clot risk�
• Heart failure
• Abdominal aortic aneurysms

You can have “normal” cholesterol and still have active arterial inflammation.

And when we ignore that piece, we miss a big piece of the puzzle. 🧩

Why does this matter?�
Because inflamed arteries are more vulnerable.�
Because unstable plaque is more dangerous.�
Because lowering a number without improving the inflammatory environment doesn’t fully reduce risk.

✨ Week 1 of Optimize (Feb 20th) dives deep into inflammation — what it is, why it matters for your heart, and how to address it through science-based nutrition that fits your lifestyle and food preferences.

Join me, I would truly love to support you on your heart health journey.

I’ve been running Optimize for years, and almost every cohort someone asks:

“Michelle, my only issue is high cholesterol… can I just get Week 5?”

Week 5 inside Optimize is where we deep dive into atherogenic cholesterol — why it matters and how to lower it strategically using targeted, science-based nutrition.

But here’s the thing: We shouldn’t care about cholesterol in isolation.

We care about reducing plaque progression, inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and ultimately lowering heart attack and stroke risk.

And that requires the foundation built in Weeks 1–4 — so that when we address atherogenic cholesterol in Week 5, it’s done in the full context of prevention.

✨ Optimize starts February 20th. Spots are intentionally limited to keep this a high-touch, small community experience.

The next cohort isn’t until July.

If you’re serious about prevention — whether you’re working to prevent a first event or reduce the risk of a second or even third — take proactive action to manage and prevent heart disease and its complications.
