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.

February is National Cancer Prevention Month, a reminder that prevention is about showing up for your health, day after day.✨

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.

Sheri Harrison, MD, shares her why:

“I wear red to acknowledge that heart disease is the number one killer of women, yet it remains unrecognized by many. I wear red to support my female patients who have experienced heart disease. I also wear red to remind women to pay attention to their bodies, know their numbers, manage their risk factors and know that we as physicians care deeply and are here to support them throughout their healthcare journey.”

Whether it’s checking your blood pressure, reviewing recent lab work or learning about lesser-known tests like Lp(a), a few minutes of awareness can make a meaningful difference.

If something feels off or you have questions about your heart health, a primary care provider or cardiologist can help guide next steps.

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. 🔎

Public speaking anxiety affects about 40% of people, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. 🎤❌

A racing heart, shaky hands or a tight chest are all driven by adrenaline. During American Heart Month, it is important to understand how heart health and everyday stress connect.

Beta blockers are medications traditionally used to treat heart conditions. In some cases, they are prescribed off label to help manage the physical symptoms of performance anxiety by limiting adrenaline’s effects on the body. They are not anti-anxiety medications and are not right for everyone, which is why medical guidance matters.

Swipe through to learn how beta blockers work, when they may be considered and what to know before talking with a healthcare provider. 🫀

What is your p**p trying to tell you? 💩👀

Believe it or not, your bathroom habits can reveal a *lot* about your digestive health. From hydration and fiber intake to how your gut is functioning overall, your stool is sending signals every day.

In this video, Dr. Brian Monahan breaks down the Bristol Stool Chart — a simple, clinical tool doctors use to help understand what’s normal, what’s not and when it might be time to check in with your doctor.

Because sometimes the healthiest conversations start with the things we don’t usually talk about.
