What People Are Saying About Heart Smart for Women

We have been advocates for womens health for many years. Our goal is to ensure that all women are familiar with the fact that heart disease is different in women. Women should have access to the knowledge, the services and the tools to live long, healthy lives. Heart Smart for Women is an important resource for women of all ages who want to take the journey to living a more heart-healthy life. With real-life, practical advice on everything from nutrition information to sleep habits and stress management to finding a true physician partner, Heart Smart for Women teaches women how to be proactive about their health, and take the small steps that will have a huge impact on their heart health.

Heart Smart for Women is a must read for women as well as their health care professionals. The book provides a roadmap for simple lifestyle changes that, as physicians, we should all be recommending to the women in our care. It is an armamentarium for members of the health care community who want to ensure that their female patients are living the most heart-healthy life possible. An added benefit is that because women are the drivers of overall family health, women following the six-week program will likely make their entire families healthier.

Thirteen years ago, I experienced a rare form of heart attack. My successful recovery was due to two brilliant and dedicated women cardiologists Dr. Stacey Rosen and Dr. Jennifer Mieres. They each partnered with me and played an important role, guiding and teaching me how to live a heart-healthy life, all of which is now captured in this wonderful book, Heart Smart for Women . Their real and commonsense suggestions, their thoughtfulness and their way of just simply encouraging and LOVING me brought me to my happy place. I now pay it forward, inspired and mentored by Drs. Rosen and Mieres, as a WomenHeart Champion, facilitating a support group for women living with or at risk of heart disease.
