Heart Disease in Women Over 40: 3 Life-Saving Tests

September 8, 2025

Heart disease kills more women than all cancers combined — yet too many women are misdiagnosed or dismissed until it’s too late. I’m Dr. Georgine Nanos, at Kind Health Group in Encinitas, San Diego, and I’m sharing the three most dangerous blind spots in women’s cardiac care — and how you can protect yourself. 


 In this video, you’ll learn: 

  • Why “good cholesterol” isn’t always protective (it happened to me personally) 
  • The genetic marker 1 in 5 women carry but rarely get tested for 
  • Why traditional stress tests miss early heart disease in women 
  • The 3 life-saving steps every woman over 40 should take


This isn’t about fear. It’s about empowerment. Heart disease in women is preventable when you know what to look for.

Dr. Heather Volpe trained at Cedars-Sinai and UCLA, spent 15 years in traditional allergy and immunology, and kept seeing the same thing: patients who looked fine on paper but weren't getting better. That pattern led her to found Synergy O3 in Encinitas, where she now practices integrative medicine with a focus on ozone dialysis therapy and the upstream role of inflammation in chronic disease. In this episode, she joins Dr. Georgine Nanos to challenge the clean line between traditional and alternative medicine — and make a case for why that line was never as useful as we thought.
