February is Heart Health Month, and it is one of the most important times of the year to check in with your body. Heart disease is the #1 killer of women, with cardiovascular diseases claiming more lives than all cancers and accidents combined. Yet many early symptoms look different in women and are often mistaken for stress, fatigue, or hormonal changes.

Your heart health is shaped by every stage of your life — pregnancy, hormones, stress, menopause, and even autoimmune conditions. Understanding these connections can help you protect your long‑term wellbeing.
