Escape the Silent Killers Stalking You
Most women don't know that breast cancer isn't their worst enemy. Two silent stalkers, heart disease and stroke, kill two of every five women, largely due to our speed-obsessed, stressed, unhealthy lifestyles. Every minute, we lose one woman to heart disease or stroke in the US, and two-thirds of them had no prior symptoms. It's happening to younger and younger women—women in their forties, thirties, even twenties.
Why are we losing this battle? Because women have different symptoms from men—subtle, easily-overlooked symptoms—that many women, and their doctors, don’t know. A Woman's Guide to Saving Her Own Life empowers women to take control of their life and health.
Mellanie True Hills, author of A Woman's Guide to Saving Her Own Life, almost died in emergency heart surgery. She didn’t even have the traditional heart attack risk factors—she was simply overweight and overstressed, just like many women today. As a high-tech road warrior with an extreme job and an "always-on" lifestyle, she almost died from stress. Shockingly, more than half of all executives will die from stress-related illnesses. Many women are headed for this same train wreck, but the secrets that saved Mellanie could save them, too.
Knowing what to do can save your life! This guidebook helps you recognize the blinking red warning lights of your health and evade these silent killers at any age. This approachable, easy-to-read book provides explanations, tools, assessments, and five easily-implemented steps to:
