Ep. 011 - A Healthy Heart

Welcome to Attorney Heart, the podcast focused on bringing awareness to and promoting attorney well-being!
Do you know the signs of a heart attack? Do you know the difference between a heart attack, a stroke, and an arrhythmia? Were you aware that women and men experience heart attacks differently?
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. On this episode Srinu Tapa is a Ph.D. candidate at UC Davis’ Biomedical Engineering Program and he has been incredibly passionate about studying cardiac and heart disease for many years.  On this episode you can expect to learn the following (among many other valuable tips!):
- Differences between heart attack, strokes, and arrhythmias
- Signs of a heart attack
- How stress causes you to overeat, not exercise, not sleep as well, use alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs and can lead to high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and heart disease
- The importance of your circadian rhythm (sleep pattern) and how it is directly related to hormone levels, metabolism, body temperature, blood pressure, and coordination
- The importance of monitoring emotional health
