Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death in women in New Zealand?

And that hormones play a huge role in heart health, especially around menopause and other times of change?

If you’d like to learn more about womens heart health, and become empowered to improve your heart health with a holistic yet science based approach please join us in online this February for our women’s healthy heart workshop!

In this 2 hour workshop, we’ll explore:

• how nutrition, lifestyle, movement, stress, sleep, environment and relationships impact on heart health
• why and how women’s hearts are so different to mens
• heart risk factors for women that you may not have been told about
• how stress, breathing, and our nervous system can affect heart symptoms (and what you can do about it)
• the role of different types of movement to reduce cardiovascular risk
• simple evidence based ways to optimise your own heart health
• how to reduce blood pressure or cholesterol naturally
• what common symptoms, such as palpitations, breathing problems, or fatigue, can mean, and how to improve them
• practical exercises to help breathing and movement

(If you can’t make the live event, it will be recorded, so make sure you sign up if you want to join us)

We’re super excited to be running this workshop again, it was one of our most popular evenings the last time we hosted it!

And for just $39 (plus booking fee), this might be the best investment you ever make 😊
