Welcome back to Part 3 of our podcast looking at how heart attacks in women can differ from heart attacks in men. This is a crucial thing to know. In Part 1, we discussed the symptoms of a heart attack in women. It’s not always crushing chest pain. It could be nausea, dizziness or quick-onset fatigue. It’s important to know these things.†
Let’s discuss coenzyme Q10. When CoQ10 is converted to its active form, ubiquinol, it allows you to use oxygen and calories for energy. This is involved with your brain, heart and every other system in the body. All the energy in your body requires CoQ10, but it has to be converted into ubiquinol for that to happen.†
Diabetics have a terrible time converting CoQ10 into ubiquinol, so they are much better off using a ubiquinol supplement. As you grow older, the level of ubiquinol in your body declines because it gets increasingly more difficult to convert CoQ10 into ubiquinol. This lack of ubiquinol impacts your muscles, including your heart muscle. Your heart is pumping blood 100,000 times a day, so it needs a lot of energy. Without ubiquinol, there’s a lot of stress in the heart.†
WHY COENZYME Q10 UBIQUINOL IS SO IMPORTANT – INVITE HEALTH PODCAST, EPISODE 233. Listen Now>>
There have been many studies looking at the role of ubiquinol in heart health. One particular study found that when they gave elderly people ubiquinol, it actually cut down on the number of both men and women who died as a consequence of something wrong with their heart like heart failure, heart attack or sudden cardiac death. When you increase the amount of ubiquinol in the heart, you take a lot of pressure off of it. This means your heart is less likely to go into an arrhythmia, have a heart seizure or suffer a heart attack.†
Here are some things you should look out for. Women more commonly have a condition called spontaneous coronary artery dissection. This occurs when one of the blood vessels in the heart tears. That can block your blood flow and can lead to really severe chest pain. It can feel like a heart attack. Women are more likely to have this issue, especially soon after pregnancy.†
There are things that can help improve the health of your arteries, including fish oils, cocoa, green tea and magnesium. Eating fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as nuts, can also be beneficial.†

Did you know that people who have already suffered a heart attack are more prone to having a second one? The good news is that there are nutrients that can help promote the strength and health of your heart.
Many people consider stabbing chest pain to be the main heart attack symptom, but the truth is this can vary, especially in women. It’s important to be aware of the different ways heart attacks can present themselves in women that can be vastly different from how they present in men.
hypoglycemia

I often speak about elevated blood glucose in the setting of metabolic syndrome and Type 2 diabetes. Today, I want to talk a little bit about hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar levels. This is actually really, really common. Oftentimes, people are unaware of the fact that diabetes is the primary reason as to why people can experience low blood glucose.†
Hypoglycemia is also known as low blood glucose. This occurs when the level of sugar in your blood drops below what is actually healthy for you. For many people who have diabetes, this usually happens when their blood glucose drops below 70, but this can vary from one person to the next.†
We know that people who have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes and are taking insulin or some other diabetic medications are very prone to these bouts of hypoglycemia. They can have a whole slew of different symptoms that can actually lead to them going to the emergency room. Maybe they feel tired, dizzy, jittery or shaky. Maybe they feel like their heart is beating too fast or has an abnormal rhythm to it. They may get a headache. Some people may even have a problem with speaking clearly. In very severe cases, people may even end up with seizures or loss of consciousness. This is really, really problematic.†
Hypoglycemia affects more than just diabetics. We can also look at people who have PCOS or advanced liver or kidney disease. There are many different causative reasons as to why your blood glucose can be thrown off. We can look at adrenal dysfunction. Certain medications can also contribute to this.†

We have to look at what we can be doing long-term to help support healthy levels of sugar in the blood. We can look at how we can slow the rate of sugar spiking in the blood. Fiber can help support this. Fiber is wonderful when it comes to slowing the rate of carbohydrate absorption. It’s important to pick healthy foods like fruits and vegetables that are high in fiber.†
We can also look at other nutrients that can be beneficial. White kidney bean extract, which is found in our Phase 2Ⓡ Starch & Carb Neutralizer formulation, helps to impede alpha-amylase. Alpha-amylase is the enzyme that’s responsible for breaking down those sugars, so it’s helping to slow that rate of glucose being spiked up.†
