Heart health is something that is extremely important to me because heart disease runs in my family. My mom unfortunately lost her father at a very young age from a heart attack and not many people realize just how common heart disease is. Not only is it the leading cause of death in women in the United States but about 1 in 4 women die from heart disease in the U.S. every year… that is an alarmingly high rate if you ask me. There are so many contributing factors to this but a big one is high blood pressure along with diet and exercise. I played soccer all the way through college so I was always very fit but now that I am older and not playing, I know it is very important for me to still take care of my body. This is something I have been struggling a little with since having Mila. There never seems to be enough time in the day but I am really trying to prioritize my time better so I can dedicate time to working out and preparing healthy meals. I feel like it is that much more important for families with a history of heart disease to be healthy and take care of their bodies the best they can.
I am really excited for this event by Doctor On Demand to learn a little more about heart health and get an on-site screening! I’m definitely going to bring my parents so they can get checked too. If you’re not familiar with Doctor On Demand, it is a nationwide healthcare service that provides video visits with board-certified physicians, psychiatrists and licensed psychologists via smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers. I don’t know about you, but I think it is pretty genius and think it is so valuable that something like this exists! How many times have you tried to get into the doctor and they can’t see you right away? The average wait time to see a physician is three weeks. With Doctor On Demand, you can see a physician in just 5 minutes – 24/7, 365 days a year! You can download the Doctor On Demand app or visit www.doctorondemand.com, provide a list of their symptoms, and connect for a video visit within minutes. Prescriptions, if needed, are sent directly to the pharmacy of choice. Doctor On Demand physicians can also order lab work, allowing for the treatment of a broader range of conditions and chronic care management. Anyone can download the app and create an account on their smartphone or computer, with or without insurance. You can visit their website here and use promo code HEALTHYHEART for $25 off your next visit!
