The Provider Series: Christian Davis, NP on Hormones & Heart Health: What Your Symptoms May Be Telling You
In this episode of The Provider Series, Christian Davis, NP, from our Charlottesville office, joins to discuss one of the most important and often overlooked topics in women’s health: cardiovascular risk.
Heart disease develops over decades and remains the leading cause of death in women. Yet many don’t realize how closely it is tied to hormone health.
Christian explains how optimized hormones support the body’s natural ability to protect the heart. When hormones are balanced, they help maintain healthy blood flow, metabolism, and vascular function, helping to reduce long-term cardiovascular risk. When hormones decline, factors like chronic inflammation, poor sleep, and stress can begin to disrupt that protection.
Whether you are focused on prevention or looking for answers to ongoing symptoms, this episode offers clarity, education, and a new perspective on what true heart health looks like.
