Healing and Strengthening Your Heart

Dr. Heather Shenkman, a Los Angeles based cardiologist, is capable of performing complex angioplasties to open up clogged arteries of the heart, which can save the life of a heart attack victim. However, she would prefer to prevent heart disease in the first place. She focuses on the importance of a healthy lifestyle, helping her patients make permanent changes that will lead to better health and longevity. Dr. Shenkman talks with Joyce about exercise and nutrition for a healthy heart.
