Heart Hub Podcast

Heart disease is the single biggest killer of women in New Zealand, yet it is still often thought of as a male health issue. Join Heart Foundation Head of Prevention Justine Munro, Heart Foundation Hynds Senior Research Fellow Dr Nikki Earle, and Waipapa Taumata Rau health data scientist, Associate Professor Katrina Poppe as they discuss women’s heart health. They unpack common myths, warning signs that can be missed, and what new research is revealing about women’s heart disease risk from pregnancy through to later life.

Join Justine Munro, Heart Foundation Head of Prevention and Dave Monro, registered dietitian and Heart Foundation Chief Advisor Food and Nutrition as they talk ultra-processed foods and their impact on heart health. Dave and Justine look beyond the headlines, explain why not all processed foods are equal, and share practical ways to make heart-healthier choices without losing sight of taste, convenience, culture or cost.
