Watch the LIVE CHAT that took place on February 2 at 3PM EST and get on the road to a happier, healthier you.

Heart disease is still the number one killer in the United States, more than all cancers combined, resulting in 2,200 deaths a day. Thirty-eight percent of adults score in the ‘poor’ range for at least three out of seven risk factors. Americans are more obese and spending more money than ever before on treatment of cardiovascular disease, according to the AHA’s 2012 “Heart Disease and Stroke Statistical Survey.”

You can take control of your heart health and get started on the road to a happier and healthier you. “Through education, community, and action, we can improve our own quality of life and the quality of life for our family, friends, and neighbors. I began my Healthy Heart Challenge to bring support and initiative to a largely preventable issue plaguing our country,” says Dr. Goldberg.

Improving your heart health can seem like a difficult goal, but by making simple lifestyle changes you can decrease risk factors by up to 80 percent. You’ll look better, feel better and live longer. We’ll help!
