JoAnn didn’t go to the doctor because she felt sick. In fact, she felt perfectly fine. Like many women in The Villages® and Lake County, Florida, she only scheduled her appointment because her insurance required a primary care visit.
“If I didn’t go, I probably wouldn’t be here,” JoAnn shared in our latest podcast episode. During that routine visit, her doctor heard a heart murmur that JoAnn never knew she had. It wasn’t a slow realization; it was a sudden discovery of a life-threatening condition called aortic stenosis.
As we’ve discussed before, heart disease is a “silent” threat. JoAnn’s aortic valve had narrowed to a “pinhole,” forcing her heart to struggle just to pump blood. Yet, she had no idea. Being the “CEO of your health” means taking these routine opportunities—even the ones that feel like a chore—and using them to dig deeper.
