Episode Summary:
In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into the
often-overlooked cornerstone of women’s health: the cardiovascular
system. Join host Dr. Robyn Benson for a powerful conversation with
Andie Crosby, President of Calroy Health Sciences, as they expose
why your heart—and more specifically, your blood vessels—should be
the first place you look when it comes to living a longer, more
vibrant life.
Guest Bio:
Andie Crosby has over 30 years’ marketing and business
development experience working with iconic brands such as Nike,
Apple, Gap, Proctor & Gamble and magazines such as Rolling Stone,
Glamour, and Vanity Fair. In 2010, her personal interest in health
and wellness converged with an opportunity to build and lead the
first marketing team at The Institute for Functional Medicine
(IFM). She was the driving force behind a 13x increase in the
number of clinicians trained by IFM and a resulting surge in
awareness and demand for functional medicine amongst both patients
and practitioners. She went on to run the Strategic Partnerships
and Innovations team working across the ecosystem to create and
nurture alliances to further the adoption of functional
medicine.

“Vascular Health Is Foundational Health. Every organ
and system in your body relies upon the oxygen, nutrients, and
other molecules delivered by your vascular system. Since vascular
health underpins overall health, taking care of your vascular
health can change your life.”

endothelial glycocalyx—a microscopic, life-sustaining structure
that’s ground zero for your vascular integrity, inflammation
response, and nutrient delivery
· How nitric oxide supports
energy, sexual vitality, and even skin radiance—and what damages
your ability to produce it naturally
· Simple, science-backed
strategies to support heart health proactively, not
reactively
· This is the conversation every
woman needs to hear—whether you’re optimizing for performance,
preventing disease, or simply refusing to age on autopilot.

Quotes:
“Your vascular system is the foundation of your overall
health. There are 60,000 miles of blood vessels in your body. They
supply oxygen and essential nutrients to every organ in your body
and carry away toxic waste. If you’re looking for a long and
healthy life, taking care of your vascular system must be a top
priority.”
“Many women are recognizing the importance of physical
activity for their cardiovascular health.”
“Menopausal Women have greater challenges to maintaining their
vascular health due to hormonal shifts.”
“Women preparing for the menopause transition, who would like
to live a preventative lifestyle consider eating an
anti-inflammatory diet, reducing insulin resistance and visceral
fat, incorporating strength, aerobic, and flexibility training as
rotation in their weekly exercises, and investing in sleep
comfort.”
"The endothelial glycocalyx is really one of the most
important and intensely researched areas in human health in years."
