Keeping Hearts in Motion in a GLP-1 Era

December 15, 2025

One in five deaths in the U.S. is the result of heart disease, yet most of us aren’t doing enough to prevent it. Regular physical activity is proven to slash risk, but more than half of US adults fall short of recommended guidelines. With weight-loss medications on the rise, could exercise take an even bigger back seat?

In this episode, Dr. Tamanna Singh, clinical and sports cardiologist, explains how “movement snacks,” plant‑forward nutrition, and a better understanding of family history and medical literacy can work together to reduce cardiovascular risk by up to 80%. The episode also explores what GLP‑1s mean for long‑term health, when exercise is risky and why women’s heart health and weight‑bearing activity deserve special attention, offering critical insights for employers aiming to create safer, more supportive workplaces.
