Wendy and I talked for an hour about her goal to engage one million women in the "Take Your Health to Heart" challenge.  Click here to learn more about this opportunity to take better care of you and get information and inspiration on how to do it.  During our dialog, which was actually the intro to her series on how to get started on the challenge, Wendy told me plenty about the: Right foods to support heart health The most harmful foods The top 5 heart healthy foods and How to get started on a heart healthy plan today! Because this is an issue that's so important to the readers here at Midlife's A Trip, I got Wendy's permission to post the one hour audio of her intro here for you.  So put up your feet, sit back and listen to Wendy on taking your health to heart.     Karen Batchelor no
