Val Conley is a passionate advocate for lifestyle intervention, including a plant-based diet, as the foundation for blood clot prevention and recovery for women.
Drawing from her own experience as a multiple pulmonary embolism survivor, she made it her mission to learn about the often overlooked lifestyle risk factors linked to blood clots.
With the approval and encourgement of her care team, she applied that knowledge to her own life to improve her cardiovascular health – including a 92lb weightloss.
Navigating health care as a blood clot survivor, she learned the importance of becoming a confident co-partner in her recovery.
Especially in women’s health care topics, like menopause.
Where women with a history of blood clots and genetic dispositions are often excluded from clinical research for hormone therapy, requiring individualized care adapted from general guidelines.
Now, she shares her story and expertise with other women and health care providers to highlight the pivotal role of lifestyle habits and individualized, patient-centered care as the foundation for blood clot prevention and recovery.
Together, we can positively impact blood clot prevention and recovery management for women – through knowledge, empowerment, and sustainable lifestyle changes.
