    Diana has a lengthy history of females with heart-disease in her family. Five of her dads sisters all died from it. Two before the age of forty. The fact that they were her dads half sisters, helps to cut any heredity factor down; but, then when her own father had a coronary at age 53 (Diana’s age now) “It perked the family up!” she said. He lived on to succum to colon cancer at 63. Diana has a cousin who is fifteen years older than she is who has been living, and as Diana says, LIVING with heart disease for the last thirty years. “She was a Corporate wife, living all over the world, raised two kids, and she still can out talk me! This is her favorite cousin, Tootsie, (family nickname) “Heart disease is not a death sentence. You learn what you can and can’t do and then don’t do it! Be smart, eat, exercise, and keep busy!” says Tootsie. Ledleys' (her real name) mother died from heart disease she was only forty-eight years old.

    Some funny but serious issues Diana Covers in her sensational presentation on Women and Wellness:
    • How to talk to your Doctor. "Tell him, sit down! And then pull out you list of questions and concerns. Will he be surprised when you inform him that every time he checks his watch you're adding another ailment."
    • Visits to the O.B.G.Y.N. "Sounds like a character from Star Wars!" They keep your medical records on a computer – a computer than any teenage boy can hack into. which explains how my x-rays ended up on a web site called “Menopausal women gone wild!”
    • Early Detection: "One lump or two is not just about sugar." Diana shares her scares with breast and thyroid cancer. Thanks to Early detection she is totally healthy.
    • Money and Stress: “Goodness, Gracious, I’m Overdrawn!” I’ve got a nice relaxing picture on my checks. It's a picture of me holding enough money to cover it!
    • Smoking: A way to stop. What can work for you?
    • Prescriptions: How to get the medications which will work the best, without looking crazy or like a hypochondriac.
    • Pain Management: "Ouch is just another word for, 'you're gonna feel a little pressure..."
    • Prescription Drug Cost: ‘I discovered my dog gets prescribed the same medicine I do. I dropped my Health Insurance and got pet insurance! It’s $39 a month and all the Kibble I can eat!”
