Welcome to the MyBuddyGreen podcast. I'm Jason Wackib, founder and co-CEO of MyBuddyGreen and your host.

Hey everyone, we are in for a treat as we have one of my all-time favorite people,

my own personal doctor, the one and only New York Times best-selling author, Dr. Frank Litman,

back on the show, and this is a show that is near and dear to my heart, literally.

I'm going to start with my backstory for those unfamiliar heart disease runs in my family.

My father died from heart disease at age 47. I'm actually age 47 right now,

and a couple of years ago, you know, in working with Frank, we wanted to get a little bit more serious

around testing. And so I'll never forget it was December 2017 because our oldest daughter

was about to get baptized. And I got a call from Frank after we did all these tests,

I did like 28 miles of blood. And one of one of the results my homocysteine was wildly high.

Is there a medication? And Frank said, no, you're not methinating properly. And he messengered

me over a couple of supplements, B vitamins, folate, botan, messengered me over. I knew it was

serious. Like, he didn't just FedEx it. Like, we're in New York, messengered it over. And

over the course of a couple of months, I went from 63. First, I went down to 23 over 30 days,

then in the 12 range, which I'm in that range today. And it was through that experience.
