(3:00) The problem with Google is that you can "Google yourself right," so you can always find confirmation bias. There is a growing awareness of what constitutes a "clean" product. (17:00) For example, Anna's spices do not have fillers, preservatives, or anti-caking agents. Vinnie shares a story about a recent consultation. (28:00) CAC scans (calcium score test) are a great guide to see if heart disease will be an issue for you. Repatha was recommended even though the patient's numbers were great, and his calcium score was zero. Consider exploring natural supplements and lifestyle changes to manage cholesterol. The Cholesterol Code movie by Dave Feldman provides good information on cholesterol levels and the benefits of a low-carb diet. Anna goes over some bloodwork numbers and wants to discuss with her doctor. (50:00) Remember that the number ranges given in the results are representative of the general population. (52:00) It is often recommended to take CoQ10 alongside a statin. Statins deplete CoQ10, which can lead to muscle damage. Anna's products are now linked to PureVitamin Club's website.
