Summary

This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers, Cozy Earth, and Rupa Health. Insulin resistance is a main driver of cardiovascular disease that we don’t hear enough about. Paying attention to our sugar and starch intake, eating plenty of healthy fats and vegetables, and getting enough exercise can all dramatically improve our insulin sensitivity and reduce our risk of heart disease and other metabolic issues. For the next few weeks, I’ll be featuring in-depth episodes from my Longevity Roadmap docu-series. Today, we’re talking all about heart health. Throughout this episode, you’ll learn everything you need to know about preventing and treating cardiovascular disease from a functional perspective, from innovative testing to at-home lifestyle changes. To get all of my longevity tips, sign up for my weekly Longevity newsletter at drhyman.com/longevity. In this series, I am joined by my colleagues at The UltraWellness Center: Elizabeth Boham, MD, MS, RD, Medical Director and Physician; Todd LePine, MD, Physician; and George Papanicolaou, DO, Physician.
