Summary

Episode 2576 - On this Friday's show, Vinnie Tortorich welcomes Dr. Bret Scher, and they discuss better indicators for heart health, effecting change in government, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/12/better-indicators-dr-bret-scher-episode-2576 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Better Indicators Dr. Bret Scher joins Vinnie today to discuss cholesterol, plaque, and metabolic health. (2:00) He is a cardiologist and an expert on cholesterol and heart health. People ask Vinnie all the time about cholesterol numbers. (4:00) Unfortunately, many doctors are forced to practice “cookbook medicine” because of the standards they must follow. (6:00) LDL cholesterol is not a stand-alone marker. (13:45) The best predictor of plaque is plaque, not so much LDL. Calcium scores can help determine plaque buildup; there are different things to look for. What numbers in a calcium score are a concern? (23:00) There are multiple considerations. Can you lower your calcium score? (28:00) Dr Scher explains better markers for testing plaque buildup. (31:00) They discuss supplementation and blood thinners—be cautious! (33:00) The Third Rail RFK Jr— will he be able to effect change? (35:30) Why is it shocking for someone to come in and say that we need to focus on health? Whatever your political background, it should be agreed upon that the health of society matters. (39:00) Big Food and the relationship to promoting things like cereals are an example. A healthier food system can save lives. John F. Kennedy, Jr. started the Presidential Physical Fitness Test for Schools in the 1960s. (41:00) Vinnie would even volunteer to get real fitness programs back into school. We are not helping kids by not making them exercise. (46:00) Poor nutrition and lack of fitness are what weigh down society. (47:00) Metabolic health and mental health are linked as well.
