Today, I am honored to introduce you to Dr. Danielle Bellardo.

Danielle is one of the nation's leading cardiologists.

Don't even, don't do it.

You're one of the nation's leading cardiologist, chair of the American Society for Preventative

Cardiology's nutrition committee, and is one of the most brilliant, articulate, and passionate

individuals I've ever met.

Danielle is the founder of precision preventative cardiology, an outspoken advocate of blending

cutting-edge medical strategies with practical lifestyle changes like diet and exercise.

She loves animals, has an adorable dog, and is a fierce proponent of rescuing animals from shelters.

Danielle is someone I will reference when my daughters are looking for inspiration as they get older, and I am blessed to have her here with me today. Dr. Danielle Bellardo, welcome to the podcast. That is too nice of an intro. I'm so happy to be here with you. And for anyone listening, Jordan's been a huge inspiration to me too. He's the reason why I got into strength training. And I've just

loved following your work for years. So I'm so happy to be able to do this with you today.

The feeling is mutual. We're going to start off. Who are you? So that was a beautiful intro.

But yes, I'm Danielle. I live in Los Angeles. I'm a preventive cardiologist. So I focus on

cardiovascular disease prevention, cardio metabolic health, so things

like hypertension, weight management, as well as primary prevention of cardiovascular disease,

as well as secondary prevention. And I also have a big focus on evidence-based medicine and

trying to hopefully empower people through social media to understand how to look at

scientific evidence that's presented to them and evaluated critically and be able to navigate

the wild world of, you know, health information that's online these days.

You're doing an incredible job of it.

If you're not following Danielle, please go do that right now.

We'll put her social media handles all over and the show notes and everything.
