Heart attack prevention specialist Joel Kahn, M.D. — author of Dead Execs Don’t Get Bonuses — reveals the truth about standard heart-specific lab tests and bloodwork.
Here's what we talked about:
2:21 – Why heart disease is know as “the silent killer”, and just how many Americans are affected by it (many unknowingly).
6:32 – Coronary heart disease defined. How the heart takes care itself first and why that means you should take care of it, too.
10:44 – Surprising signs and symptoms of heart disease. Check those earlobes!
14:02 – Testing vs. common sense: why you might be getting a inaccurate clean bill of health with commonly ordered lab tests – and what you should be looking for instead.
18:14 – The calcium connection: when scoring a zero on a test is a GOOD thing!
23:32 – Why the best heart care tests are NOT covered by insurance?
25:44 – How old are your arteries? THIS test will tell you.
31:22 – The best way to eat for heart health.
39:21 – Why the American Heart Association isn’t making more aggressive recommendations to heart patients … and why Dr. Kahn IS.
41:17 – What “moderate” exercise really means and the reasons we need to stop thinking that if a little bit is good then a lot must be better.
44:51 – The many benefits of meditation and mind-body practices – in just 12 minutes a day!
48:09 – An unexpected effective therapy for your heart – and how you can do it on your own.

| 0:05.6 | Here's what's coming up. |
| 0:07.2 | You know, it's not a $5,000 to shoot. |
| 0:09.7 | Your hospitals aren't getting rich on it. |
| 0:11.7 | Physicians aren't getting rich in it. |
| 0:13.7 | And sadly, sometimes things that are not big profit centers are not the things |
| 0:17.8 | that I end up on the billboard in the hospital radio ad. |
| 0:20.2 | If you were to actually follow the I'm eating in the hospital cafeteria, your heart disease would get worse day by day. If you're looking to reverse a potential life-threatment problem with nutrition, it's not going to be playing around that. You're not going to be sticking your toe in the water. But I always tell people, if know, if you don't like broccoli, it tastes better than chemotherapy. |

| 1:23.4 | the exercise stress test, those tests, while good, also have a lot of false positives. |
| 1:29.0 | They're not as accurate as we would like them to be. A lot of people are walking out of the doctor's |
| 1:32.4 | office with a pat on the bat from their doctor saying, you know, everything's fine. |
| 1:36.1 | Your heart's good. But really it's not. So again, we talk about two tests that everybody |
| 1:41.0 | should go out and get in order to get a clear measure of what's going on in your heart. |
| 1:46.1 | We also talk about some lifestyle strategies as well and some other stuff. |
