Excellent conversation with Dr. Ross Walker Cardiologist - who has performed over 50,000 Coronary CT Scans to get that crucial CAC score for his patients. Do you think someone who worked with so much data from actually measuring the heart disease properly - knows what the hell causes it? Yes you're correct - he damn well does! Enjoy this conversation with one of the top experts in preventative cardiology - he puts most of them to shame :-)

| 0:00.0 | But I've got a 58-year-old woman whose lifelong cholesterol is 9.5 millimoles per litre. |
| 0:06.2 | And she tried statins, couldn't lift her arms after a few days because of the severe |
| 0:10.7 | myalgia. |
| 0:11.8 | And she saw doctors, if you don't take Lipitor, you're going to die. |
| 0:15.2 | All this scaremongering nonsense that you get all the time. |
| 0:18.7 | She came to see me, sent her downstairs for a calcium score |
| 0:21.8 | zero. So in her case, her cholesterol wasn't spilling into her arteries. So for the next eight |
| 0:27.8 | years, every scaremongering doctor said, if you don't take Lipitor, you're going to die. Rubbish, |
| 0:33.4 | rubbish, rubbish. So she came back to see me eight years later for another calcium score. |
| 0:39.0 | Cholesterol is still 9.5 because it's all genetic, as you know, and familial hyperclostrolemia. |
| 0:43.5 | And a calcium score was still zero. |

| 1:14.1 | Really looking forward to today's conversation. |
| 1:18.4 | I'm with Dr. Ross Walker, who's a preventative health expert in Australia, |
| 1:24.3 | discovered calcium scanning decades ago and has carried out an enormous number of scans and has gained huge insights into the technology. |
| 1:29.3 | So great to meet you, Ross. |
| 1:34.8 | Great to talk to you, I would. Thank you very much for having me on the show. Oh, I'm delighted to have you on because we both have a mutual friend who was not 100% convinced with the high |
