Show Notes:

0:00 Intro
1:30 Up to 95% of people with cardiac disease are insulin resistant.
4:45 Processed foods and high carbs are the two primary drivers of metabolic disease, the
primary driver of heart disease.
6:53 Insulin resistance damages blood vessels.
11:18 Exercise is indirectly helpful in preventing atherosclerosis.
13:10 The better you can maintain muscle as you age, the better you can deal with the aging
process.
14:30 It is possible to reverse atherosclerosis.
16:30 Tests: coronary artery calcium scan (CAC) and coronary CT angiogram (CCTA).
18:30 People in their 30s and 40s now end up on the cardiac operating table.
20:30 High LDL may not be dangerous in a person who is metabolically healthy.
21:00 The quality of your LDL particles is important.
22:54 90% of adults are metabolically unhealthy, so their high LDL is likely dangerous.
24:05 Statin use for over 10 years increases your risk of developing insulin resistance and
type 2 diabetes, primary drivers of heart disease.
26:30 Inflammation is an important part of the development of heart disease.
27:40 High blood pressure root cause is insulin resistance/metabolic disease.
31:41 Ferritin testing measures total body iron stores. It is also an inflammation marker.
35:50 Linoleic acid LDL oxidation hypothesis
37:30 Plant-based diets
40:25 Lowering your intake of omega 6 improves your omega 3 index.
41:10 Low vitamin D
42:00 Sun exposure has been misunderstood.
44:10 Triglycerides is a higher risk than LDL.
48:30 Bioidentical hormones are superior to synthetic.
50:03 Low testosterone is a risk factor for heart disease.
53:10 Heart surgery does not fix the underlying problem.

0:00.0	is there anything that we can do to reverse to atherosclerosis, particularly of the corner
0:03.7	arteries.
0:04.7	Yeah, so reversal of atherosclerosis is a fairly controversial topic, I'll say, and a lot of it comes
0:11.8	down to how are you measuring the atherosclerosis. So we can look at something like a
0:16.4	coronary artery calcium scan which I think is the best screening test for atherosgrotic heart disease. And you know whether or not you can actually reverse
0:27.2	coronary calcium, whether you can lower coronary artery calcium scores is controversial but I've seen it happen in practice. So it is
0:38.4	possible and then when you go beyond that and if you look at something like a coronary CT angigram,
0:45.3	which is going to show you both soft plaque and calcified plaque, you have more capacity, it seems, to reverse the non-calcified soft plaque than you do the
0:57.8	calcified plaque. So I do think reversal of heart disease is possible. Just conceptually I think that you know the body
1:07.5	can heal itself so why wouldn't it be able to heal this damage when it can heal
1:11.4	all of other sorts of damage.
1:13.0	Today's
1:17.0	Today's
1:18.0	The Today's show with Dr. Philovidia, who's by the way a cardiovascular surgeon and this is a phenomenal discussion
1:30.0	probably one of the most comprehensive conversations we've ever had on all things
1:33.6	cardiovascular and metabolic health. I really really hope you enjoy this episode
1:37.4	brought to you by myoscience nutrition because we're talking so much about the
1:41.3	importance of metabolic health you need to know
1:43.8	about burbarine hydrochloride. This is a natural product that has been used in
1:47.4	traditional Chinese medicine for the better part of 3,000 years. What I love
1:51.2	about burbarine is it's a natural appetite suppressant and many of us
1:54.6	derail our metabolic health quest and journey by consuming some junk food,
