Today on the Eat to Live podcast.

I'm kind of a doctor who minimizes the use of this kind of testing and just says, what do you need to test it? Just do the right thing.

So you're dumping visceral fats, dumping fat into the bloodstream, which then is causing high cholesterol?

Yes.

And is that why high cholesterol and like do high blood pressure go hand in hand?

It's true that taking high dose calcium supplements can increase calcifications in the joints

and in the heart.

And it's not a good thing. Hey, each live listeners. I am here with my dad, Dr. Furman.

And I'm here with my daughter, Jenna.

That's me. And today we're talking about how we could end heart disease. That's right.

You wrote the book, The End of Heart

Disease. That's right. I did write a book called The End of Heart Disease. I forgot about that. Catchy title, if you asked me. I didn't even mention that when we were talking about this podcast. You did it. You wrote a whole book on this topic. Yeah. But we hardly ever talk about it. Well, do you believe it? Do you feel like we really can end heart disease globally and in America because it is the number one killer.

Yes, it's so critical that people know this information.

And I mentioned to you earlier

last week that we have to do a podcast on heart disease to give people a more broader understanding

of the underlying factors that cause heart disease because people are in the dark.

They still are very confused about this, and they don't know exactly what they can do to prevent themselves from having a heart attack. To be fair, I feel like when people go to their doctors, a lot of the time the doctors just tell them what to do, give them prescriptions, and don't really educate them around the topic. Like, we're not getting a biology lesson on heart disease. And to be honest, I don't even think I know all the details. So I'm excited to dive in and really figure out what's going on in the body. And why not only is heart

disease the number one killer, but why is it still? I don't even think I know all the details. So I'm excited to dive in and really figure out what's going on in the body.

And why not only is heart disease the number one killer, but why is it still the number one killer with all these medical interventions, statin drugs, putting a stent in, triple bypass surgery? I know all these terms, but I don't understand all these things were invented and is it really helping?

Hardly at all.

Hardly at all. Wow.

It shows you how misinformed the medical profession and the public is on the causes of heart disease.
