Summary

In Episode #39 of The Proof podcast, I sat down with cardiologist Dr Rob Ostfeld to talk about preventative medicine and how he treats his patients to improve their quality of life and promote longevity. Among other things, we delved into Dr Ostfeld’s medical training, how he ended up specialising in cardiology, when and why his own diet changed, and how he became interested in preventative medicine. He also goes into the science of saturated fat, cholesterol, and statins (cholesterol medications) as well as sharing what supplements (if any) he recommends to his patients and what happens if you replace animal protein in your diet with plant protein. If you want to understand more about the types of food you should be eating and avoiding, this is the perfect episode for you. As Dr Ostfeld walks us through the science of cardiovascular disease, he offers a tonne of practical information and tips for choosing foods to fit your own lifestyle.

Asnatics are more likely to get readmitted to the hospital because of bronchospasm in their

lungs, short and subrath after eating more animal-based food. So it's not just blood vessel

function. It's not just lung function. Also liver function. Now there's this thing called

non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which now in the western world is the most common cause

of liver failure leading to liver transplant, more than alcohol. If you eat an animal-based

meal, your liver metabolically transiently looks like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

It goes away after a few hours. That's one meal. But it's not just your blood vessel
