Summary

Heart disease has remained the world’s leading cause of death for generations, yet despite new medical procedures and ever-stronger drugs, the numbers continue to rise. Could it be that we’ve misunderstood how the heart actually works? Today’s guest, Dr. Stephen Hussey, sits down to share his perspective.

Hit play to find out:

The interconnectivity of the heart and metabolism.
What light and structured water are, and how they impact health.
How to change your lifestyle from a biochemical point of view.
Contributing factors to chronic illness.

Dr. Hussey is a board-certified chiropractor, functional medicine practitioner, and type 1 diabetic. He has spent his entire life studying the heart — not just to help others, but to protect himself from becoming a statistic. After suffering a ‘widowmaker’ heart attack in his 30’s, Dr. Hussey leaned on years of research to create his own recovery plan…

In his book, Understanding the Heart: Surprising Insights into the Evolutionary Origins of Heart Disease and Why It Matters, Dr. Hussey challenges conventional wisdom, exploring everything from the fundamental drivers of circulation to the role of oxidative stress to the myths about cholesterol and fat.
