Now, I've done quite a few videos on the heart. I've talked about coronary artery calcification,

vascular calcification, but there's one additional cause that I recently found

through reading a book, which I'm going to put a link down below, which I think is pretty common

and I haven't made the link yet, and I think you should know about it, especially if you want to

prevent calcification of your arteries. And this additional cause is called lactic acidosis.

Now, when I mention lactic acidosis, or maybe lactic acid, you might associate that with

kind of a burning you feel after you exercise in your muscles, right? You might think of that,

but lactic acidosis goes way beyond that. Lactic acidosis occurs as a byproduct of glucose

metabolism, and both lactic acidosis and lactate in your blood are associated with a lot of additional

problems, okay? Like sudden death from heart attack, thrombosis, which means you're clotting

in your arteries, panic attacks, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, which could include a lot of

other problems. Even like in bipolar, schizophrenia, sepsis, which is a systemic infection, certain

arrhythmia problems like ventricular fibrillation, and liver disease, and definitely diabetes,

and even cancer and restless leg syndrome. But my primary focus today is to show you this

connection between lactic acidosis and hypoxia in your arteries, okay? How toxic? That's a lack of oxygen.

And then the next consequence of that is calcification. So vascular calcification can definitely come

from this hypoxia, which is caused by this acid situation in your blood called lactic acidosis.

And so calcification in the arteries is not just from old age, it's not just from

consuming too much dietary calcium, or even just a lack of vitamin K2. Now there's two primary

common reasons why someone might develop some version of lactic acidosis. One is they're just

on too many carbohydrates. Too much sugar in the diet can then cause this abundance of lactate,

and that can develop into lactic acid. So anything that can increase the metabolism of glucose,
