Welcome to the Mind Buddy Green podcast. I'm Jason Wachib, founder and co-CEO of MindBuddy Green and your host.

Welcome back to the Mind Body Green podcast. I have a fascinating study for you today, something truly

remarkable that might have unlocked a major secret to human longevity. And it all started in a tiny,

sterile lab at the University of Kentucky in 1980, where white-coated researchers stumbled upon something that turned everything we thought we knew about heart disease upside down.

Now, they didn't set out to solve a mystery. They were just trying to cause heart problems and some unsuspecting rabbits.

Now, before you think I've lost it, let me explain.

These scientists were cardiovascular researchers studying heart disease,

the buildup of deadly plaque and arteries that kills more people worldwide than anything else.

And rabbits, well, rabbits were their unfortunate but necessary test subjects.

The plan was to feed the rabbits what researchers called a quote unquote heart attack diet,

loaded with cholesterol, guaranteed to clog their arteries within weeks.

It was predictable, it was reliable, it was science.

Except this time, something went horribly wrong.

Or maybe something went beautifully right.

Before we go further, this is a new format for the Mind Body Green podcast,

where we discuss specific studies that we either reference often or are trending in our

world.

We're also going to explore the end-of-one experiments I'm doing to better my own health metrics and blood work.

I'm particularly excited to share what has worked for me and what I'm learning in my well-being journey.

This is all part of our dedication to sharing science-backed health and well-being content,

and we hope you subscribe to our show and share this episode.

When the researchers examine their arteries, they expected to see what they always saw,
