Summary

Most cardiologists wait until you're having a heart attack to intervene. Dr. Michael Twyman, a board-certified cardiologist and founder of Apollo Cardiology, is flipping that script entirely. In this groundbreaking episode, Dr. Twyman reveals why conventional cardiology is missing the real root causes of heart disease and how quantum biology, mitochondrial health, and circadian rhythms are the future of cardiovascular medicine. Dr. G and Dr. Twyman dive deep into: – Why nitric oxide is your heart's most critical molecule (and how to optimize it naturally) – The glycocalyx: your blood vessel's protective coating that most doctors ignore – How your oral microbiome directly impacts your cardiovascular health – Why grounding and sunlight are essential for heart health – The cutting-edge labs your cardiologist probably isn't ordering – How to spot early signs of heart disease decades before symptoms appear. This isn't about cholesterol and cardio. This is about understanding your heart as an electrical, quantum system that thrives on light, movement, and proper fuel. Dr. Twyman shares practical protocols for optimizing mitochondrial function, supporting endothelial health, and preventing cardiovascular disease at the cellular level. If you want to live longer and stronger, this episode will completely reframe how you think about heart health. #hearthealth #cardiology #mitochondria Sponsored by Calroy - Supporting your vascular health is foundational to overall wellness.

0:00.0	Best foods for the heart and the blood vessels.
0:02.8	I would probably need to do things that are high in sulfates and nitrates so that you build up the
0:08.6	components that could build nitric oxide. The foods rich in sulfur, they're also going to support
0:12.5	the glycolylx because the glycopalics has something known as structured water or easy water.
0:18.0	Sulfur helps support that gel code. If you give that gel code healthy, things don't
0:21.8	damage it. Also, you have to get your omega-3s in. Ideally, you're getting it through dietary intake,
0:26.4	eating seafood three times a week. If you can do that, you critically need DHA for your brain and your
0:31.1	eyes. Your blood vessels are extremely important to be able to deliver blood to those surfaces,
0:34.5	but without DHA, you're not going to get the same benefits from the sun exposure that you're doing. If you think heart health is just about cholesterol and
0:42.2	cardio, you've got to think again. This episode is a complete rewire about how we understand
0:49.7	heart disease, how we understand energy, aging, and vitality. I'm sitting down with Dr. Michael
0:55.2	Twyman. He is a board-certified cardiologist who's actually out there flipping the script.
1:00.0	On everything you thought you knew about heart health, we are diving into quantum biology,
1:05.7	the power of the sun, red light, circadian rhythms, and how your mitochondria are really the true gatekeepers
1:11.9	of your cardiovascular future.
1:13.6	And we talk about why most cardiology is missing the real root causes and how to spot those
1:19.1	silent signs of trouble long before diagnosis and the cutting edge labs that your doctor
1:24.2	probably isn't even thinking about.
1:26.3	If you care about living longer and living
1:28.2	better, this one is going to be an essential one. Thank you for joining this episode of
