What Are We Measuring And Why? We measure a lot of different things to find out if we have heart disease. Commonly we measure weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, and more.

Which is the best? It is confusing out there in the land of heart disease detection.

Unfortunately, you read that right. The top 3 diseases that account for the overwhelming majority of deaths in the United States are all preventable! The Number 1 disease has been the top killer since the 1900's!! This is beyond ridiculous. This is completely unacceptable and apparently it is up to us to change these statistics. Modern medicine obviously has not, and is not moving fast enough. In case you don't have time to listen to this 45 minute life-saving podcast with Dr. Bill Blanchet, here's the bottom line: Go get a heart scan. Forget your cholesterol numbers, learn what your heart score is. Go get a CT Lung scan. Get a colonoscopy, either conventional or the new virtual. Just do it, stop fussing. You can self refer for all of these scans, and most private insurances will pay for the lung and colon scans.

One of the criticisms of having a heart scan is that it does not show soft plaque which is the stuff that ruptures and causes heart attacks. Is this true? Is soft plaque visualization necessary? What about hard plaque? Join Lindsay and Dr. Bill Blanchet as they clarify this issue that even most physicians don't completely understand.

In the award winning documentary, "The Widowmaker", it states that over 4 million people have died of heart attacks while there was technology available that could have found these at risk people and saved a majority of them. Why wasn't this technology more widely known? Why wasn't it more widely used? Find out more on this and other facts that are true about heart disease and heart disease risk that we are also not being told. In the words of Dr. Bill Blanchet, "Anyone who goes past age 50 without getting a heart scan is putting themselves in jeopardy for no good reason."

Patrick Forbes is one of the UK’s top documentary directors. His film ‘Wikileaks: Secrets and Lies’ premiered at SXSW 2012 and then went round the world to critical acclaim.

In 2011, David Bobbett discovered that his odds of suffering a heart attack had soared. A calcification test showed he had a coronary calcification score of 906. This score was equivalent to having the arteries of an 87 year old despite the fact that David was only 51 and in "great shape" at the time. His calcium score put him at such a high risk that he had a 1 in 4 chance of having a massive heart attack in the next year if not treated. Listen to David's response when he explains his motivation for producing this powerful and important film.

Dr. Eric Dorninger is a Naturopath who specializes in chronic disease states. As he says, he gets patients after they have already seen every other doctor around. Why is he so successful with his patients? Because Dr. Dorninger treats the cause of disease. He doesn't just put a bandaid on it. And what is the cause of all diseases? Inflammation, and it is lurking everywhere. Join Lindsay and her guest Dr. Eric Dorninger and listen to this fascinating discussion which will change your thoughts on disease.

This is a good one. Bottom line, gastroenterologists are against virtual colonoscopies because they think it takes business away from them. Primary care physicians don't routinely support virtuals because they don't know much about them and therefore defer to the gastroenterologists. This leaves 33% of us getting a conventional colonoscopy, and approximately 66% of us not getting any colon screening for bunches of reasons. And we wonder why colon cancer remains the 2nd leading cause of cancer related deaths in the U.S. And...it's a disease that is over 90% curable if found early with appropriate screening. Hear what Dr. Bill Blanchet has to say.

There is a lot of controversy mostly among the public regarding statins. It seems like the medical field thinks that, not only are statins the way to go in treating heart disease, but that "more is definitely better." Where is the truth in all of this? Dr. Blanchet explains it well.
