Heart disease is the world's biggest killer—and it often strikes without warning. It's responsible for around 1 in 5 deaths in the US. While these figures are deeply worrying, heart disease is not inevitable.  Decades of research have unearthed many of the risk factors associated with heart health, like poor diet or a sedentary lifestyle. In this episode, Dr. Nour Makarem outlines the latest scientific discoveries in this field and unveils some less-familiar risk factors. Drawing from large-scale population data and the latest wearable tech, she uncovers what makes heart disease so hard to spot, and what we can do today to prevent it.  Nour is a cardiovascular epidemiologist at Columbia University, whose research focuses on how our behaviors—like sleep, stress, and daily rhythms—impact heart disease risk. Her research has helped shape the American Heart Association's Essential Eight guide to heart health. Unwrap the truth about your food

Hunter-gatherers ate dozens of different plants each day! How can we use variety to maximize our health in the modern day, even while the American Heart Association asks us to limit the variety of what we eat?!? Also, how do you react when you take health-affirming steps? Do you diminish their power or do you celebrate and elevate them? Regardless, we'll talk about how to tweak our small steps mindset for maximum impact!

Marcy Syms has led a remarkable life, full of triumphs and tragedies.  Through a discussion of her new book, Leading with Respect: Adventures of an Off-Price Fashion Pioneer, host Bill Burke and Marcy cover subjects ranging from Marcy's upbringing, to overcoming bigotry and bullying in high school, to running her father's company and keeping it on track through the loss of two of her siblings.      Chapters: 00:00 Introduction & Leading with Respect  Bill Burke introduces Marcy Syms, CEO of The Syms Corporation, and her upcoming book “Leading with Respect.” Marcy discusses her father's motto “Don't let the bad guys win” and how it relates to being prepared and ensuring both sides of an encounter feel respected.  04:18 Customer Respect & Grandmother's Influence  Marcy explains how her father's tagline “an educated consumer is our best customer” was foundational to their company's success and built on respect for the customer. She also shares the significant influence of her Romanian immigrant grandmother, who instilled in her the importance of financial independence for young women.  09:12 Overcoming Antisemitism  Marcy recounts the overt antisemitism her family faced after moving to Westchester County, detailing the anxiety and fear it caused. She explains how she decided to ‘tough it out' like a job, overcompensating for the prejudice and becoming a rebel to challenge stereotypes.  13:47 Trailblazing & Joining the Family Business  Marcy discusses how she, as a 12-year-old, trailblazed by pushing for a Bat Mitzvah in her Conservative synagogue, which didn't traditionally hold them. She also explains her path to joining her father's business after being fired from her broadcasting job, finding excitement and fulfillment in the entrepreneurial world.  19:05 Business Innovation & Personal Resilience  Marcy describes the unique “automatic markdown price tag” marketing strategy that differentiated Syms stores, despite not being a profit center. She then discusses the immense personal resilience required to lead the company as CEO while simultaneously dealing with the tragic loss of her brother and sister within a year.  27:43 Courage, Values, and Philanthropy  Marcy emphasizes the importance of courage, even in small acts, and how it's linked to personal values. She reveals her strong aversion to bullies, a trait honed by her past experiences, and how her father's philanthropic vision led to the establishment of the Sy Syms Foundation.  33:25 Impactful Philanthropic Initiatives  Marcy details the foundation's unique philanthropic approach, supporting organizations like PEN America, the American Heart Association's “Go Red” campaign for women's heart health, and the Tannenbaum Foundation's anti-bullying initiatives. She also highlights their commitment to investigative journalism through NPR and scientific research at institutions like the Weissman Institute.  41:34 Lifelong Learning & Hot Water Strength  Marcy reflects on the Eleanor Roosevelt quote, “A woman is like a tea bag; you don't know her strength until she gets into hot water,” acknowledging her own life's challenges. She passionately advocates for lifelong learning as a key to longevity and a fulfilling life, drawing parallels to Jewish cultural inquisitiveness and the entrepreneurial spirit.

In the second half of this two part episode, Dr. David Leon unpacks some of the most hotly debated topics in resuscitation—fluids, blood products, ECMO, and post-arrest care. He breaks down the pros and cons of crystalloids (yes, even the “pasta water” debate), explains why lactated Ringer's is often preferred over normal saline, and dips into the use of albumin and colloids. Dr. Leon also discusses the promise and challenges of extracorporeal life support (ECLS), the evolving role of targeted temperature management (TTM), and even peeks into what advances the future might hold. It's a thoughtful, forward-looking conversation every resuscitationist should hear. What do you think of Dr. Leon's tips? Are you using these tools in your practice? We'd love to hear from you.

Send us a textThis week's expert interview is with Dr. Emily Andaya, Medical Director of the Cardiovascular Program at Major Health Partners of Shelbyville, IN. She joins Louise Campbell and Roger Green to discuss the American Heart Assocation's CKM initiative, why she believe it should be titled "CKLM" for liver, and how including liver in the CKM scoring system would make it stronger and provide a more robust tool to help improve patients' health. Emily begins by discussing her attendance at the American Society for Preventive Cardiology meeting in Boston the previous weekend, where Dr. Christos Montzoros presented a talk proposing that the liver's role in cardiovascular diseases is "equally critical" compared to the kidney and other multi-metabolic co-morbidities. Dr. Montzoros closed his talk by stating that the CKM syndrome description should be changed to CKLM to reflect the importance of the liver, and that the CKLM patient scoring and criteria should reflect this as well.Next, Emily describes the 0-to-4 scoring system that the CKM initiative has chosen to use and the recommendations that accompany the scoring system itself. The system does not neatly overlay the 4-point fibrosis scoring system or the NAS score, but Emily describes how these might be incorporated into the CKM score. The conversation shifts to focus on patient management. Since the original CKM paper was published in 2023, resmetirom had not yet been approved and the paper itself focused more on screening than on treatment. To Emily, adding the "L" to CKM would entail adding resmetirom to treatment protocols as appropriate, and also considering drug combinations that addressed liver disease. Louise takes this issue from the other side, suggesting that every time a provider prescribes a drug to a CKM patient, the potential for negative liver effects should be part of the selection process. Emily and Louise agree that providers and patients should take a holistic approach to therapy for these patients. One benefit: even if a patient has multiple organs affected by multi-metabolic challenges, the provider can educate the patient that there is a single target disease to treat instead of multiple different diseases. As Roger notes, treating 4-5 discrete diseases simultaneously sounds overwhelming, while treating one overarching disease sounds far more manageable.The conversation ends with a focus on whether we are correctly identifying high-risk cardiovascular patients in the current environment, and how this more holistic focus might improve patient screening and identification.

Send us a text00:00:00 - Surf's Up: Season 6, Episode 11 This week, we modify our usual episode structure to focus on multi-metabolic practices and constructs. The multi-metabolic practices covered this week are run by non-hepatologists who have chosen to focus on the liver in a broader cardiometabolic context. They include two practices discussed during a two-part roundtable, one run by US gastroenterologist Dr. Karen Jerome-Zapadka and the EDOM practice in Spain, run by endocrinologists. The expert interview is with Dr. Emily Andaya, an internist who helms a cardiometabolic practice in Indiana, US, that focuses on the liver. 00:14:23 - Roundtable Part I: Groundbreaker and introductionThe core of the episodes started during the weekly groundbreakers, as guests began to describe the path that brought them from single-disease specialization to the broader multi-metabolic practice.. Immediately after the groundbreakers, participants describe their clinics today, including patient population and principles underlying their approach to treatment.00:26:15 - Roundtable Part II: Tools they useGuided by Louise, the specialists discuss the devices they use to screen and stage patients and the drugs they use to treat them. One interesting item that emerges is that EDOM relies on a 0-to-4 disease severity classification, but it does not align point-by-point with the 4-point fibrosis scale common in MASH. 00:40:28 - Roundtable Part III: Training Providers in the ClinicsLouise starts this segment by asking the EDOM team how they train practitioners in their clinic. EDOM trains practitioners in nutrition and technologists in the proper use of scanning devices. Karen comments that one big issue in re-training involves the length of visits: 15 minutes for a typical GI visit vs. 60 minutes for an initial multi-metabolic session and 30 minutes for follow-ups. Along with this, the information gathering technique are different.00:50:57 - Roundtable Part IV: Patient Health and Wrap-upLouise asks participants whether and how they have measured the impact the multi-metabolic approach has on patients' health (profound in both cases) and whether they are seeing an increase in HCC. Karen sees a difference among her long-term patients, while EDOM refers patients before their fibrosis reaches cirrhosis stage. In the last part of the episode, panelists share perspectives on how their initial specialties fit with the broader multi-metabolic practice and the kinds of impact they can have on patients.01:12:50 - Expert: Dr. Emily Andaya discusses US initiatives in multi-metabolic healthThis week's expert is Dr. Emily Andaya, an Indiana (US)-based internist whose practice has expanded to take on a multi-metabolic focus. She begins by discussing her recent attendance at the American Society for Preventive Cardiology (SPC) meeting in Boston, where she heard a talk by Dr. Christos Montzoros, an endocrinologist and multi-metabolic advocate, who emphasized the importance of incorporating the liver into preventive cardiology's focus. Louise and Emily agree that cardiometabolic focus involves evaluating general, overall health, but Emily discusses how this might require a deeper or broader testing protocol for each target organ. Emily describes the 4-point CKM scale and Louise asks how fibrosis or NAS scoring, as deployed in the MASH CRN system, might be valuable here. This is a far-ranging conversation, but one special point of interest involves the psychological benefit of telling a patient they need to treat one (multi-metabolic) condition, instead of separate heart, kidney, endocrinological and liver conditions, which might feel far more overwhelming. 01:48:48 - ConclusionBecause Roger is on vacation, there is no business report this week.

In this high-yield two part episode, we dive into the evolving world of resuscitation with Dr. David Leon, Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine and Anesthesia at UC Davis. From the shift in priorities from ABC (Airway-Breathing-Circulation) to CAB (Circulation first) to the practical use of peripheral vasopressors and rapid infusion catheters, this episode breaks down how frontline ED care is adapting to sicker patients, longer ICU boarding times, and limited resources. Tune in for insights on advanced access strategies, pre-hospital blood products, and why old tools, like whole blood and vasopressin, are making a powerful comeback. What do you think of Dr. Leon's tips? Are you using these tools in your practice? We'd love to hear from you.

Omega-3 fatty acids have long been lauded for heart health benefits. Yet, emerging research now points to an even more profound impact, directly on our most complex organ: the brain. Today, we delve into the critical, often misunderstood, role of omega-3s in cognitive function, mental well-being, and even the prevention of neurodegenerative conditions like dementia. We are joined by Dr. Bill Harris, a globally recognised authority in omega-3 fatty acid research. Bill is a Professor at the University of South Dakota and has over 300 peer-reviewed publications. His foundational work includes pioneering studies on fish oil in the 1980s and shaping American Heart Association scientific statements. In this episode, Dr. Harris - along with ZOE's Chief Scientist Professor Sarah Berry - illuminate why most individuals may be operating with suboptimal omega-3 levels, and the tangible implications this has for mood regulation, anxiety, and long-term brain resilience. We navigate nuances between omega-3 types like EPA and DHA, debunk common misconceptions surrounding plant-based sources and mercury content in fish, and explore the precise methods for assessing and improving your own "Omega-3 Index."

ChatGPT recommends the Mediterranean diet as best for overall health. It groups red meat, sugar, and processed foods together as foods to avoid and recommends plant-based diets as superior. ChatGPT recommends avoiding keto and carnivore diets on a long-term basis. ChatGPT health advice comes from organizations such as the American Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association, which are heavily funded by certain industries and inherently biased. To lower cholesterol, ChatGPT claims you should lower dietary cholesterol, increase unsaturated fats, and replace animal proteins with plant proteins. Plants do not have complete protein, and if you reduce your dietary cholesterol, you could end up low in bile and vitamin D. Cholesterol is a vital component of your cell membranes, hormones, and brain.ChatGPT falsely claims that seed oils are not “that bad” when used in moderation. Balance and moderation allow you to continue eating bad food without worrying about the consequences. If you have a chronic disease, you can not simply “balance” your diet. If you have diabetes, you do not want to spike insulin with carbohydrates. ChatGPT recommends legumes and grains for people with diabetes and small, frequent meals. This advice would continue to spike insulin, and would not help reverse diabetes!When asked about diet and nutrition for people with chronic diseases, ChatGPT ignores powerful ways to drastically improve one's health, such as increasing vitamin D and fasting. It continues to recommend moderation for ultra-processed foods, claiming that it is safe and healthy for 20% of your daily calories to be ultra-processed.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting. He is the author of the best-selling book The Healthy Keto Plan, and is the Director of Dr. Berg Nutritionals. He no longer practices, but focuses on health education through social media.

Jennie Garth is best known to Gen-Xers for her iconic role playing Kelly Taylor on the megahit television series Beverly Hills 90210.  Fans of the show may remember Kelly's pivotal “I Choose Me” episode (airing thirty years ago this past May) when she stood between dreamboats Brandon and Dylan and declared that she was choosing herself.  Jennie shaped an entire era of pop culture, and now, at fifty-two, she is embracing an incredible new chapter of life—one filled with bold conversations about aging, empowerment, self-love, and the beautiful messiness of midlife. Through her thought-provoking “I Choose Me” podcast and a forthcoming memoir of the same name, Jennie is using her platform to champion other women over fifty by challenging outdated narratives around aging and sparking empowering conversations. Today, Jennie, Jen and Amy talk about what choosing yourself looks like on a normal day, and what it means to be graduate beyond our growing family years into a more independent space where a new age of self-discovery is possible because, as Jennie reminds us, choosing “you” isn't selfish—it's the most powerful act of self-respect. Thought-provoking Quotes: “It was through my conversations with fans, whether it was on social media. or at autograph events that I kept hearing, ‘I didn't know I could choose me until Kelly Taylor told me it was an option.'” – Jennie Garth “If I had gone to college and lived a normal life, then I would have learned things that I didn't actually end up learning until I was in my forties and fifties. So now I'm just searching like, ‘What did I miss and how can I be better? How can I learn more about myself?'” – Jennie Garth “You look around on social media and you see other people's lives and think, ‘My God, they have it all figured out.' And I just never felt like that personally.” – Jennie Garth “Loving yourself is a journey and it's imperative to your wellbeing.” – Jennie Garth “I don't want to please people by being what they want me to be or fitting into this character's shoes. I love acting and I'll never not love acting. But I had to take the bull by the horns and take control of my life.” – Jennie Garth “Competition amongst women was real. It was just part of the  world I grew up in. I had to be better than the next girl. What a waste of so much precious time and energy. I used to be intimidated by other women's success or knowledge or position. I kick myself for all the years of lost opportunity of that kind of camaraderie and connection with other women. I feel it so strongly now. It's something that can never be quieted again,” – Jennie Garth Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990-2000) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098749/ Tori Spelling - https://www.instagram.com/p/DKAANczu145/?hl=en I Choose Me Women's Summit 2025 - https://jenniegarth.com/pages/i-choose-me-movement I Choose Me: Chasing Joy, Finding Purpose & Embracing Reinvention by Jennie Garth - https://amzn.to/44d8eMM Me by Jennie Garth QVC Collection - https://jenniegarth.com/pages/me-by-jennie-garth Feeding America - https://www.feedingamerica.org/partners/entertainment-council/jennie-garth American Heart Association - https://www.heart.org/en/health-topics/at-the-heart-of-it-with-nancy-brown/the-power-of-positivity-with-jennie-garth Guest's Links: Website - https://jenniegarth.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jenniegarth/ Twitter - https://x.com/jenniegarth Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/jenniegarth TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@officialjenniegarth Podcast - https://jenniegarth.com/pages/i-choose-me-podcast Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

If you ordered a steak at a restaurant are you essentially ordering a heart attack or a nutrient-rich whole food?Few foods spark more debate than red meat. It's been blamed for heart disease, cancer and diabetes, but some people praise it for being high in iron, zinc, vitamin B12 and quality protein. So, if you add red meat to your plate is it helpful or harmful?Whether you eat meat or avoid it, I think you'll find today's conversation cuts through the noise of social media and clears up a lot of confusion in the nutrition space. I wanted to disentangle the obvious issues surrounding environmental concerns of eating animal products from today's discussion, and simply talk through the data as we have it. It's given me a lot to think about when it comes to recommendations for people, as well as how concerned I would be about red meat consumption overall.Today we're chatting with researcher and academic Dr. Kevin Maki, PhD, who specialises in clinical studies on nutrition, metabolism, and chronic disease risk factors. He's also an Adjunct Professor at Indiana University School of Public Health, a Master and Past President of the National Lipid Association, and a Fellow of the American Heart Association and The Obesity Society. Dr. Maki has participated in over 300 clinical trials and published more than 250 scientific papers, books and book chapters.You're going to learn about:Whether red meat is actually unhealthier than poultryWhat red meat really does to your cholesterol, your blood pressure and your long-term health riskWhether red meat is a source of unhealthy fatsTypes of red meat and which ones are less healthy than othersHow much red meat you can safely consumeWe also talk about seed oils, plus high protein diets and their relationship to kidney disease, longevity and diabetes risk.The 4 big takeaways I got from this episode were:Moderate amounts (50g per day) of unprocessed lean red meat in the diet is fineDiet quality and the addition of whole unprocessed foods is more importantHigh Protein is very important in middle aged and older adultsBeware of the 4 white poisons: Sugar, Salt, Saturated Fat and refined Starches

1. Artificial food dyesThere is no benefit to having toxic, artificial food coloring in our foods. The Delaney Clause prohibited the use of any food additives shown to induce cancer in humans or animals; however, in 1996, the Food Quality Protection Act effectively reversed this clause, allowing these chemicals back into the food supply. 2. The SNAP ProgramRFK Jr. is actively working to eliminate junk foods from the SNAP program. He is receiving a lot of pushback, even from unlikely sources, like the American Heart Association. 3. Titanium dioxide This ingredient is banned in France for causing DNA damage! It can enter the brain and has been identified as a carcinogen. RFK Jr. is actively working to remove this ingredient from the food supply.4. Brominated vegetable oil This flame retardant has nothing to do with vegetables! Although it's still used in American soft drinks, BVO has been banned in Europe, Japan, and India. 5. Potassium bromateThis possible carcinogen is used to fluff up dough, yet it's banned in 30 countries, but not in the US. 6. High-fructose corn syrup This corn-derived sweetener can lead to liver damage, a fatty liver, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and more. Many activists have been working to get this banned or limited in the children's school system for some time.7. Seed oils The average person consumes 25 to 30 percent of their calories from seed oils. They cause inflammation and other toxic effects, and can linger in the body for over a year after consumption. 8. Ultra-processed foods Ultra-processed foods contain synthetic starches, synthetic sugar, and seed oils. RFK Jr. aims to remove these foods from children's lunches, hospitals, and assisted living homes. 9. Artificial sweeteners Sugar alcohols are made by fermenting natural ingredients, while artificial sweeteners use chemicals like petroleum. These sweeteners cause significant damage, including an alteration of your gut microbes and cancer.10. GRAS The GRAS (generally recognized as safe) loophole allows industries to do their own testing to determine if a product is safe. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting. He is the author of the best-selling book The Healthy Keto Plan, and is the Director of Dr. Berg Nutritionals. He no longer practices, but focuses on health education through social media.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Nina Teicholz, a PhD nutritionist, founder of the Nutrition Coalition, and author of "The Big Fat Surprise".

The Protein Paradigm: Redefining Dietary Guidelines with Dr. Nina Teicholz, a PhD nutritionist, founder of the Nutrition Coalition, and author of "The Big Fat Surprise". The discussion focuses on controversies around dietary guidelines, particularly the misrepresentation of low-fat diets and the critical role of protein in optimal health. Dr. Teicholz addresses the flaws in the US Dietary Guidelines, highlights the impact of institutionalized groupthink on nutrition science, and argues for the reassessment of protein recommendations and the demonization of saturated fats. She also examines the challenges and influence of food industry conflicts on public health policies and shares insights on the potential for meaningful reform under the current administration.

What if your blood pressure — even just a little too high — is quietly damaging your brain? What if it's increasing your risk of a heart attack or stroke, without you ever feeling a thing? In this episode, Professor Tim Spector reveals why blood pressure is one of the most overlooked – and most dangerous – health issues today. He explains why “normal for your age” might not be safe at all, why medication alone isn't the full answer, and how small, daily changes could dramatically reduce your risk of serious disease. Can your gut microbes raise your blood pressure? Can a banana be as powerful as a pill? Is beetroot juice really three times more effective than cutting salt? You'll also learn why 80% of the salt we eat isn't from the shaker, how stress and sleep secretly push your pressure up, and what most doctors still miss when treating hypertension. If you've ever been told your blood pressure's “fine” — or never measured it at all — this episode might change the way you think about your future health.

Do you need hours at the gym for it to count? Nope! In today's episode, I'm breaking down exactly how much movement it really takes to support your health… according to science, not social media.

Most Americans are eating and drinking far more sugar than is good for us. It's easy to do. Sugar is added to everything from breakfast cereals and flavored coffee creamers to salad dressings and pasta sauces. And all of that sugar can add up. Americans consume an average of 17 teaspoons of sugar a day with some estimates as high as 34 teaspoons a day. That's about three times the daily limit recommended by the American Heart Association.U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently said, “Sugar is poison,” and recommends that Americans consume “zero” added sugar. So how much is too much? MPR News host Angela Davis talks with a doctor and a dietitian about what sugar does to our bodies and ways to cut back to improve our health.  Guests: Dr. Allison Estrada is an endocrinologist at Hennepin HealthCare.    Alex Larson is a registered dietitian nutritionist based near Duluth.  Subscribe to the MPR News with Angela Davis podcast on: Apple Podcasts, Spotify or RSS.   Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation.     

 Dr. Laura Catena reacts to AHA's statement on alcohol and cardiac health and the possibility of USDA Dietary Guidelines dropping alcohol consumption guidance.Given the recent news that the USDA may drop the current recommendation of one alcoholic drink per day for women and two alcoholic drinks per day for men in the soon to be released update of the USDA dietary guidelines, and the American Heart Association's new statement that alcohol may have no to little impact or could even be beneficial on heart health, we are fortunate to have just the right person to respond to this and sort it all out for us.We welcome vintner and physician Dr. Laura Catena back to the podcast. With her unique dual background in medicine and winemaking, Catena shares her researched perspective, emphasizing the importance of scientific integrity, the value of moderate wine consumption in historical health data, and the need for ongoing research free from bias. She challenges the absolutist messaging that no amount of alcohol is safe, and urges a more balanced, evidence-based conversation.

You've been told to trust the experts. To eat more grains. To fear fat. But what if the very foundation of our nutrition guidelines was built not on science—but on religion, corporate funding, and government agendas? In this eye-opening solo episode, Nate Palmer breaks down the wild (and true) history behind the food pyramid. From enemas and yogurt colonics at Battle Creek Sanitarium, to Kellogg's anti-sex cereal crusade, to the billions that Big Food and Big Ag poured into shaping what you eat today—this episode is a masterclass in how we got here… and how to escape it. If you've ever wondered why the standard American diet is so broken, this is your moment of clarity. What You'll Learn: Why the food pyramid was never based on health—but on economics and politics The bizarre religious roots of our dietary guidelines (yes, cereal was invented to stop masturbation) How the USDA's dual mission created a massive conflict of interest The real reason fat was demonized—and who profited most from it How corporate donations to organizations like the American Heart Association shaped public perception What you can do today to eat against the pyramid and reclaim your health  Resources & References: Procter & Gamble's $1.7M donation to the American Heart Association McGovern Committee Dietary Goals (1977) Sugar Research Foundation's funded studies to blame fat over sugar (1967) USDA Farm Subsidy Data (1995–2020, via EWG.org) Kellogg and Battle Creek Sanitarium archives Loma Linda University & Seventh-day Adventist dietary influence

In this episode, we discuss the diagnosis and treatment of resistant hypertension, including a newer endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) called aprocitentan (Tryvio®). Key Concepts The diagnosis of true resistant hypertension is based on requiring more than 3 antihypertensives (ACE inhibitor or ARB + calcium channel blocker + diuretic) to achieve goal BP, ruling out inaccurate BP readings, and ensuring patient adherence to their antihypertensive therapy. Non-pharmacologic therapy (especially dietary sodium restriction), medication adherence, and lifestyle changes are critical to the treatment of resistant hypertension. The preferred 4th line option for most patients with resistant hypertension is spironolactone. After adding spironolactone, additional therapies are based on expert opinion and patient-specific factors. These additional therapies may include beta blockers, alpha-2 agonists, alpha-1 blockers, hydralazine, minoxidil, and aprocitentan. References Carey RM, Calhoun DA, Bakris GL, et al.
