Podcasts about arteries

Calcified peripheral artery disease (PAD) remains one of the most challenging problems in endovascular intervention. Calcium limits vessel expansion, increases the risk of dissection and procedural failure, and can ultimately lead to bailout stenting. The Disrupt PAD III program provided important evidence for a different approach: intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) as a vessel-preparation strategy. In this episode, we examine the randomized Disrupt PAD III trial published by Tepe and colleagues and the large, real-world observational analysis led by Armstrong and colleagues. Together, these studies explore whether IVL can make treatment of heavily calcified lesions more predictable, reduce the need for stenting, and support a “leave-nothing-behind” strategy.Hosts: Dr. Robert Beaulieu Dr. Frank Davis Dr. Luciano Delbono Dr. Andrew Huang Dr. Carolyn JudgeLearning ObjectivesBy the end of this episode, listeners should be able to: Explain the challenges posed by moderate to severe vascular calcification during peripheral endovascular intervention and the rationale for dedicated vessel-preparation strategies. Describe the design, patient population, endpoints, and primary findings of the randomized Disrupt PAD III trial comparing IVL with conventional PTA. Interpret the procedural and longer-term outcomes associated with IVL, including residual stenosis, dissection rates, bailout stenting, and primary patency. Evaluate how the Disrupt PAD III observational study complements the randomized trial by examining IVL in a larger, more complex, real-world population and across multiple vascular beds. Identify the practical implications, limitations, and remaining unanswered questions surrounding IVL, including its role relative to other calcium-modification strategies such as atherectomy.

In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson explores carotid artery stenosis and its role in the prevention of ischaemic stroke. Carotid disease is common, but managing it effectively is far from straightforward. The key clinical questions are not simply how narrow the artery is, but whether the stenosis is responsible for the patient's neurological symptoms, what mechanism is causing cerebral ischaemia, and whether revascularisation offers greater benefit than modern medical therapy. The episode explores the differences between symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid stenosis, the evidence supporting carotid endarterectomy, the importance of timing after transient ischaemic attack or stroke, and the evolving role of carotid stenting. It also considers plaque vulnerability, contemporary medical therapy and how these factors influence decisions about intervention in everyday clinical practice.Access episode show notes containing key references and take-home points at:https://gpnotebook.com/en-GB/podcasts/cardiovascular-medicine/ep-225-carotid-artery-stenosis Did you know?

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   John: Hey doc ! Huge fan I'm 50 year old male and have thinning hair I've been taking your hair support for a few years what other products do you recommend I don't see any on your resource page . Thanks      H: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have been a client and a huge fan since 2017! No other provider comes close to your common sense appraches. Have bloating for couple years and last few months diarhea in am. I plan to order Candida protocol but a few years ago on month 2 of protocol, experienced gastritis. Have a very sensitive stomach, (citrus/ibuprofen unable to tolerate since childhood). What suggestions do you have to complete Candida protocol successfully. Completed Heavy Metals detox 7-2026, inflammation/food sensitivity tests 8-15-26 My diet is very clean, gluten-free, recently introduced sheep yogurt. Soon will start 7 day detox. My NP referred me to GI for diarhea, labs noted have markers for inflammtory bowel disease. I don't expect much from the GI visit! Thank you for your help!!      Stacey: Hi Dr.Cabral , I've been recently diagnosed diagnosed with possible PAD my Right leg was 0.81 and L 0.78 . I'm only 47 . High cholesterol no matter how clean I eat . It's a genetic disposition. My grandma died at age 49 from stokes & aneurysm. I'm terrified! I do your detoxes , protocols, supplements & enzymes. I follow your teachings . I'm at a loss of what to do . They want to put me on a Statin . Those scare me. What is the best way to treat this and stop it in its tracks . I don't smoke , I work out 5 to 6 days a week, I do have dysautonomia/ POTS but healed myself so much from that condition. Now I'm facing PAD , vein insufficiency & Lipedema . Plus may be having a prophylactic mastectomy to prevent breast cancer that is like wild fire in my family . My DNA sucks ! HELP PLEASE.       Stacey: Hi Dr. Cabral Stacey again concerning PAD . I left out that my LDL is 219 and I do have genetically high cholesterol. I've been trying to treat natural but it's been high for years . They also found small amount of plaque on my left carotid artery . Do you think it's time for a statin ? Do you have other suggestions? I've been on the enzymes for over a year now to treat it . I'm so scared of strokes & heart attacks. I'm only 47 and live a healthy lifestyle. I'm in shock by my results . PAD has not been confirmed yet but the first test is abnormal . I also have vein insufficiency & Lipedema & dysautonomia. I'm falling apart & can't stop crying . I do alllllll the things to fight for my health. Worst habit is an occasional drink       L: Hi, dr. C, hope you're well. I listened to the Friday review on the red light tooth brush & I'm wondering if you've ever heard that electric toothbrushes emit a lot of EMFs & so close to the brain, do you think it's true? I prefer to use an electric toothbrush but I'm wondering if they're actually that dangerous. Secondly, have you seen that now they're making more natural bristles? Most toothbrushes have plastic bristles which we grind against our teeth, so probably they're also a source of microplastics in our bodies. I've heard of castor oil bristles but it makes me wonder how much chemicals do they have to use in the process of making castor oil into bristles? Would love your take on it & maybe if there's some research available on it already? Thank you so much for all you do!     Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3880 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

As soon as I take my blood pressure meds, I get tired and lack energy for the rest of the day.  What gives?I'm 77 and have Sjögren's syndrome.  Can I take carnitine?  How much should I take?Are there cardiac side effects to berberine?  Both my husband and I take it for blood sugar.What types of protein are most helpful for osteoporosis and weight gain?The coronary artery inflammation controversy

Dr. Steffen-Sebastian Bolz, Founder of QanatPharma, emphasizes the critical role of resistance arteries, microscopic blood vessels that regulate blood flow and pressure throughout the body, in maintaining organ function. Due to their size, these resistance arteries have been overlooked but with new lab techniques, QP is discovering how their dysfunction contributes to heart failure, cognitive impairment and strokes. The company's lead candidate is a repurposed drug already approved for cystic fibrosis that shows promise in restoring brain blood flow and cognitive function in heart failure patients. Steffen-Sebastian explains, "So what we would consider resistance arteries is anything between the capillary level, which would be 10 micrometers, up to, let's say, a few hundred micrometers. And 300 micrometers is the thickness of a blonde hair. That's kind of what we're talking about here. And everything else, and what I talk about in function is what I said before: they can change their diameter. They can open up or close, which large arteries can not do. They are stiff as a garden hose. They are conduits with arteries. They are made to conduct blood at the lowest resistance possible, whereas the small resistance arteries are made to change resistance and regulate flow and pressure."   "As I said, these small resistance arteries and capillaries are everywhere. Every organ has them. And if you compromise the function of those resistance arteries, you compromise blood flow to the capillaries, which actually means that the capillaries don't get enough oxygen. They cannot transport CO2 away from the tissues. They don't get enough nutrients and so on, which then leads to functional damage, which is number one." "And if it persists, if the problem persists, it can also lead to structural damage, which we can actually see. You mentioned the heart. The heart can deal with it, and also the brain can deal with reductions in that flow to a certain extent. But if the reduction in blood flow exceeds a certain limit, you get structural damage. And we see that structural damage. And we call them infarctions in the heart, but also in the brain, which is a stroke." #QanatPharma #VascularBiology #MicrovascularHealth #DrugDiscovery #HeartFailure #CognitiveImpairment #BiotechInnovation #PrecisionMedicine #AIinDrugDiscovery#Microvascular #Neurology #DrugRepurposing #Cardiology #MedicalResearch #ClinicalTrials #Hypertension qanatpharma.com Download the transcript here

Book a free consultation call with Robert Sikes for a keto or low-carb plateau: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/callThe blocked-artery theory of heart attacks gets put under a microscope. In Episode 915 of Savage Perspective Podcast, Robert Sikes and Tom Cowan ask whether coronary plaque is the true cause of heart attacks. Cowan shares his case for small-vessel damage, lost heart energy, acid buildup, and plaque as repair. They cover coronary calcium scores, stents, statins, fat metabolism, keto, structured water, sunlight, and movement. The talk then turns to Cowan's disputed views on viruses, contagion, immunity, cancer, genetics, and vaccines. It closes with a practical challenge: test claims, track your body's response, eat real food, move, get outside, build relationships, and own your health.For more info visit: https://drtomcowan.com/Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQChapters:0:00 - What Really Causes Heart Attacks?0:42 - How to Falsify a Scientific Claim2:10 - The Blocked-Artery Theory of Heart Attacks5:18 - The 95% Blockage Paradox and Autopsy Findings8:08 - Stents, Bypasses, and the Blockage Theory10:08 - An Energy-and-Acid Theory of Heart Attacks13:23 - Diabetes, Small Vessels, and Fat Metabolism15:13 - A Forgotten Seed Extract for Heart Disease17:02 - Stroke, Keto, and the Plaque Debate19:02 - CAC Scans and the Protective Plaque Theory21:48 - The Fourth Phase of Water24:09 - What Moves Blood Through Capillaries?28:39 - Does Drinking Charged Water Help?30:36 - Viruses, Measles, and the Limits of Diagnosis32:24 - How Virology Identifies a Virus34:26 - Polio Experiments and Viral Culture39:14 - Contagion or Shared Exposure?41:55 - The 1918 Spanish Flu Prison Study45:25 - Do Bacteria and Parasites Cause Disease?49:32 - Fear, Vaccines, and Personal Agency51:02 - Questioning the Immune System and Antibody Model54:53 - A Different Theory of Cancer and Tumors56:29 - Four Proposed Causes of Sickness1:01:19 - Question Everything and Test It Yourself1:02:21 - Taking Back Personal Agency1:06:04 - Genetics, DNA, and the Double Helix1:09:57 - Control, Faith, and Two Origin Stories1:12:49 - Purpose, Homesteading, and Animals1:15:00 - Websites, Clinic, and Closing

Long-term exposure to even moderate levels of air pollution was associated with more calcium buildup, more plaque and more advanced coronary artery disease, suggesting your heart is affected long before symptoms appear Women exposed to higher levels of fine particle pollution were about 80% more likely to have severe blockages in the arteries supplying the heart, highlighting that air pollution doesn't affect everyone equally Ultrafine particles from vehicle exhaust, industrial emissions, power plants and gas stoves are even smaller than the pollutants measured in the study, travel throughout your body after entering your lungs and outnumber microplastics by an enormous margin Because most people spend about 90% of their time indoors, improving your home's air quality with a HEPA purifier, proper kitchen ventilation and smart window habits dramatically reduces your daily pollution exposure Choosing cleaner air when possible, eating minimally processed whole foods, avoiding ultraprocessed foods and exercising away from heavy traffic work together to reduce chronic inflammation and help protect your arteries over the long term

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just predicted that the most important oil chokepoint on Earth will stop mattering within two years: the Strait of Hormuz, he said, is about to become just another body of water. Washington's top diplomat is saying the same thing. The plan sounds simple enough: build pipelines around Iran, and the strait that carries a fifth of the world's oil loses its grip on the global economy. The pipelines that exist today move a fraction of what passes through Hormuz in a single day, and the routes meant to close the gap all share one feature nobody in Washington is talking about. They have to come out somewhere. What waits at the other end is the problem. Learn to invest alongside the top minds in commodities. Join The Commodity University today.

Gabe Snow joins Michael Chernow for one of the most raw and vulnerable conversations we've had on the podcast. Gabe opens up about childhood trauma, grief, addiction, steroid abuse, losing himself behind a seemingly glamorous lifestyle, and the moment he realized he needed to change. He shares how years of anabolic steroid use contributed to a shocking heart diagnosis, including discovering that his LAD artery was 40% blocked at just 34 years old. They also dive into body image, self-worth, nervous system regulation, breathwork, and what it actually takes to rebuild your life after years of running from yourself. Michael opens up about his own experiences with health, trauma, recovery, and a recent MDMA-assisted journey. This is a conversation about facing the parts of yourself you'd rather avoid and finding your way back to who you really are.Subscribe to The Michael Chernow Podcast for new episodes every week.KOHhttps://kreaturesofhabit.comIGhttps://www.instagram.com/michaelchernowhttps://www.instagram.com/kreaturesofhabit#MichaelChernowPodcast #GabeSnow #MentalHealth #AddictionRecovery #Breathwork

Mention of Brian Johnson's microplastics testing. Sauna (especially dry/infrared) as a practical way to lower microplastic load: 15–20 minutes several times weekly. Brian Johnson reportedly reduced levels ~70% in 16 weeks. Avoid steam rooms; prefer dry/infrared. [0:25:18] – Home Environment: Air Filtration & Sleep Sanctuary Ed's “sleep sanctuary”: clean air plus minimized EMF exposure. Air purifiers discussed: Air Doctor: very effective but higher filter costs; quiet operation. Coway Airmega Pro: also well-rated, lower filter costs. [0:28:04] – Buying Supplements on Amazon & Upcoming E‑Commerce Upgrade Warning that many supplements on Amazon (unknown brands/sellers) may be counterfeit or low quality. Advice: only buy when clearly “Sold by [Brand]” or an authorized reseller. Teaser: big online/e-commerce improvement for Nutrition World launching around Labor Day; major investment to enhance customer experience. [0:29:45] – “Good Is the Enemy of Great” & Business Evolution Ed references “good is the enemy of great” (Good to Great). Examples like QVC and print newspapers as businesses that didn't adapt. Message to staff: keep evolving and innovating, not coasting. [0:34:23] – Meniscus Surgery vs. Placebo: No Better Long-Term Outcomes Review of a large trial on arthroscopic partial meniscectomy for chronic meniscus tears: Real surgery vs. sham surgery (incisions + anesthesia but no meniscus removal). No better results in pain/function; more osteoarthritis and repeat surgeries in the real-surgery group. Alternatives: strength training, weight loss, pool walking, cycling, balance work, and addressing oxalates and diet. [0:38:05] – Moderna mRNA Flu Vaccine Concerns Discussion of Moderna's new mRNA seasonal flu shot for adults 50+. Concern that label notes no testing yet on: Cancer-causing potential (carcinogenicity). DNA damage (genotoxicity). Encouragement for cautious, informed decisions. [0:39:27] – Big Corporations Buying Supplement Brands & Quality Standards Procter & Gamble's purchase of Thorne for ~$3.8 billion as an example of consolidation. Potential positives: more funding for serious research. Risks: Focus on quarterly earnings and cost-cutting. Possible decline in raw-material quality and testing. Ed reaffirms Nutrition World's commitment to strict quality screening and dropping brands that slip—including in pet products. [0:44:16] – Bladder Health & Saw Palmetto Nearly 4 in 10 postmenopausal women have bladder problems. New data suggest saw palmetto, long used for men's prostate health, can also help strengthen bladder function in women. Again framed via “risk vs. benefit”—a gentle option worth considering. [0:45:47] – Cadmium in Cocoa: Safer Chocolate Choices Cadmium highlighted as a toxic heavy metal similar to lead. Test results (as reported by Ed): Safer/lower cadmium: Ghirardelli 100% cacao, Good & Gather cocoa, Navitas. High cadmium: Whole Foods 365 cocoa (too high for children), Anthony's Organic Cocoa Powder (flagged as very high, even for adults). Nutrition World has removed many chocolate products that don't pass heavy-metal checks. [0:51:08] – Hemp House Closures / Hemp Law Changes in Tennessee Update on Dwayne from Hemp House: Forced to close three locations after law changes affecting hemp/THC flower. Revenue down well over 50%. Likely to pivot into a new, fitness-related venture.

CardioNerds (Drs. Dr. Natalie Marrero, Dr. Ritika Tuli, and Dr. Rafael Toro Manotas) discuss multimodality imaging for risk stratification, evaluation, and management of chronic coronary artery disease with Dr. Panithaya Chareonthaitawee. Audio editing by CardioNerds intern Iman Razeghian. This episode was produced as part of the CardioNerds Academy curriculum by House Taussig under the guidance of House Chief, Dr. Natalie Marrero and Academy Program Director, Dr. Gurleen Kaur. A matching review article will be published in US Cardiology Review, the official journal of CardioNerds. This discussion was planned in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic Cardiovascular Board Review Course. In this episode, we discuss the pathophysiology and risk stratification of chronic coronary artery disease (CAD), as well as the current landscape of non-invasive evaluation of this condition. CAD remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality despite advances in pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerotic disease. The concept of chronic CAD has shifted from the traditional model of stable, obstructive, flow-limiting disease, toward the current understanding of a dynamic process that extends beyond obstructive epicardial lesions to include non-obstructive plaque, diffuse atherosclerosis, and microvascular disease. Similarly, the imaging modalities used to evaluate CAD have evolved, and clinicians now have an extensive menu of options, each with distinct advantages and limitations, that must be selected carefully to maximize diagnostic accuracy and optimize treatment guidance, while also considering resource availability, local expertise, and high-value care. By the end of the episode, listeners will understand the pathophysiology of chronic CAD, risk-stratify patients with suspected CAD, recognize the advantages and pitfalls of each non-invasive diagnostic modality, and select the most appropriate diagnostic tool for a given clinical scenario. Enjoy this Circulation 2022 Paths to Discovery article to learn about the CardioNerds story, mission, and values. CardioNerds Episode PageCardioNerds AcademyCardionerds Healy Honor Roll CardioNerds Journal ClubSubscribe to The Heartbeat Newsletter!Check out CardioNerds SWAG!Become a CardioNerds Patron! Pearls: Chronic CAD is a complex process that extends beyond obstructive epicardial stenosis to include non-obstructive disease, dynamic plaque burden and ischemia, diffuse atherosclerosis, microvascular dysfunction, vasospasm, among others. When evaluating patients with suspected CAD, the diagnostic process should be guided by a specific and appropriate clinical question before ordering any tests. The current diagnostic tool arsenal is broadly divided into anatomic and functional imaging modalities. These are complementary, each with distinct properties and limitations, addressing different clinical questions and assessing different aspects of disease. Local availability and expertise, along with patient-specific considerations and contraindications, determine the choice of diagnostic modality. No single test is best for every patient. INOCA and coronary microvascular dysfunction represent a common and increasingly recognized entity that is diagnosable and treatable; initial evaluation includes non-invasive testing such as stress PET and stress CMR.

Vitamin K is often treated as a single nutrient, but its different forms may support very different functions throughout the body. In this episode, Dr. Jen speaks with biochemist and independent researcher Pat Theut about the distinctions between K1, MK-4, and MK-7 and their potential roles in blood clotting, calcium regulation, bone strength, cardiovascular health, brain aging, and athletic performance. They explore how vitamin K works alongside vitamin D and magnesium, why calcium supplementation may not provide the benefits many people expect, and how gut health, fermented foods, medications, and modern farming practices may influence vitamin K status. This conversation offers a deeper look at an overlooked nutrient family and why personalized nutrition matters for long-term health. Patrick “Pat” Theut is a biochemist, independent researcher, high-performance athletic coach, and founder of Ultra K. After using his scientific background to investigate his own advanced coronary artery disease, Pat became a dedicated advocate for greater awareness of the vitamin K family. His work focuses on translating complex research involving K1, MK-4, MK-7, vitamin D, magnesium, bone health, cardiovascular function, and athletic performance into practical education that helps people make more informed decisions about long-term health. Website: https://www.k-vitamins.com/index.php?page=vitamin-k-homePODCAST: Thank you for listening please subscribe and share!

Can you really reverse heart artery disease? In this episode, Dr. Robert Todd Hurst, MD, FACC, FASE, shares the remarkable story of a HealthspanMD member who thought he was doing everything right. Despite taking a statin, maintaining healthy blood pressure, staying active, and keeping his blood sugar under control, advanced imaging revealed he was still accumulating dangerous soft plaque in his coronary arteries. Dr. Hurst explains how plaque composition analysis works, why traditional cholesterol targets may not be enough for some people, and what happened when they implemented a more personalized strategy focused on achieving exceptional cardiovascular results. Today's guest is a HealthspanMD member with a strong family history of heart disease who was committed to protecting his heart health. After advanced CT angiography revealed significant soft plaque progression despite years of following conventional recommendations, he partnered with Dr. Robert Todd Hurst, MD, FACC, FASE, and the HealthspanMD team to take a more proactive, personalized approach. One year later, his results demonstrated what may be possible when root causes are identified and risk factors are optimized.

The person often felt completely fine. And then a life-changing event. It's not a slow clog. It's a rupture. Soft, inflamed plaque buried in the artery wall ruptures, platelets rush in, a clot forms in seconds, and that clot is what actually triggers the heart attack. The real villains are inflammation, unstable plaque, and clotting. Not your cholesterol number. That's also why the aspirin debate got so confusing. Aspirin works by making platelets less sticky, blunting that first step of clot formation. For someone with documented plaque or a previous heart attack or stroke, the evidence is strong: aspirin cuts the risk of a second event by around 19 to 20%. But for someone at genuinely low cardiovascular risk who has never had an event, the bleeding risk may quietly outweigh any benefit. Same pill, different person, opposite outcome. The key test most people have never gotten: your coronary calcium score. In this episode, I share exactly what I would do the day I found plaque in my arteries, including seven metabolic steps that address the root cause instead of just managing the risk. Key Takeaways: 70% of heart attacks happen in arteries less than 50% blocked. It's a rupture and clot, not a slow clog. Aspirin helps people at high cardiovascular risk (secondary prevention), but may do more harm than good for low-risk individuals Your coronary calcium score is the most important test most people have never taken Chronically high insulin is, according to heart surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia (5,000+ open heart surgeries), the number one contributor to artery damage The PREDIMED trial found extra virgin olive oil was tied to a 30% lower risk of major cardiovascular events Aspirin manages the consequence of plaque. These seven lifestyle steps remove the cause. Every meal either supports your arteries or works against them. There is no neutral.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Lena: Hi Dr. Cabral, I absolutely love your podcast and listen to it every day! Thank you for everything you do to make us all healthy! My question is, how do you feel about taking supplements for 5 days and then not taking them for 2 days? Is this good for the body or is better to take them every day? Thank you so much!      Hilary: Hi Doc, Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with all of us! I recently started going to a biological dentist. He said that my gums are inflamed and gave me an ozone treatment. Is there a root cause or a way to find a root cause for inflamed gums?      Mohamed: Hello Dr.Cabral.. Ive been a daily viewer of your podcast for a few years now.. really struggling. I've watched all your blood pressure videos. Tried everything to lower my dad's Bp. Magnesium, Omega 3, DNS. To no avail. Ive also tried to increase his potassium. It's frustrating.. he takes a combo of Amplodine (CC blocker and Telmisartan ARB) Even that doesn't help.. what do you recommend. He did his minerals and metals lab. Potassium was green, sodium was borderline yellow at 11. Magnesium was a 5 (exactly green). Calcium 66 (green but close to orange). Ca/Mg ratio is high. Ca/K ratio which is elevated. Na/Mg is low. One thing we haven't tried was proteolytic enzymes.. honestly I think it's hardening of Arteries. He's late 60s. Thanks Doc       Karen: Hi, Dr. Cabral I have a lot of health issues: POTS, MCAS, very very low HRV, extreme postprandial heart elevation after eating, extreme fatigue, Ehlers Dahlos/hyper mobility. I saw a functional medicine doctor to try to get on a good health track but it became focused on elimination diet which became too extreme for me because I have a history of an eating disorder. (almost 10 years ago but still, I was losing too much weight for it to be healthy for me) Please advise where to start and if it is possible to get on track without doing elimination diet. Thank you!       Aidan: Hi Dr Cabral, roughly 9 months ago I was sick with mono for about 6 weeks. As my symptoms eased I began to notice a lot of tingling and numbness in my limbs, 90% in the left arm. As I returned to fitness and the feeling went away I found my pressing strength in the left side was very diminished. My tricep, left upper pec, and left lat lost a lot of size and I was unable to load them anywhere close to where I could prior. I went to the a neurologist and it was revealed through EMG I have a pinch in my elbow and neck. It is also suspected that I could have some kind of post viral neuropathy as ever since then I do experience lots of weird tingling in my arms and sometimes legs as well as the strength defect and I am struggling to get back. Looking for any advice, I feel like I'm losing hope       Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3788 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Heart disease often develops silently for decades before symptoms ever appear, which is why early detection can be one of the most powerful tools for protecting long-term health and longevity.     On today's show, I break down the Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) Score, also known as the Agatston Score, and why it may be one of the most important cardiovascular screening tools for adults over 40.     We'll explore what this scan measures, how the scoring system works, and what different score ranges may reveal about your future heart disease risk.     I'll also explain the limitations of the test, why plaque buildup can begin long before symptoms arise, and how lifestyle, inflammation, blood sugar balance, and other health markers all play a role in cardiovascular health.     Most importantly, you'll learn why prevention and early awareness matter so much, and how foundational health habits may help support long-term heart health and healthy aging.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3772 as we take a closer look at the CAC Score and what it may reveal about your cardiovascular health and longevity.   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3772 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?
