On this episode of Vitality Radio, we continue our deep dive into systemic enzymes, building on the foundation laid in episodes #530 & 566. This time, the focus is on practical protocols that combine Fibrenza with key companions and targeted nutrient support for cardiovascular health, immune resilience, and recovery. You'll learn how systemic enzymes modulate the immune system for conditions like autoimmune disease and fibromyalgia, why pairing them with other supportive supplements can retrain immune balance and strengthen the gut lining at the root. Jared also shares cardiovascular strategies post-COVID — using Fibrenza with supplements that support nitric oxide, vessel flexibility, and inflammation balance. Finally, the discussion turns to exercise recovery, with protocols designed to accelerate healing, reduce soreness, and protect tendons and ligaments. This episode is about root cause solutions — supporting balance, reducing inflammatory debris, and nourishing the body so it can do what it was designed to do: heal and thrive.Products:Fibrenza Systemic EnzymeKyolic Moducare Daily Immune SupportVital 5 Precision Probiotic Vital SporesNatural Factors L-Glutamine PowderGet Well Stay WellN.O.

That's because most physicians aren't trained to look for common indicators of heart disease risk in the early stages, such as inflammation, insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, and silent plaque progression.In this episode, I sit down with cardiometabolic nutritionist Michelle Routhenstein to break down what's missing in traditional heart health advice. Michelle walks us through the lab numbers that matter most, how your gut and bowel habits relate to cholesterol, and why erectile dysfunction may be an early warning sign.She'll open your eyes to why eating “clean” doesn't equal heart-healthy, why so many are misled by low-carb and keto trends, and how to stop arterial plaque from accumulating silently for decades before the first event strikes."No matter where you are, no matter your age, no matter what you look like, heart disease does not discriminate between underweight and overweight." ~ Michelle RouthensteinAbout Michelle Routhenstein:Michelle is a preventive cardiology nutritionist and the founder of Entirely Nourished, a practice dedicated to reducing cardiovascular risk through evidence-based, personalized nutrition. She holds a master's in clinical nutrition, is a member of the Forbes Health Advisory Board, and the author of The Truly Easy Heart Healthy Cookbook.

CT Scan for Coronary Artery Calcification Window   Guest: Thomas C. Gerber, M.D., Ph.D. Host: Stephen L. Kopecky, M.D.   Coronary artery calcification (CAC) scanning can help improving our assessment of the risk of heart attack or stroke in thoughtfully selected patients. Not everyone needs a CAC scan! The results of a CAC scan can be particularly helpful in deciding whether a patient should start medications to reduce their risk. Coronary artery calcium scanning is *not* used to follow a patient's risk over time (to see whether the risk is decreasing or increasing).   Topics Discussed: How is a coronary artery calcification (CAC) scan done, and what can the results tell us about a patient's cardiovascular risk and management? Who should consider having a CAC scan? Should a patient discuss the possibility of a CAC scan with their doctor, and should they just self-refer to a screening center? What changes can we make in patient management based on CAC scan findings? How should we monitor whether the management is improving the patient's cardiovascular risk? How often should a CAC scan be done?    Connect with Mayo Clinic's Cardiovascular Continuing Medical Education online at https://cveducation.mayo.edu or on Twitter @MayoClinicCV and @MayoCVservices.

Remember when Coach Prime Deion Sanders nearly lost his legs due to below-knee blockages?  Many patients with severe poor circulation in their legs known as Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) face the same “revolving door” of treatments with limited options… until now.  Watch “The Heart of Innovation” as Dr. Jay Matthews, the lead Principal Investigator behind the groundbreaking DEEPER REVEAL trial talks about a technology that just changed the game for peripheral artery disease treatment!  Dr. Matthews will reveal how Reflow Medical's breakthrough technology called "SPUR" —a temporary stent that achieves impressive early results—is offering new hope for patients suffering from debilitating leg cramps, pain, and neuropathy.  This FDA-cleared innovation specifically targets those challenging below-knee arteries—long considered the “Achilles heel” for vascular specialists—and could be life-changing for patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease who suffer most from these difficult-to-treat blockages.  The DEEPER REVEAL clinical trial demonstrated a remarkable 99.2% technical success rate with this novel approach that leaves no metal behind! Don't miss this episode that could literally help save limbs and transform lives!

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I'm a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients. In this podcast, Dr. Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist, discusses heart health, particularly focusing on conditions affecting women, with interventional cardiologist Dr. Fiona Foo. They explore angina and ischemia in women who have non-obstructive coronary artery disease, explaining that many women experience chest pain without visible blockages in large arteries. This phenomenon, referred to as Anoca (angina with non-obstructive coronary arteries) and Inoca (ischemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries), highlights issues at the microvascular level that are often overlooked.

Cobert presents with a history of peripheral artery disease and was referred to physical therapy for walking endurance. He reports intermittent claudication in his calves after walking 100 meters and frequently stops to rest. His resting ABI is 0.7 in both legs. The goal is to enhance his functional capacity and quality of life. Which walking program is MOST appropriate to improve this patient's functional capacity?A) Treadmill walking at 60% of maximal heart rate, continuous for 30 minutesB) Walking to the point of moderate pain, resting, and repeating for 30 minutes totalC) Interval walking at high intensity with short rest breaksD) Walking with partial body weight support to reduce claudication painDOWNLOAD THIS EPISODES CHEATSHEET:www.nptecheatsheet.com/PAD1

Aspirin helps prevent heart attacks by thinning the blood and reducing clot formation. A blood clot causes 80% of all heart attacks and strokes. While Aspirin has helped people, it does come with side effects and may not be for everyone. Surprisingly, 50% of all heart attacks occur between 6:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., likely due to higher levels of cortisol in the morning. Both cortisol and adrenaline can increase clotting.EPA, an omega-3 fatty acid, acts as a natural blood thinner without the negative side effects. Research has shown that EPA can thin the blood comparably to low-dose Aspirin. EPA can stabilize vulnerable arterial plaquing by decreasing inflammation.One 2019 study found that people who consumed EPA experienced a significant decrease in plaquing, decreased inflammation, and decreased cardiovascular events. It can also positively affect your mood by reducing cortisol and adrenaline. EPA helps prevent blocked arteries by making your platelets less sticky. Salmon, mackerel, fatty fish, and fish oil contain EPA, but there's a better source! Cod liver oil or cod liver is the best food to unclog your arteries naturally. Along with EPA, cod liver oil contains vitamins A and D. The active form of vitamin A, retinol, helps to repair the body's internal tissues. It's also a potent anti-inflammatory and can help decrease atherosclerotic plaquing.In one study, out of 1000 compounds, vitamin D was the most effective at preventing damage to the internal layer of the arteries. Vitamin D increases nitric oxide and the stiffness of the arteries. It's a potent anti-inflammatory, stabilizes plaque, prevents rupture, and decreases arterial calcification.
