Send us a textWide release date: August 25, 2025Episode Summary: Dr. Uffe Ravnskov talks about his decades-long career challenging the idea that high cholesterol causes heart disease, discussing LDL's protective role in the immune system by binding to bacteria, the harms and biases in statin research influenced by pharmaceutical companies, evidence that high cholesterol benefits the elderly and reduces infection/cancer risks, and how mental stress or infections elevate cholesterol as a response rather than a cause.About the guest: Uffe Ravnskov, MD, PhD is a physician and independent researcher who earned his MD from the University of Copenhagen in 1961 and a PhD in nephrology. He has worked in various clinics in Sweden since the 1960s, focusing his research on challenging the cholesterol hypothesis in heart disease. Now 91, he has published over 200 papers, authored books like "The Cholesterol Myths.”Discussion Points:LDL cholesterol helps the immune system by sticking to bacteria, clumping them for removal; low LDL increases infection risk.Animal studies show injecting LDL protects against lethal infections, while historical data links severe infections to worse atherosclerosis.Elderly people with high cholesterol live longer; low cholesterol raises mortality risk more than high levels.Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) doesn't cause early death via cholesterol alone—co-inherited coagulation factors are the issue, and FH patients often have lower infection rates.Statins lower LDL but increase infection risk, cause muscle weakness/brain issues (often blamed on aging), and show no clear benefit in unbiased meta-analyses.Research biases include cherry-picking studies, exaggerating benefits via relative (not absolute) risk, and pharma funding suppressing critical views.Mental stress can raise cholesterol by 10-50% in 30 minutes, often misread as a heart disease cause rather than an effect.Saturated fat and high cholesterol aren't proven harmful; Ancel Keys' claims ignored contradictory evidence.Stopping statins often reverses side effects quickly, improving quality of life.Related episode:M&M 244: Seed Oils & Heart Disease: Oxidized LDL, Cholesterol, Fat & Cardiology | Tucker GoodrichReference Paper:LDL-C does not cause cardiovascular disease: a comprehensive review of the current literature*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.

Send us a textDr. Michael Koren joins Kevin Geddings to explain how having a conversation with a medical professional who is tuned into your personal situation can help you understand the confusing and sometimes counterintuitive world of medical information. Cardiologist Dr. Koren uses the examples of coronary calcium scores and total cholesterol levels, which must be interpreted in the context of individual factors, such as age and HDL/LDL ratio. They then discuss clinical research and how the experience in a clinical research setting is one of shared knowledge, where medical professionals take the time to explain everything you need to know about your health.Be a part of advancing science by participating in clinical research.Have a question for Dr. Koren?

Commentary by Dr.  Jian'an Wang.

Dr. Robert Baron reviews best practices in lipid management for preventing cardiovascular disease, with a focus on statin use. He outlines the strong evidence for statins in reducing heart attack and stroke risk by 25–33%, particularly in patients with clinical atherosclerotic disease, diabetes, or high LDL. He explains why shared decision-making is key in primary prevention, where guidelines vary and risk thresholds are debated. Baron discusses the shift to the newer PREVENT risk calculator, which offers improved accuracy and removes race as a factor. He also explains when additional lipid-lowering medications may be appropriate and clarifies the impact of risk-enhancing factors like family history, coronary artery calcium, and LP(a).

Darshan H. Brahmbhatt, Podcast Editor of JACC: Advances, discusses a recently published original research paper on Sex Differences in the Impact of Exercise Volume on Subclinical Coronary Atherosclerosis: A Meta-Analysis.

In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses a study showing that elevated cardiac troponin levels after intense exercise in middle-aged recreational athletes are common but not linked to hidden coronary artery disease. The findings raise important questions about the origin and significance of these elevations, highlighting the need for long-term follow-up.

This week, Dr. Prather talks about how Aerobic Exercise and External CounterPulsation (ECP) Therapy are treatments that benefit every patient and all types of Cardiovascular Disease.  In this episode, you'll find out:—Why Dr. Prather calls ECP Therapy and Aerobic Exercise "the panacea for Cardiovascular Disease".—The amount of Aerobic Exercise each person needs to prevent or reverse Cardiovascular Disease.  (And why everyone reading this probably does not measure up!)—The story of how ECP Therapy was designed by Harvard decades ago to do Aerobic Exercise for patients who couldn't even walk across the room without losing their breath.  Plus, how long-distance runners are using ECP to help set new records. —How Dr. Prather called the FDA to ask if it would be OK for him to offer ECP Therapy to his patients and was actually encouraged by them to do this therapy in his office.—The "amazing" safety record of ECP Therapy that has NEVER had a single injury reported in decades of use.—The screening Dr. Prather does on patients prior to ECP Therapy for potential contraindications to ensure patient safety.—Why Cardiologists refer for ECP Therapy after everything else has been tried.  And how everyone who has been referred to Dr. Prather for it has lived.—The conditions that benefit from ECP Therapy, including:  Angina, Congestive Heart Failure, Atherosclerosis, Hypertension, Kidney Disease, Restless Leg Syndrome, Diabetes, Cognitive Brain Function, and Erectile Dysfunction. —How Natalie and John came to see Dr. Prather without an appointment after leaving two different hospitals.  And how Dr. Prather was able to provide John relief from pain that very first day.—The details about Dr. Prather's upcoming free educational seminar, "Diabetes Decoded:  A Holistic Look At Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes" on Wednesday, June 25th at 6:30 p.m.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

The primary cause of metabolic dysfunction is not carbohydrates themselves but rather the combination of processed "naked" sugars and high linoleic acid seed oils that damage mitochondrial function at a cellular level.KISMETWhile most people focus on limiting carbohydrates to improve metabolic health, the research actually shows that fruit juice and honey can improve insulin sensitivity in some diabetics due to their complex chemical structures that positively influence gut bacteria – completely contradicting conventional wisdom about sugar.EPISODE SUMMARYDr. Paul Saladino shares his evidence-based perspective on the true causes of metabolic dysfunction. Contrary to popular belief, carbohydrates themselves don't cause insulin resistance. Instead, the primary culprits are processed "naked" sugars that disrupt gut bacteria and seed oils high in linoleic acid that damage mitochondrial membranes. These damaged membranes lead to energy production inefficiency at the cellular level, which manifests as various metabolic disorders. Dr. Saladino explains how the standard American diet contains 5-10 times more linoleic acid than our ancestors consumed, primarily from seed oils in processed foods. He argues that returning to single-ingredient foods and specifically reducing linoleic acid intake could rapidly improve metabolic health. The discussion challenges conventional medical wisdom about cholesterol, atherosclerosis, and the treatment of metabolic disorders.NOTABLE QUOTE"I want people to know that I was not taught in medical school the diet was this powerful.

You might not realize just how much your oral health is tied to your heart and overall wellness—but it's a connection worth knowing about. I caught up again with my amazing colleague, Dr. Ellie Campbell, and we got into why regular lab tests sometimes miss the early signs of things like heart disease, stroke, and even dementia. We talked about why your dentist could actually be one of the most important people on your health team, plus some sneaky risks that only advanced testing can catch. Dr. Ellie has been in family medicine for over 25 years, mixing integrative and functional approaches to help people truly understand their health. She shared some eye-opening stuff about how sleep apnea can mess with your blood sugar, why fasting blood sugar numbers matter more than you think, and how your genes could be playing a bigger role than you realize. She also gave some solid advice on how to speak up for yourself in a medical system that doesn't always connect these dots. If you're someone who wants to take better care of yourself and catch problems before they sneak up, this episode is packed with tips that really hit home. And by the way, just to sweeten things up—my new Mighty Maca Mango is out now, perfect for spring and summer.

Colchicine

The Lancet Commission calls for a shift from focusing on late-stage ischaemia to targeting early atherosclerosis (ACAD)

Hypertension is known as the ‘silent killer,' but what if I told you it's NOT just about cholesterol or genetics? Today, we're diving deep into hypertension, heart disease, and how a functional medicine approach can transform cardiovascular health. My guest, Dr. Abid Husain, MD, FACC, ABAARM, FSSRP, is a board-certified cardiologist who integrates cellular medicine, hormone optimization, and cutting-edge therapies to address the real root causes of cardiovascular disease.In this episode, we break down:✅ The true causes of high blood pressure (hint: it's more than just salt and stress!)✅ The best exercise strategies proven to lower blood pressure✅ How hormones, peptides, and GLP-1 receptor agonists play a major role in cardiovascular health✅ Supplements that help – and some that you might want to avoid✅ Why inflammation and oxidative stress are the real threats to your heart

Let's break down key insights from a recent two-hour and 20-minute conversation between Dr. Peter Attia and renowned lipidologist Tom Dayspring.

In this week's podcast, a potential new therapeutic target in beta-thalassemia. The E3 ubiquitin ligase AMBRA1 promotes autophagic clearance of free alpha-globin. Researchers describe mutations in the AMBRA1 gene that impair this clearance, exacerbating ineffective erythropoiesis and disease severity. After that: targeting MYD88 mutations. Lasalocid-A is a compound that selectively binds to the MYD88 L265P mutant protein, which is found in a range of B-cell lymphomas. New research shows its potential to inhibit tumor growth, overcome ibrutinib resistance, and synergize with venetoclax. Finally: air pollution is linked to an increased risk of venous thromboembolism in a prospective, community-based cohort study. The findings highlight the harms of pollution, and support the case for global efforts to improve public health.Featured Articles:Mutations in AMBRA1 aggravate β-thalassemia by impairing autophagy-mediated clearance of free α-globinLasalocid A selectively induces the degradation of MYD88 in lymphomas harboring the MYD88 L265P mutationAir pollution is associated with increased risk of venous thromboembolism: the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis

Erectile Dysfunction affects 20-30 million American men and is likely under-reported. But 85% of cases are due to underlying health issues like Cardiovascular Disease. In this episode, you'll learn:—The difference between Male Impotence and Erectile Dysfunction.—How pharmaceuticals (like anti-Cholesterol medicines, Beta Blockers, and anti-depressants) are big contributors to E.D.—The astonishing statistics about declining Testosterone levels in military men since World War II. (And how these low levels are even being seen in young men who are still teenagers.)—The role Atherosclerosis and Diabetes play in E.D. And how Atherosclerosis is the #1 contributor to E.D.—Why it is "very rare" for men over 50 to have E.D. due to psychological and not physical causes. And how your libido is a key indicator for your overall health.—The "Hand Test" Dr. Prather says you can use to gauge the health of a man's erection. —Why alcohol has a negative effect on male performance and can actually shrink the testicles. And how smoking even TWO cigarettes can cause E.D.—The dangers of marijuana use for male sexual performance, including issues of infertility. And why Dr. Prather says it is "really difficult" to get Testosterone levels back up to normal levels in marijuana users.—How pornography is actually destroying male sexual performance, not enhancing it. —Why Dr. Prather says your sexual life is linked to your nutrition and "the better your nutrition, the better your virility". And the natural supplements that help with male sexual performance.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

High in fats and low in carbs, ketogenic diets were originally developed in the 1920s to treat children with epilepsy. Now, they've gained popularity for weight loss, and even improved cognitive function. But how much truth is there in the purported brain health benefits we see on social media? In this episode of ‘Your Brain On...', we separate the facts from the fads, and discuss: • What one might eat on a typical ketogenic diet • How ketogenic diets affect brain metabolism • The different ways your brain uses sources of energy — glucose vs. ketones • The latest data on ketogenic diet in Alzheimer's disease patients • What we know about how ketogenic diets and treatment of Alzheimer's • The outcome differences between ketogenic diets and ketone supplements in Alzheimer's • Other evidence-based nutritional approaches for brain health  For this episode, we welcome two world-renowned professionals in the field of nutrition and neuroscience: DR.
