"It's really hard to justify a test that has any complications if there isn't any reasonable expectation of benefit," says Dr. Rita Redberg, who has spent her career trying to help fellow clinicians consider the actual value of routine screenings and diagnostic testing in asymptomatic patients. Dr. Redberg -- a cardiologist and professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco for more than three decades -- is one of the leading voices advocating for a “high-value care” approach, an uphill fight in a healthcare system that tends to reward action over restraint. Her highest profile effort was launching the instructive “Less is More” series in JAMA Internal Medicine when she served as its editor-in-chief for 14 years. On a related track, her research on the assessment of the safety and effectiveness of medical technology, specifically high-risk cardiovascular devices, has yielded a troubling picture. "We found only 1% of devices enter the market through the FDA's most rigorous approval process. The high-quality evidence to support benefit for these devices that I had assumed was present, wasn't actually there.” Join Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith for an eye-opening exploration of what Dr. Redberg considers to be the overlooked risks and false reassurance of common tests and procedures, and her efforts to put the “do no harm” principle of medicine at the forefront of everyday practice.Mentioned in this episode:UCSF School of MedicineJAMA Internal Medicine's Less is More Series If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

How much time do you spend looking at a screen when you'd rather be making eye contact with your patient? In this MedAxiom HeartTalk, R. Kannan Mutharasan, MD, MBA, FACC, FAHA, cardiologist at Northwestern Medicine, shares how AI is helping clinicians stay focused on patients and uncover insights that could lead to earlier diagnoses. As the technology advances, the real work of realizing AI's potential in everyday cardiovascular care is just beginning.

Cardiologist and electrophysiologist Dr. Gregory Marcus, chair of the American Heart Association scientific statement writing group, reveals evidence on coffee/caffeine and cardiovascular health. He discusses how earlier assumptions that caffeine triggers arrhythmias are complicated by genetics, individual risk factors, and mostly observational research. Marcus reviews randomized and observational findings: the CRAVE trial showed no increase in premature atrial contractions but more premature ventricular contractions on coffee days; a trial in post-cardioversion patients found less atrial fibrillation with daily coffee. Observational data suggest lower risks of type 2 diabetes, heart attack, stroke, and AFib among coffee drinkers, while heart failure risk may be lower at low intake but higher around 4–5 drinks/day. He cautions against extrapolating benefits to energy drinks, discusses additives like sugar, touches on alcohol, cannabis, Mediterranean/DASH diets, pollution, and evolving AFib treatments, wearables, and pacing/ablation technologies.

The question Reiner raises is disclosure rather than diagnosis. What the White House releases about an 80 year old president does not match what is visible in daily footage, and the public has no reliable way to check. Hawk's comparison is to the last two years of Joe Biden's term, when people around him managed his schedule and limited his exposure, and to Ronald Reagan's final years in office. Those situations drew sustained coverage. This one has not, and Hawk's argument is that energy and volume are being mistaken for health. He closes by inviting viewers with medical training to weigh in, which is worth taking as an invitation to discuss what has been publicly reported rather than to diagnose anyone from a screen.

Dr. Safanah, cardiologist and activist is back from her humanitarian trip to Gaza to help patients. She joins us to tell her story about what she did and what she saw. To no ones surprise she tells that Israel's cruelty and devastation of Gaza continues despite a "so-called" ceasefire. However, she also describes the resilience of the people of Gaza as they rebuild the buildings, the infrastructure, the community and importantly their lives. They are the essence of resilience.

What Cardiologists Should Know About Aortic Pathology   Guest: Melanie Bois, M.D. Host: Malcom Bell, M.D.   Is all aortic disease the same?  In this episode, Dr. Melanie Bois reviews the major diagnostic categories of aortic disease and how they influence patient management, including surgical decision-making, surveillance, and genetic evaluation. The discussion involves the causes of heritable thoracic aortic aneurysms and highlights how pathology findings can provide important clues to underlying genetic syndromes. Finally, Dr. Bois outlines the spectrum of inflammatory aortic diseases and explore key differential diagnoses that help distinguish immune-mediated, infectious, and degenerative processes.   Topics Discussed: Are there special diagnostic considerations for the ascending versus descending aorta? What causes aneurysmal dilatation in the ascending aorta? How does the underlying cause impact management? What should I be looking for in the pathology report?   Connect with Mayo Clinic's Cardiovascular Continuing Medical Education online at https://cveducation.mayo.edu or on Twitter @MayoClinicCV and @MayoCVservices.

Send us Fan MailA lot of researchers quietly struggle with the same question: when is a study truly ready to publish, and how do you write it so someone actually uses it? From the AVMA Convention 2026, we sit down live with Dr. Joshua Stern, a veterinary cardiologist and geneticist whose work bridges cardiovascular disease, genomics, and clinical impact.We start with Joshua's path into cardiology, sparked by working with “super athlete” animals like racehorses and sled dogs, then move into what he learned from publishing early in his career, including a genetic screening project in boxer dogs that came back completely negative. The twist: those results still mattered, and they taught him how to frame significance, define impact, and tell the truth clearly without overselling. We also talk about how to decide when to stop collecting “just one more” datapoint and instead share findings that can help patients, clinicians, and other researchers now.From there, we get practical about scientific writing and peer review. We unpack how to distill complex datasets into an approachable manuscript, when to move tables and niche analyses into supplementary materials, and why a massive supplement can be a sign you're trying to write two papers. Joshua also shares his go-to mindset for reviewing and responding to reviews, including the simple habit of reading critiques, walking away, and coming back with a clearer lens. We close with a research challenge he hopes the field tackles next: the optimal timing of medical or surgical intervention in dogs and cats as advanced therapies expand.If you care about veterinary research, manuscript publishing, and clinician-scientist career skills, subscribe, share this with a colleague, and leave us a review with your biggest peer review lesson.INTERESTED IN SUBMITTING YOUR MANUSCRIPT TO JAVMA ®  OR AJVR ® ?JAVMA ® : https://avma.org/JAVMAAuthorsAJVR ® : https://avma.org/AJVRAuthorsFOLLOW US:JAVMA ® :Facebook: Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association - JAVMA | FacebookInstagram: JAVMA (@avma_javma) • Instagram photos and videosTwitter: JAVMA (@AVMAJAVMA) / Twitter AJVR ® : Facebook: American Journal of Veterinary Research - AJVR | FacebookInstagram: AJVR (@ajvroa) • Instagram photos and videosTwitter: AJVR (@AJVROA) / TwitterJAVMA ®  and AJVR ®  LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/avma-journals

This wonderful episode features three members of the generation that came of age in the 50's and 60s.  They are a shining example of this show's mantra... PROGRESS DESPITE OBSTACLES. They deliver a powerful message to this generation of what life was like for them growing, the obstacles they faced as they reached the pinnacles of success in their lives. Walter Beach was a member of AFL and the NFL. He was the starting cornerback on the 1964 World Champion Cleveland Brown with Jim Brown. But most importantly,  he became a Yale trained lawyer after football. Dr. Richard Allen Williams is a Harvard trained world known cardiologist, who founded the Association of Black Cardiologists. But, he is a professional Jazz trumpeter,  mentored by both Clifford Brown and Miles Davis. Bobby Hunter is a Stanford University train sociologist, who was a member of the world famous Harlem Globetrotters from 1966- 1974. He travel the country speaking at schools, colleges and other youth oriented venues. Their advice based on their education, life experiences and observations should be received with open arms. It is truly a marvelous episode. Don't miss viewing it!

Can heart rate variability actually predict illness before you feel it? What makes HRV rise or fall from day to day, and how should you use it? Dr Boon Lim is a consultant cardiologist and electrophysiologist at Hammersmith Hospital, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, and one of the UK's leading specialists in atrial fibrillation and the autonomic nervous system. In this episode we go deep on heart rate variability: what it really measures, what shifts it, when it is useful, and crucially when it is misleading.   Chapters 0:00 Introduction 0:30 Can HRV improve healthspan or reduce disease risk? 1:20 What heart rate variability actually is 2:31 The autonomic nervous system, your body's control room 3:40 Why you cannot think your heart rate up, but you can feel it up 4:03 Yin and yang: sympathetic and parasympathetic balance 4:52 Provoking ectopic beats with mental arithmetic in the cath lab 6:54 Does your resting heart rate determine your HRV? 8:57 Why athletes score higher, and why wearables measure overnight 9:55 What alcohol does to HRV, and how fast you recover 10:58 HRV as an early warning system, days before symptoms 12:32 The stressors nobody counts: emotion, purpose, security, trauma 14:12 HRV in IBS, fatigue and brain fog 14:46 Should you train on a low HRV day? 17:07 Track trends, not days 17:40 Why you should never compare your HRV to anyone else's 18:32 From 38 to 53: Boon's own HRV over eighteen months 19:08 HRV and ageing 20:17 Hormones, the menstrual cycle and HRV 22:33 The standardised two-minute autonomic assessment 23:20 Resonant frequency and the six-second breath 25:11 HRV as a treatment, not just a measurement 26:27 Building coherent breathing into an ordinary day 28:47 Breathing for anxiety and emotional regulation 29:47 The heart as a command centre: signals travelling upwards 31:02 Bottom-up physiology meets top-down emotion 32:33 Primary and secondary pain, phantom limbs and the splinter story 37:26 When to measure HRV: the morning protocol 39:22 When HRV is not a useful metric: AF and ectopic beats 42:09 Can a wearable detect undiagnosed atrial fibrillation? 44:14 LIVE DEMO: the 60-second coherence reset 48:18 Reading the coherence graph 49:40 Do you actually need a device? 51:41 When data-driven medicine falls short: the long covid lesson 53:20 ENO Breathe: singing as breath training 54:17 Connection, community and loneliness as autonomic medicine 59:07 Where to find Dr Boon Lim     What we cover Heart rate variability is not a fitness score. It is a window into the autonomic nervous system, the part of you that runs your heartbeat, your gut, your sweat glands and your stress response without ever asking permission. Dr Lim explains why the heart is not a metronome, why two people with identical heart rates can have wildly different HRV, and why your watch does most of its measuring while you sleep. We also get into the stressors most people never count. Alcohol, jet lag and poor sleep are the obvious ones. Job insecurity, unresolved trauma, loneliness and a lack of purpose sit underneath, and they shape your autonomic baseline far more than any single bad night. Then there is the part almost nobody covers: when HRV becomes useless. In atrial fibrillation, HRV goes sky high, but that high HRV is not a good sign. Ectopic beats skew it the same way. Boon explains how to spot this, and how a sudden unexplained jump in HRV on a wearable has flagged undiagnosed AF in his own patients.   A live demonstration: the 60-second autonomic reset Boon takes out a HeartMath Inner Balance sensor and shows coherent breathing in real time, with live biofeedback on screen. You watch his heart rate settle into a smooth sinusoidal wave and his coherence score shoot up in under two minutes. This is the top-down, bottom-up approach he uses in clinic: slow nasal diaphragmatic breathing to send calming signals up from the heart to the brain, paired with a deliberate positive emotion sent down from the brain to the body. Both directions at once. No theory, just a measurable shift you can simply observe in 2 minutes, and hopefully replicate with the tools and techniques shown in the live demonstration.     Resources and further reading Free patient education www.StopFainting.com , Dr Lim's free resource for fainting, dizziness, orthostatic intolerance, POTS and autonomic dysfunction, with self-management strategies you can start today. www.DrBoonLim.co.uk, clinical background, atrial fibrillation, arrhythmia and syncope services.

In this episode, I sit down with Doug Evans to make the case for the humble sprout as one of the most underrated foods for your heart. Most people push sprouts to the side of the plate as a garnish. Doug and I think that's a mistake.We talk about broccoli sprouts and sulforaphane, the plant compound that research has tied to the NRF2 pathway, glutathione production, and your body's own antioxidant and detox defenses. For me, that matters because oxidative stress and the health of your endothelium sit closer to the root of heart disease than the LDL and HDL numbers most cardiologists chase.Doug also walks through the practical side: which seeds to start with, why three-day-old sprouts are the most potent, how to tell healthy root hairs from mold, and why growing your own runs about a fifth of the grocery-store price. If you want one simple daily habit that lines up with how your body was actually designed to heal, this conversation is worth your time.- - - - -About the Guest:Doug Evans is the co-founder of The Sprouting Company and the author of The Sprout Book, a top-100 Amazon bestseller. A longtime pioneer in the natural-food world, he has spent more than thirty years championing whole, plant-based foods. After moving to the Mojave Desert and landing in a literal food desert, Doug began sprouting nearly all of his own food and turned that experience into a mission to make countertop sprouting simple, affordable, and accessible. He designed The Sprouting Company's growing kit and tracked down high-glucoraphanin broccoli seeds so anyone can grow nutrient-dense sprouts at home in days, without soil, sunshine, or fertilizer.Website: thesproutingcompany.comInstagram: @dougevans | @thesproutingcompanyBook: The Sprout Book- - - - -Jack Wolfson, DO, FACCWebsites: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://drjackwolfson.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠; ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://naturalheartdoctor.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjackwolfson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ready to move past the confusion and fear of typical heart health approaches? Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠naturalheartdoctor.com/discovery⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to schedule your free discovery call and start your journey toward a 100-year heart with real, evidence-based answers.- - - - -PODCAST Thank you for listening. Please subscribe and share. This podcast is produced by DrTalks.com ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://drtalks.com/podcast-service/

Is a plant-based diet the best for supporting metabolic health? Cardiologist Dr. Jaimela Dulaney spent years practicing plant-based nutrition before her own experience with insulin resistance, blood sugar swings, and endurance running led her to rethink what personalized nutrition can look like.In this episode, Dr. Bret Scher speaks with Dr. Dulaney about what changed her perspective, both personally and professionally.They cover:How CGMs helped reveal unexpected blood sugar patternsWhy insulin resistance can show up even in active, normal-weight individualsHow Dr. Dulaney thinks about LDL cholesterol in the context of metabolic healthWhy low-carb and ketogenic diets may help some people improve energy, recovery, and blood sugar stabilityWhy there may not be one “best diet” for every patientThis conversation highlights the importance of listening to patients, tracking meaningful lab trends, and staying open to new evidence when personal experience and clinical outcomes begin to tell a different story.

In this episode, Akhil Narang, MD, Cardiologist and Director of the Echocardiography Lab at Northwestern Medicine Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute, and Amogh Karnik, MD, Cardiologist at Northwestern Medicine Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute, join the podcast to discuss the operational requirements for successfully implementing AI in cardiovascular care. They also explore the growing role of AI-assisted imaging technology and how it is enhancing diagnostic accuracy, improving clinical workflows, and supporting better patient outcomes.

What the Cardiologist Needs to Know About Marfan Syndrome   Guest: Juan Bowen, M.D. Host: Malcolm Bell, M.D.   The prevalence of Marfan syndrome is estimated to be 1 in 5,000 people. Approximately 75% of cases are inherited and 25% are de novo mutations. Marfan syndrome is caused by mutations in the gene encoding for fibrillin 1. Management includes protection of the aorta with medication, surveillance imaging, and timely preventive aortic repair. Extracardiac problems are less lethal but affect quality of life.   Topics Discussed: What are the physical findings in Marfan syndrome? What is the relationship of fibrillin 1 to the TGF beta pathway? Which medications have been shown to have aortic protective effects? When should patients have aortic repair?

What does it look like to build a big clinical career and stay well doing it? This week Jo sits down with Dr Jennifer Coller — senior cardiologist, regional practitioner, and founder of Pulse Point Academy — to find out. Jen's burnout never stopped her showing up to work. But it quietly hollowed out everything outside of it. What changed wasn't willpower. It was systems, environment, and intentional design. In this episode: Why the clinicians most at risk are often the ones who care the most How Jen redesigned her environment to make sustainability the default The power of micro-recoveries over waiting for annual leave Identifying your personal yellow flags before you need them Women's heart health — the gaps that are still being missed About Dr Jennifer Coller: Senior cardiologist based in Shepparton, VIC, and founder of Pulse Point Academy — delivering accessible, evidence-based cardiovascular education to regional and rural clinicians across Australia.

Cardiologists spend their careers talking about cholesterol. On this episode, I wanted to go one level deeper, down to the cell membrane, because that's where heart health is really decided. Justine Stenger has spent years studying phospholipids like phosphatidylcholine, the fats that build the membranes wrapping every one of your cells and your mitochondria.We talk about why the membrane, not the nucleus, acts as the brain of the cell, and how cholesterol fits into that picture as a helper rather than a villain. Justine walks through how a phospholipid shortage may push the liver to make more cholesterol to repair membrane damage, why our modern toxic load makes that shortage so common, and what food, oral, and clinical approaches she looks at to support cellular repair. We also cover the lab markers you can track over time, from cholesterol and triglycerides to homocysteine, so this stays practical, not just theoretical.- - - - -About the Guest:Justine Stenger is a cellular-health educator and the Lead Educator at BodyBio, where she teaches practitioners and patients about phospholipids, fatty acids, and mitochondrial health. She earned her degree from the University of Alberta, trained in holistic nutrition through Bauman College, and completed her Functional Medicine training through the Institute for Functional Medicine, where she is a certified Functional Medicine Health Coach. She is also Bredesen (ReCODE) trained.With more than a decade supporting people with complex, chronic illness, Justine focuses on cell membrane medicine: giving cells the raw materials they need to repair, recharge, and do the work they were built to do.Website: justinestenger.comA special thank you to our presentation sponsor, BodyBio!

A newly published study called NATURE-CT is generating significant attention in the cardiovascular and ketogenic communities, but some of the conclusions being drawn online don't hold up to scientific scrutiny. Dr. Bret Scher walks through what the study actually shows, what it doesn't, and why comparisons being made to ketogenic therapy are scientifically misleading.In this discussion, you'll learn:What the NATURE-CT study examined and what its findings mean for coronary plaque progressionWhy the average LDL of 111 mg/dL still showed substantial plaque progressionWhat this data may suggest about looking beyond LDL as the sole driver of coronary diseaseWhy comparisons being made between NATURE-CT and KETO-CTA are scientifically flawedWhy the original KETO-CTA manuscript was retracted and what that means for current claimsHow baseline coronary artery calcium scores influence valid scientific comparisonsWhy findings in lean mass hyper-responders cannot be extrapolated to all forms of ketogenic therapyHow metabolic health, not just LDL, may be a critical factor in understanding cardiovascular riskThis conversation underscores the importance of evaluating studies on their actual design and findings, rather than the conclusions being layered on top of them. For clinicians, researchers, and anyone navigating the cardiovascular and ketogenic conversation, the precision of the science matters.

In this episode of Resiliency Radio, Dr. Jill Carnahan welcomes cardiologist and longevity expert Dr. Abid Husain for an eye-opening discussion on the future of cardiovascular medicine. After years in conventional cardiology, Dr. Husain recognized that treating heart disease after it develops is not enough. Today, he combines cardiology, functional medicine, regenerative therapies, hormone optimization, and peptide science to help patients prevent disease and optimize performance. Together, they explore the hidden drivers of cardiovascular disease, including inflammation, gut dysfunction, toxic burden, sleep disturbances, hormone imbalances, and metabolic health. This conversation offers a roadmap for anyone interested in preventing heart disease, improving longevity, and understanding how regenerative medicine is reshaping the future of cardiac care.

What if heart disease wasn't bad luck, but bad planning? In this episode, Dr. Robert Todd Hurst, MD, FACC, FASE joins Carrie Camp and Hal Kramer of the Thrive at Home community for an honest conversation about what it really takes to prevent heart disease, stay independent as you age, and add healthy, vibrant years to your life. A Mayo Clinic–trained preventive cardiologist, Dr. Hurst shares why he left a system he describes as built to react to disease rather than prevent it, including the leadership meeting where, after he showed how prevention could stop heart attacks, stents, and bypass surgeries, a colleague asked, "But isn't that how we make money?" Together they dig into the questions people are quietly wondering about themselves: the truth about statins (who genuinely benefits and who may not), why insulin resistance may be the single biggest problem in healthcare, what "normal" cholesterol numbers can hide, and how high blood pressure quietly drives stroke and dementia. Dr. Hurst also explains the seven root causes of artery disease, why care that treats everyone the same so often misses the real driver, and how the right plan can stabilize and even reverse disease that's already present. If you've been told your labs "look fine," you're caring for an aging loved one, or you simply refuse to leave your heart health to chance, this conversation offers a clearer, more proactive path forward. Robert Todd Hurst, MD, FACC, FASE is a board-certified preventive cardiologist and founder of HealthspanMD. With nearly 30 years in medicine, including two decades at Mayo Clinic, he's dedicated his career to preventing and reversing heart disease through a personalized, root-cause approach helping people avoid preventable disease, stay strong, and remain mentally sharp for life.

In a recent interview with Alan Skorski, Dr. Jacob Agronin, a cardiology fellow, detailed the antisemitism he and other Jewish physicians face within their union — the Committee of Interns and Residents (CIR) — and explained why he felt compelled to testify before Congress. Dr. Agronin appeared before the House Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor, and Pensions to highlight what he described as the union's adoption of positions aligned with Hamas and Hezbollah supporters, amid broader concerns about antisemitism infiltrating healthcare — a field many expected to remain free of political and religious conflict. CIR, which represents more than 37,000 physicians and is affiliated with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), has passed resolutions declaring Israel guilty of “apartheid” and “genocide,” endorsing the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, and directing the union to oppose candidates who support legislation criminalizing BDS. The resolutions also reject equating antisemitism with anti-Zionism and claim that concerns over rising antisemitism are being exploited to stifle anti-Zionist organizing, according to Agronin's testimony. The union has also expressed support for figures associated with Hamas and Hezbollah, including Mahmood Khlail, a former Columbia University student targeted for deportation by the Trump administration. In his interview with Skorski, Agronin recounted noticing troubling signs about the union approximately a year ago when his hospital voted to join CIR. He described being disturbed by the organization's focus on anti-Israel positions that have nothing to do with patient care or medicine. When asked what motivated him to testify, Agronin told Skorski: “I didn't want any of this… but someone had to stand up and say something.” Agronin, a cardiology fellow at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia, emphasized two primary concerns for Jewish doctors: being forced to pay dues to a union they did not choose that targets them and Israeli colleagues, and the politicization of medicine. He argued that CIR's resolutions align it with activists who disrupted college campuses following the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel. In the interview, Agronin noted that he first became aware of rising antisemitism on college campuses about 10 years ago and was surprised to see it extend into healthcare. He connected with the American Jewish Medical Association and the National Right to Work Legal Defense Fund for support before his congressional testimony. The testimony and interview come as reports of antisemitism in medical settings — including calls to exclude Israeli doctors and hostile environments for Jewish patients and providers — have increased since Oct. 7 -VIN News Watch the interview on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni9pERXNv2Q Alan Skorski Reports 14JUNE2026 - PODCAST

Pharmac has recently proposed changing who can receive funded treatment for key diabetes medication, moving it in line with a cabinet directive from 2024 saying public services should be prioritised on the basis of need, not race. There has been an outcry from health professionals, such as the cardiac network, saying data shows that Maori and Pacific people are more at risk of diabetes, regardless of their socio-economic status, and the best way to maximise health benefit for dollars spent is by targeting these groups. Further criticism has been directed at Health NZ, which has banned the cardio network from objecting to the removal of eligibility criteria, saying it would breach the 2024 cabinet directive. Cardiologists will be forced to make submissions as individuals, a move the network has said is silencing scientific evidence in the name of politics  To discuss the eligibility changes and Health NZ silencing cardiologists, host Thomas spoke to Association of Salaried Medical Specialists executive director Sarah Dalton.

My cardiologist ran a full cardiac workup (MRI, stress test, ambulatory ECG, labs) and told me I was perfectly healthy. I was 40 lbs overweight, insulin-resistant, nutritionally deficient, and running on 2–4 hours of sleep. Everything was "normal." Nothing was fine. ▶ FREE email course: the exact steps I used to go from dysfunction toward resilient health (no cost, straight to your inbox): https://medgeeks.co/get-started/metabolic-health/ If you're a clinician, this one's for you. You read labs all day, but nobody is reading yours. And "normal" labs can hide a metabolism that's quietly drifting years before any diagnosis shows up. In this video, I break down the gap between what your bloodwork flags and what your body is actually doing; why conventional medicine is built to catch disease but not dysfunction, why the reference range fails you, and what it actually takes to move toward what I call resilient health. We cover insulin resistance, the reference range problem, cellular metabolism, an autoimmune marker (ANA) that turned negative once I fixed the underlying environment, and the full spectrum from dysfunction to disease-free to resilient health.

The same instinct that makes you a careful clinician may be the one sabotaging your financial future. Cardiologist and fiduciary financial planner Stanley Liu joins this episode to explain why physicians' deeply trained aversion to risk becomes maladaptive once it leaves the hospital. This episode is based on his article "Physician financial risk: Balancing capacity and tolerance," published on KevinMD. You will learn why risk capacity and risk tolerance are two different variables, and why mistaking one for the other quietly drives bad financial decisions. You will hear why the physicians most at financial risk are those with low capacity and high tolerance, and why high-earning doctors with no debt sometimes stay stuck in toxic jobs they have the financial freedom to leave. You will also learn what questions a planner asks to surface the money scripts shaping your choices. Listen if you have ever wondered whether your discomfort with financial risk is protecting you or holding you back. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

According to the USDA, wheat ranks third after corn and soybeans with regard to its acreage, production, and farm receipts and is grown on roughly 37 million acres. Since its peak in 1981, wheat is now declining in acreage, down some 45 million acres which is perhaps the good news. Typically 1,000 acres in size, the average wheat farm is highly industrialized; as of 2020, some 150 different pesticides and herbicides were commonly sprayed on winter and spring wheat. Given the industrial scale of corn, soy, wheat, and cotton crops, heavy chemical usage of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides has become business as usual. Our guest in this show from 2023, Dr. William Davis, Cardiologist and Author of the books Wheat Belly, Undoctored, and Super Gut [https://drdavisinfinitehealth.com/about/], exposes the problem with our wheat addiction and has connected the dots between gut health and common modern ailments and complaints. He observed over 80% of the people in his cardiology medical practice were pre-diabetic or diabetic. In an effort to reduce blood sugars, he had patients remove all wheat products from their diet based on the simple fact that foods made of wheat flour raise blood sugar higher than nearly all other foods. In 1958, approximately 1.6 million people were diagnosed with diabetes; that figure has skyrocketed now to 36 million people in 2023. It is estimated that roughly 75% of the population suffers from either insulin resistance, pre-diabetes or diabetes. The source of diabetes can often be traced back to the opioid-like addictive qualities of wheat and grains. Inflammation, obesity, celiac disease, heart disease, insulin resistance, cataracts, accelerated aging, skin issues, and neurodegenerative diseases constitute just some of the myriad problems that can arise from continued consumption of modern wheat and the supposed "healthy whole grains" that we've been encouraged to eat for a balanced diet. Dr. Davis shares how eliminating wheat and restoring our gut microbiomes are the means by which we might reclaim our personal, collective and ecosystem health.

In this episode of The Visible Voices Podcast, Dr. Columbus Batiste — interventional cardiologist, lifestyle medicine physician, Regional Chief of Cardiology for Southern California Permanente Medical Group, founder of Healthy Heart Nation, and author of Selfish: A Cardiologist's Guide to Healing a Broken Heart — makes the case that prescriptions and procedures alone are not enough. Dr. Batiste draws on the preventable losses of his father and father-in-law to explore why moderation is not a health strategy, what inflammation and silent chronic disease are doing beneath the surface, and how food, breath, love, sleep, and laughter are evidence-based medicine. He shares the science behind hibiscus tea, dark leafy greens, garlic, blueberries, and beets as blood pressure and heart health tools, and offers practical guidance for patients at every income level.

Are you lean, exercising and eating right, but yet, your cholesterol shows a different story? Maybe it's super high and you cant explain why? So, high cholesterol may not always be a problem… and we actually may be over-treating numbers and missing what what actually drive heart disease.  We cover: Why high LDL doesn't always mean high risk The real role of statins vs newer medications and if and when to use them How genetics, diet, and metabolism change cholesterol response What actually improves cardiovascular health (beyond labs) The surprising tools you never heard of that may support vascular function   Trained in conventional cardiology, Dr. Husain recognized early the limits of reactive medicine. That insight led him to pursue advanced training in preventive, functional, hormonal, and cellular-based therapies, integrating these disciplines into a deeply individualized approach to cardiovascular care. Beyond the clinic, he serves as an educator and scientific advisor, helping clinicians and organizations rethink how we assess cardiovascular risk, resilience, and overall long-term health. He is also a multi-sport athlete, artist, and lifelong learner, because he believes true health is not just measured in years lived, but in vitality, creativity, and meaning.

Send us Fan Mail There's a particular kind of exhaustion that comes from being the person you had to become just to get through something. This episode is for anyone who has survived the hard thing, and is quietly wondering why they still feel like they're surviving it. Yusuf sits down with Dr. Kaci Myers, Army veteran, certified life and love coach, author, and founder of Speaking Freedom. Dr. Kaci challenges the idea that healing means fixing something broken. Instead, she walks through reframing trauma so the lesson outweighs the trigger, the accountability work nobody wants to do in relationships, why we keep dating the same person in different bodies, and why journaling is the single most powerful practice for breaking patterns. A direct, grounded conversation about self-leadership, self-respect, and learning to hear your own soul before you hear anyone else's voice. About the Guest: Dr. Kaci Myers is the CEO and founder of Speaking Freedom, a virtual life coaching center, and the developer of the Spiritual Human Behavior framework, an evolving area of psychology that integrates spirituality, human behavior, and heart healing for purpose-driven living. She is an Army veteran, certified Life, Love, and Relationship Coach, Licensed Massage Therapist, ordained minister, mediation specialist, and the author of It's My Time (2006), with additional books and courses in production. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, she is widely known as "the Cardiologist of the Emotionally Scarred" for her direct, compassionate approach to helping clients move past trauma and into self-led purpose. Key Takeaways: Survival mode never fully leaves. Triggers aren't always bad, but learning to recognize them is the first step out of constant defense. Healing isn't about fixing what was broken. It's about reframing the experience so the lesson outweighs the trigger. After loss, find the lessons. Going back through memories to pull out what someone taught you, in good times and bad, slowly transforms grief into gratitude. After a breakup, do the accountability work. What did you ignore? What did you allow? What inside you made the treatment feel okay? We don't keep dating different people. We keep dating the same person in different bodies, until we stop ignoring our own soul's "no." Write it down. Journaling creates accountability that thinking alone can't. Patterns become visible only when you can read them back to yourself.

What if the cholesterol medication your doctor insists could save your life is actually increasing your risk of the very disease it's supposed to prevent? A board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon who has personally performed over 3,000 open-heart surgeries joins us this week with a message he says most cardiologists will not say out loud: the majority of his patients should never have ended up on his table. Dr. Philip Ovadia lost nearly 100 pounds while operating on other people's hearts, reversed his own prediabetes, and spent the last decade asking a question his colleagues are not comfortable with: what is actually causing heart disease? This episode goes deep. You will learn why your LDL number tells you almost nothing meaningful without particle size testing, why statins lower the wrong kind of cholesterol, and why insulin resistance is a far bigger driver of heart events than anything showing up on a standard lipid panel. Dr. Ovadia also walks through the most important heart tests most women have never had, including the coronary artery calcium scan he calls "the mammogram for your heart," and gives his take on every medication in the conversation from statins to Zetia to Repatha. If you have ever left a cardiology appointment more confused and scared than when you walked in, this one is for you.   Learn More About Dr. Philip Ovadia Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/ifixhearts  Website ➜ http://ifixhearts.com/  Preorder Stay Off My Kitchen Table ➜  https://stayoffmykitchentable.com/  Thank you to our show sponsors:  TIMELINE: Timeline is offering 20% off your order of Mitopure!
