Dr. Prather says it is a myth that cholesterol is the CAUSE of Cardiovascular Disease. High cholesterol is instead a SYMPTOM of Cardiovascular Disease. In this episode, you'll discover:—How the pharmaceutical companies had the labs change the reference ranges for cholesterol levels when cholesterol medications were developed. And why reference ranges on lab tests are NOT the ideal number Dr. Prather looks for.—That cholesterol is an essential building material the body uses to help heal damage in the body and is key to hormone production.—Why the Coronary Risk Factor ratio in your cholesterol number should be more of a focus than the overall cholesterol number.—How LOW cholesterol can cause fatigue, difficulty thinking, increased risk of cancer, loss of memory, mental confusion, and greater susceptibility to viruses.—The harmful side effects of statin drugs. And why Type II Diabetics and those with high liver enzymes should NOT take statin drugs.—How the #1 reason for high cholesterol is a sick liver. And the various underlying causes of high cholesterol: Low thyroid, Type II Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, mineral imbalances, low Vitamin D, kidney disease, pancreatic disease, and chronic pain.—That Cholesterol is more of a warning instead of the disease process itself. And why Dr. Prather says the key is finding the underlying cause and reason of high cholesterol.—Why Cancer patients need to keep their cholesterol levels HIGH. And why cholesterol drugs can actually increase your chance of Cancer.—How to regulate your cholesterol through diet by eating what Dr. Prather calls "real" food and by shopping only on the outside aisles of the grocery store.—Why you should have a goal to get off of statin drugs as soon as possible. Plus, the increased nutritional needs of your body when you are on statin drugs.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

The episode concludes with a discussion on the role of health policies and the future of integrative health approaches.
Blood sugar impacts everything—your energy, your sleep, your hormones, your brain, your heart, your thyroid, EVERYTHING. Yet most of us only hear about it in the context of diabetes. In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host, Jamie Belz, and fellow NTP, Ashley Lawrence, open the curtain on the real story behind why blood sugar is often the hidden root behind symptoms like PCOS, anxiety, insomnia, weight struggles, and even long-term risks like cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's. Ashley—known as the “Blood Sugar Bestie”—shares her personal journey of misdiagnosis, failed quick fixes, and finally discovering that blood sugar balance changes everything. Ashley shares: Her hopeful testimonial story and what she did to “lose her PCOS diagnosis.” Why PCOS is more than “just a hormone disorder”—and how insulin resistance drives much of the imbalance. Why some researchers call Alzheimer's “type 3 diabetes,” and what that really means. How early warning signs like skin tags and darkened patches can show up years before a diagnosis. The reality that blood sugar issues can simmer silently for a decade or more before being labeled diabetes. Practical, joy-filled strategies: pairing carbs with protein, food + mood journaling, hydration hacks, and short-term CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) experiments to see what works for your bio-individual body. CLEAN FATS make healthy hormones! (ALL natural fats are healthy - they need to be unadulterated and from clean sources.) This episode isn't about restriction. It's about freedom—learning how simple, everyday choices restore balance, resilience, and joy. Want to go deeper?

Current treatments for heart disease fail to address root causes. Stents and bypass surgery only restore blood flow temporarily without tackling underlying endothelial dysfunction and inflammation driving heart disease Despite their ability to lower cholesterol, statins have limitations. While these drugs lower LDL cholesterol by 25% to 35%, they don't address oxidative damage or rebuild vessel health, leaving underlying inflammatory processes unchanged Excess linoleic acid (LA) from vegetable oils fuels heart disease. Modern diets contain 7.2% LA, as opposed to 2.8% a century ago. This creates mitochondrial dysfunction and dangerous oxidized LDL cholesterol formation Reducing LA intake shows measurable cardiovascular benefits. Limiting LA to under 5 grams daily reduces inflammatory markers like hsCRP by 15% and IL-6 by 10% within weeks Novel approaches like nanoparticle chelation show promise. Targeted delivery systems can address calcified plaques directly, offering more precise treatment than traditional intravenous methods at lower costs
In this powerful episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons sits down with cardiologist Dr. Jack Wolfson to challenge the conventional wisdom on heart health. Together, they unpack the failures of mainstream cardiology, the risks of statins, and why true healing comes from addressing root causes—not masking symptoms with pharmaceuticals.From nutrition and stress management to environmental toxins and community support, Dr. Wolfson and Dr. Jenn explore the real drivers of cardiovascular health. They also discuss how COVID-19 reshaped the landscape of heart disease and why women face unique risks too often ignored in conventional medicine.This conversation is essential listening for anyone questioning the pill-for-every-ill approach, seeking practical steps for prevention, or wanting to reclaim ownership of their heart health.In This Episode, You Will Learn:Why cardiovascular disease remains the #1 killer worldwideHow pharmaceuticals often miss the root causeThe truth about statins and their limited benefitsThe central role of nutrition in heart healthHow stress and emotional health impact the heartWhy toxins in food, water, and air can drive diseaseThe dangers of rigid medical guidelinesThe overlooked link between breast cancer and heart diseaseWhy community and relationships protect cardiovascular healthHow women's unique risks demand a new approach
In this episode of Dare to Disrupt, host Ryan Newman speaks with Robert Chisena, co-founder and CTO of Amplitude Vascular Systems (AVS). AVS is a medical device company focused on safely and effectively treating severely calcified arterial disease. Robert shares his journey from growing up on Long Island in a family of physicians, to discovering his passion for research and entrepreneurship at Penn State, to co-founding an innovative medical device startup.Robert reflects on formative experiences at Penn State, including joining the Schreyer Honors College, diving into biomedical engineering research, and participating in Invent Penn State's first cohort of the Summer Founders Program. He then traces how his graduate work at the University of Michigan—collaborating closely with physicians—led to the development of AVS's intravascular lithotripsy technology, a novel approach to restoring blood flow in hardened arteries.Along the way, Robert discusses the challenges of taking research from lab to market, securing venture capital, and convincing physicians of a new device's safety and efficacy.Later in the episode, Penn State Ph.D. Candidate Marzia Momin joins the conversation. Marzia is working on a neuro-tech startup developing personalized, 3D-printed neural implants for neurological disorders, with applications in therapy and brain-computer interfaces. Marzia recently participated in both the Invent Penn State NSF I-Corps regional short course program and the NSF I-Corps National Teams program. She asks Robert about how to build the best startup team, raising funding as a research-based startup, and what advice he'd give to his younger self.This episode gives an inside look at the intersection of engineering, medicine, and entrepreneurship — and how Penn State alumni are driving innovation in healthcare.Episode Chapters1:30 No avoiding a medical-based career3:25 Choosing and navigating Penn State05:42 Exploring research as an undergrad at Penn State8:24 Launching first medical device startup at Penn State, Summer Founders Program11:54 Moving forward with startup through graduate school at Michigan14:43 Meeting co-founder, learning about the tech behind AVS16:07 The potential to create tremendous impact in cardiovascular disease treatment19:43 Translating and commercializing research out of a university20:49 Where AVS is today, looking to the future22:45 Rapid Fire Round24:27 Student Section25:13 Building the right startup team27:15 Filling in the blanks of business acumen28:04 Advice for securing early funding29:57 Navigating FDA regulations31:02 Advice for aspiring entrepreneursAbout Robert ChisenaRobert Chisena is the co-founder and CTO of AVS.

La question ets bien celle-ci: faut-il chausser ses baskets pour courir, ou marcher d'un pas vif suffit-il pour rester en bonne condition physique ? Les deux activités présentent des avantages réels, mais plusieurs études permettent de comparer leurs effets.Dépense énergétique et intensitéLa première différence tient à l'intensité. Courir mobilise davantage le système cardiovasculaire, augmente plus rapidement la fréquence cardiaque et brûle environ deux fois plus de calories par minute que la marche rapide. Pour perdre du poids ou améliorer son endurance, la course semble donc plus efficace à durée égale. Une étude publiée dans Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise a montré qu'une heure de course entraînait une dépense énergétique presque deux fois supérieure à une heure de marche soutenue.Santé cardiovasculaireMais si l'on compare à effort équivalent en termes de calories dépensées, la marche rapide rivalise largement. En 2013, une vaste étude menée par l'Université de Berkeley a suivi plus de 33 000 marcheurs et 21 000 coureurs pendant six ans. Résultat : les bénéfices sur l'hypertension, le diabète, l'hypercholestérolémie et le risque cardiovasculaire global étaient comparables, voire parfois supérieurs, chez les marcheurs. En clair, marcher vite, mais longtemps et régulièrement, protège presque autant le cœur que courir.Risques et contraintesLa course a toutefois un inconvénient : elle est plus traumatisante pour les articulations et augmente le risque de blessures, notamment tendinites ou douleurs aux genoux. La marche rapide, elle, est beaucoup mieux tolérée, accessible à presque tous les âges, et peut être pratiquée quotidiennement sans risque particulier. Cela explique pourquoi elle est souvent recommandée aux personnes en surpoids, sédentaires ou souffrant de pathologies chroniques.Effets sur la longévitéUne autre étude publiée dans Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases en 2019 a montré que les coureurs réguliers vivaient en moyenne trois ans de plus que les non-coureurs. Mais la marche rapide, pratiquée à raison de 30 minutes par jour, est également associée à une réduction significative du risque de mortalité, toutes causes confondues.En résuméLa course est idéale pour améliorer rapidement sa condition physique, brûler des calories et renforcer son endurance. La marche rapide, plus douce, procure presque les mêmes bénéfices cardiovasculaires, avec beaucoup moins de risques de blessures. Le choix dépend donc de votre profil : si vous êtes en bonne santé, aimez l'effort intense et cherchez un gain rapide, courez. Si vous préférez une activité durable, sans douleur ni contraintes, marchez vite. Dans les deux cas, la régularité compte plus que l'intensité : 30 minutes par jour suffisent déjà à transformer votre santé. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Today's guest is Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj, a powerful voice at the crossroads of advanced interventional cardiology and root-cause wellness. Dr. Bhojraj is board-certified in Cardiovascular Diseases and Interventional Cardiology, and one of only a small number of interventional cardiologists in the United States who is also certified in Functional Medicine through the Institute for Functional Medicine. Dr. Bhojraj earned his medical degree from Indiana University School of Medicine, trained in internal medicine at Northwestern, and completed a cardiology fellowship at the renowned Henry Ford Health System. For over two decades, he practiced in conventional cardiology, saving lives daily with stents, angioplasties, and transcatheter valve replacements. But along the way, something essential began to stir. He found himself asking bigger questions: Why do people arrive in the cath lab in the first place? Why are we not doing more to prevent the first or second heart event? And what role do nutrition, sleep, stress, and emotional health truly play in long-term cardiovascular outcomes? These questions led Dr. Bhojraj to Functional Medicine, not as an alternative, but as an evolution, a model that restores agency to patients and equips the body to heal through comprehensive lifestyle optimization. He now leads the Well12 Program, a transformational experience that guides individuals in upgrading the foundational systems of their health from metabolism to mindset, so they can live not just longer, but better. Today, Dr. Bhojraj and I explore the remarkable protein Klotho and the emerging science linking it to human longevity and health span.

In this compelling discussion, vascular surgeon Dr. Lily Johnston joins Dr. Philip Ovadia to share her journey from traditional surgical practice to metabolic health advocacy. After years of amputating limbs for diabetic patients who received poor nutritional guidance, Dr. Johnston couldn't unsee the devastating consequences of our healthcare system's approach to metabolic disease. She explains how surgeons fix anatomical problems without addressing the underlying metabolic dysfunction that causes blood vessel disease throughout the body.Dr. Johnston discusses how therapeutic carbohydrate reduction, hormone optimization, sleep quality, and stress management create better outcomes than surgery alone. She shares personal insights about her own health transformation through low-carb nutrition and her decision to create a practice balancing surgery with preventive care. The conversation reveals how traditional heart and vascular surgeries are temporary fixes that don't address root causes, leaving patients vulnerable to recurring problems.This interview bridges the gap between conventional medicine and functional approaches to metabolic health, offering hope for those looking to avoid major surgical interventions through targeted lifestyle modifications.BIG IDEASurgeons like Dr. Johnston and Dr. Ovadia have recognized that vascular and cardiac surgeries are temporary fixes—like placing buckets under a leaky roof rather than repairing the roof itself—and are now focusing on metabolic health interventions that address the root causes of disease.Lily Johnston MD contact infoWebsites: www.vascularhealthinstitute.orgnexushealthspan.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ljohnstonmdSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

The future of Disease Care medicine is described as Predictive, Preventive, Personalized, Participatory, and Precision. But Dr. Prather says all of those elements are already available in the Structure-Function Health Care that he practices. In this episode, find out:—The FDA distinction between Disease Care Medicine and Structure-Function Health Care.—Why Dr. Prather says that "Structure-Function has always had the 5 P's" which are "integral" to this philosophy of care.—How Structure-Function Health Care is best known for its preventative benefits, but should also be better known for its necessity after a disease has already developed. —How the functional lab tests at Holistic Integration can "pick up on problems way before they come", which can then be prevented.—Why Dr. Prather cautions against drastic action because of genetic tests that show a tendency of a patient to develop a disease in the future. —The amazing story of a patient during the AIDS crisis who developed all the symptoms of AIDS after receiving what turned out to be a false HIV-positive test, but the symptoms disappeared after the second (and correct) negative test came back. —How Dr. Prather encouragingly says that "everything can be changed, everything can be helped, and everything can be prevented". And why his experience with patients causes him to conclude that "having the right attitude makes all the difference in the world". —The importance of keeping the body structurally-aligned, as well as functionally-aligned, for the prevention of future issues. And how Dr. Prather sees that 90% of people no longer fit the "normal" pattern of structural alignment due to changes that he never witnessed at the start of his career 40 years ago.—The reason Dr. Prather says anti-Cholesterol statin drugs have done "more harm than good". And why using Cholesterol drugs as a preventative for future Cardiovascular Disease has failed. —Why Dr. Prather says that his three foundational lab tests (The Prather Profile Bloodwork, a Hair Analysis, and a stool kit) are usually all he needs to get a patient healthy before the need for "fancy" testing. http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

Send us a textOverview and alternative interpretation to the mainstream view on how dietary fat and cholesterol relate to cardiovascular disease.Episode Summary: Tucker Goodrich is an engineer by training who has become a prominent independent researcher and blogger on nutrition and metabolic health, focusing on the harms of seed oils and polyunsaturated fats.About the guest: Nick Jikomes and Tucker Goodrich explore atherosclerosis and heart disease, critiquing the standard model that blames high LDL cholesterol while highlighting how oxidized LDL—driven by dietary linoleic acid from seed oils—plays a key role in plaque formation and inflammation; they discuss historical shifts in heart disease rates, genetic factors like familial hypercholesterolemia, the limitations of animal studies, and why reducing seed oil intake could prevent issues more effectively than just lowering cholesterol.Discussion Points:Atherosclerosis involves plaque buildup in arteries, often leading to heart attacks, but plaques contain oxidized fats and cholesterol, not just native cholesterol.Dietary cholesterol has little impact on blood levels or heart disease in humans, unlike in rabbits used in many studies.High LDL may not be inherently bad; oxidized LDL from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) like linoleic acid causes macrophages to overeat and form harmful foam cells.Familial hypercholesterolemia patients only show higher heart disease rates in modern, industrial diets high in seed oils, not historically.Populations like the Kitavans and Tsimané have high apoB but no heart disease on traditional diets low in industrial foods.Fried foods are oxidized seed oils, explaining why they're unhealthy despite omega-6 fats being labeled "heart-healthy."Omega-3 fats can displace omega-6 in cells, reducing oxidation risk.Reference Papers:Witztum & Steinberg (1991)Boren et al.

This episode reveals how fasting is the most powerful tool for preventing cardiovascular disease and reversing metabolic dysfunction that affects 88% of Americans. Dr. Scott and Tommy explain why fasting goes far beyond weight loss to address the root cause of heart disease: insulin resistance and dangerous blood sugar variability. Discover how consistent fasting protocols can dramatically reduce your risk when every 1% increase in A1C levels raises heart problems by 12%, major cardiovascular events by 8%, and heart-related kidney issues by 17%. Learn why diabetics with the highest blood sugar swings face 2.5 times higher heart disease risk - and how fasting flattens these dangerous glucose spikes. The hosts break down how fasting reverses metabolic syndrome (affecting 25% of the population) and helps the 70-80 million undiagnosed pre-diabetics who have normal A1C but dangerously high fasting insulin levels. Understand how fasting prevents the "rust on a bumper" effect of cardiovascular disease that develops slowly over decades. Get specific fasting strategies for reducing glycemic variability, controlling insulin spikes, and using intermittent fasting as cardiovascular protection. This episode reveals why monitoring fasting insulin during your fasting journey is more important than cholesterol panels, and how consistent fasting protocols reverse the inflammatory cascade leading to heart disease, stroke, and metabolic syndrome. Essential for anyone using fasting to prevent cardiovascular disease and optimize metabolic health for life.
