Work with a Muscle Intelligence Coach: https://www.muscleintelligence.com/apply/   Dr. Nathan Bryan has spent 25 years researching nitric oxide, the gas your body produces to open blood vessels and move oxygen into every cell you have. In this conversation he explains why production drops roughly 10 to 12 percent per decade, why a man in his forties is often operating on half of what he had, and what that decline shows up as first. Ben and Dr. Bryan cover the symptom hierarchy of nitric oxide deficiency, why sexual function is the earliest signal and what it says about the rest of the arterial system, why 50 percent of men prescribed PDE5 drugs get no benefit from them, why arginine and citrulline based products do not restore production in men who need it most, and the everyday habits that quietly shut the whole system down. They also get into what has to be in place before fasting, sauna, training and supplementation can do what they are supposed to do, and Dr. Bryan walks through his own daily protocol at 50 with the vascular age of a 32 year old. Top 5 Takeaways 1. Why sexual function is a vascular readout, not a bedroom problem. 2. You lose 10 to 12 percent of production every decade, and by 40 to 50 you are running on half. 3. The three ordinary daily habits are shutting the system down. 4. Why most of what is sold as a nitric oxide booster cannot work, and for some men it makes things worse. 5. Why nitric oxide is the prerequisite sitting underneath every protocol the avatar is already running.   Chapters 00:00 Why This Conversation Matters for Men Over 40 04:25 What Nitric Oxide Is, and the Hierarchy of What It Breaks First 08:50 How Fast You Lose It: 10 to 12 Percent Every Decade 10:12 Mouthwash, Fluoride and Antacids: The Daily Habits Shutting It Down 13:13 Why the Food Supply No Longer Delivers the Nutrients You Need 16:07 Glyphosate, Heavy Metals and the Toxin Load 17:26 Inside the Endothelium: How the System Actually Breaks 20:11 Glycocalyx vs Endothelium: What Each One Does 22:01 Why Most Nitric Oxide Supplements Do Nothing 24:23 The Arginine Paradox and the Trial They Had to Stop 27:55 What Your Pre-Workout Is Actually Doing 28:52 Where to Start: Remove the Blockers, Then Restore Production 31:24 Sunlight, Infrared, and Nitric Oxide Storage 32:57 Dietary Sources, and Why They Fail Without the Right Bacteria 34:04 Viagra and Cialis: Why They Do Nothing for Nitric Oxide 37:43 Plant-Based vs Carnivore Through a Blood Flow Lens 40:52 Greens Powders and Beet Products: What the Testing Shows 42:25 How Nitric Oxide Is Actually Measured 46:15 Rebuilding the Oral Microbiome and Stomach Acid 50:55 The Foundation: Why Nothing Else Works Until This Does 53:41 Dr. Bryan's Daily Protocol at 50 57:07 Hyperbaric Oxygen and Tissue Repair 59:25 Proteolytic Enzymes and the Understand-the-Mechanism Rule 1:03:31 Statins, Cholesterol, and the Wrong Target 1:07:06 What Actually Causes Cardiovascular Disease 1:10:34 Where to Find Dr. Bryan   Connect with Dr. Nathan S.

Captain Ahab had the ocean; we apparently have sports-radio archives and people with way too much free time. Then there’s dinner. A simple plan. What could possibly go wrong? Everything. Instead of arriving at the Temple of Cholesterol for some artery-clogging fellowship, Ben somehow ends up in a cul-de-sac involving a Honda and fertilizer. Honda. Fertilizer. Cul-de-sac. Perfect.

Let’s talk about testosterone testing and other important blood tests you can track for your overall health, wellness, vitality, and longevity. I recorded this show on the occasion of my first visit to the blood lab after signing up for Vitals Vault’s premium program, and I talk about some of my favorite markers while pedaling home from the lab. I focus a lot on testosterone because I believe it’s a great proxy for overall wellness, vitality, recovery, and resilience to stress. I share my own numbers, which have ranged from 562 to 1,004, and explain why I’m so intent on keeping testosterone levels high as I age. I also get into the roughly 1% annual decline in average male testosterone levels since the 1980s, vitamin D and the widespread fear of the sun, why looking beyond LDL can give you a better picture of your lipid panel, and the lifestyle practices that can help optimize testosterone—from sleep and diet to avoiding chronic cardio, lifting heavy things, sprinting once in a while, and even maintaining a winning relationship. TIMESTAMPS: Testosterone testing is the best proxy for your overall state of wellness, vitality, and recovery or resilience to stress. [00:51] Brad checks his testosterone level frequently because it is his way of monitoring the stress impact from his training. [5:41] Triglycerides to HDL ratio is a premier indicator of your heart disease risk factor. It is much better than looking at total LDL cholesterol. [06:42] In 2017 they lowered the ideal level of testosterone due to the widespread decline of testosterone among males around the world. [09:02] If you are not optimizing your sleep, including down and rest time, you cannot reduce your stress. [12:13] Get the junk out of your diet. If you are in that chronic cardio pattern in your exercise, you may be tanking your testosterone. [12:37] If there is arguing and other dysfunctional patterns in your relationship, it will tank your testosterone as well as shorten your lifespan. [13:34] Vitamin D comes from sun exposure more than from your diet or pills. [14:30] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com BradNutrition.com B.rad Whey Protein Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

What if we've been focusing on the wrong things when it comes to preventing heart disease? In this episode of Optimal Metabolism, I sit down with Daniel Trevor, heart attack survivor, citizen scientist, serial entrepreneur, and author of Unholy Trinity: How Carbs, Sugar & Oils Make Us Fat, Sick & Addicted and How to Escape Their Grip. Daniel's interest in cardiovascular and metabolic health became deeply personal after suffering a heart attack despite believing he was doing the right things for his health. That experience sent him deep into the research surrounding cholesterol, insulin resistance, blood sugar, type 2 diabetes, nutrition, and cardiovascular disease. And this conversation challenges a LOT of conventional thinking! We explore whether cholesterol alone gives us an accurate picture of cardiovascular risk, why metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance deserve much more attention in the heart disease conversation, and which tests Daniel believes can provide a better picture of what's happening before a cardiovascular event occurs. We also get into statins, vegetable oils, low-fat diets, processed foods, obesity, prediabetes, and why our rates of metabolic disease have risen so dramatically. You don't have to agree with every perspective presented in this episode to benefit from asking better questions about your health. My hope is that this conversation encourages you to become more informed about your own metabolic health, understand your numbers, and have deeper conversations with your healthcare provider. WHAT WE DISCUSSED: Daniel's own heart attack and why it completely changed the direction of his life Why he began questioning conventional thinking surrounding cholesterol and heart disease Is high cholesterol always an accurate predictor of cardiovascular risk? The relationship between insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, blood sugar, and heart disease Why prediabetes and insulin resistance can go undetected for years Which cardiovascular tests and markers Daniel believes deserve more attention The controversy surrounding statins and their relationship with blood sugar and type 2 diabetes What Daniel believes we've gotten wrong about vegetable oils and dietary fat Why he challenges conventional low-fat nutrition advice Processed foods, appetite, cravings, and our modern food environment What's really behind the dramatic rise in obesity and metabolic disease What the Blue Zones can—and can't—teach us about longevity Practical steps you can take to better understand your metabolic and cardiovascular health ABOUT DANIEL TREVOR Daniel Trevor is a citizen scientist, serial entrepreneur, heart attack survivor, and author of Unholy Trinity: How Carbs, Sugar & Oils Make Us Fat, Sick & Addicted and How to Escape Their Grip. Following his own heart attack, Daniel immersed himself in research surrounding cardiovascular disease and metabolic health. His book draws from more than 1,200 scientific references as he explores the relationships among our modern diet, insulin resistance, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.

HEALTH NEWS   Chamomile Rinse Matches Chlorhexidine in Reducing Plaque and Gum Inflammation, Trial Finds A few minutes of sprinting could make a bigger impact than 90 minutes of moderate running Ultra-processed foods linked to higher prostate cancer risk in men Cinnamon Supplementation Associated With Lower Blood Sugar and Cholesterol in Review of 21 Meta-Analyses Healthy lifestyle cuts hearing impairment risk by 14%, metabolism is key driver     Chamomile Rinse Matches Chlorhexidine in Reducing Plaque and Gum Inflammation, Trial Finds Western University of Arad (Romania), August 12 2026  (Natural News)   A chamomile herbal rinse reduced plaque buildup and gum inflammation on par with chlorhexidine. Researchers enrolled 175 healthy adults and divided them into five groups: chamomile, sage, ginger, placebo, or chlorhexidine rinses, the report stated.   Over twelve weeks, researchers tracked plaque accumulation and gingival inflammation using standardized dental indexes. Participants rinsed daily with their assigned solution, and measurements were recorded at intervals across the study period.    Chamomile's effect relies on plant compounds including apigenin and chamazulene, which act through anti-inflammatory pathways, while chlorhexidine works through strong antimicrobial action, researchers said. Chamomile flower material contains acylated derivatives of apigenin 7-O-glucoside. Every active rinse, including chamomile, produced significant reductions compared to placebo. Chamomile performed statistically on par with chlorhexidine, the rinse most dentists reach for first.  Chlorhexidine is a prescription-strength antiseptic that dentists consider the gold standard for controlling plaque. Long-term chlorhexidine use commonly causes tooth staining, taste changes, and irritation of soft tissue inside the mouth.   A few minutes of sprinting could make a bigger impact than 90 minutes of moderate running Rockefeller University, August 13 2026 (Eurekalert) Three minutes of sprinting can do something that 90 minutes of moderate exercise apparently cannot: dramatically reshape the molecular contents of the bloodstream. Rockefeller researchers comparing different intensities of exercise found that six sets of 30-second, all-out sprints altered nearly a quarter of the proteins measured immediately afterward. Moderate, continuous cycling for 90 minutes altered fewer than one-quarter of one percent. And while moderate running on a treadmill changed more proteins than cycling, it still altered far fewer than a quick sprint. Sprinting triggered changes in more than 200 metabolites. It also caused an immediate surge of proteins involved in blood-vessel growth, tissue remodeling, and hormonal signaling. Some of these proteins appear to enter the bloodstream through an expedited cell signaling process known as ectodomain shedding—rather than being newly made and secreted, portions of proteins already sitting on the cell surface were cleaved off and rapidly released into circulation. The researchers also found that human fat cells exposed to blood collected after sprinting underwent extensive changes in gene activity, shifting how the cells process fuel, respond to hormones, and sense nutrient availability. Not so with moderate exercise which produced a more modest response. It was not until three hours after completing that exercise that a meaningful wave of the fatty acids and liver-derived proteins that typically appear in response to the demands of endurance exercise were found in the bloodstream.    Ultra-processed foods linked to higher prostate cancer risk in men Florida Atlantic University, August 12 2026 (News-Medical)     Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) account for nearly 60% of adults' and 70% of children's energy intake in the United States.  New research from Florida Atlantic University provides evidence that men with higher consumption of UPFs have increased risks of prostate cancer.  Published in The American Journal of Medicine, the study provides analyses from a large and nationally representative data from 17,024 U.S. men ages 18 and older. Researchers used two 24-hour dietary recalls to calculate the percentage of daily calories participants consumed from UPFs.  Men in the three higher-consumption groups of UPFs had a 29% greater risk of prostate cancer, while those in the two highest-consumption groups had a 30% greater risk, compared to those in the lowest consumption group. After adjustments, the increased risk remained significant, ranging from 24% to 31%. Men with the highest UPF intake alone had a possible 34% higher risk, although the finding did not reach statistical significance, potentially reflecting the smaller number of prostate cancer cases in that group.     Cinnamon Supplementation Associated With Lower Blood Sugar and Cholesterol in Review of 21 Meta-Analyses Lanzhou University Second Clinical Medical College (China), August 11 2026 (Natural News) A pooled analysis of 21 meta-analyses, including 139 placebo-controlled comparisons, found cinnamon supplementation associated with lower HbA1c, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and blood pressure, according to a report published in Frontiers in Nutrition. The report stated that the strongest effects occurred at daily amounts above 1.5 grams, or roughly three-quarters of a teaspoon, for periods of two months or less. Compared with placebo, cinnamon supplementation was tied to a measurable reduction in HbA1c, the blood test doctors use to track blood sugar control over the previous several months, the article stated. Total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol also declined, and blood pressure readings improved, according to the analysis. Ceylon cinnamon, sometimes labeled 'true cinnamon,' contains only trace amounts of coumarin, while Cassia cinnamon, the variety commonly found on supermarket shelves, contains higher levels, according to the article. For daily use, experts cited in the report recommend limiting Cassia cinnamon to about one teaspoon or less, with occasional larger amounts considered unlikely to cause harm.   Healthy lifestyle cuts hearing impairment risk by 14%, metabolism is key driver Fudan University (Japan), August 12 2026 (News-Medical)     Hearing impairment ranks as the third largest contributor to global disability among sensory disorders, with prevalence rising across younger and middle-aged populations alongside older adults.  The Fudan University team conducted an analysis of 441,844 UK Biobank participants aged 40 to 69 at baseline, with a median follow-up of 14.22 years. The researchers constructed a comprehensive lifestyle score spanning seven behaviors: smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, sleep duration, sedentary time, social engagement, and dietary supplement use. Over the study period, 20,743 incident cases of hearing impairment were documented.  Participants with an ideal lifestyle had a 14% lower risk of developing hearing impairment than those with a poor lifestyle. Among individual factors, smoking cessation offered the greatest preventive benefit, followed by reduced sedentary time; dietary supplement use showed no protective effect, and social contact frequency was not significantly associated with hearing risk. The study's core insight emerges from its quantitative mediation analysis, which revealed metabolic dysfunction as the dominant biological pathway linking lifestyle to auditory health. Metabolic biomarkers–most notably BMI and HDL-c–mediated approximately 16.5% and 14.0% of the total lifestyle–hearing association respectively. In contrast, each inflammatory marker contributed less than 6% of the effect, playing only a secondary role. 

Does lower cholesterol equal less plaque? The answer may surprise you. On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared explores emerging research on nattokinase, a systemic enzyme derived from fermented soybeans, and its potential role in supporting cardiovascular health. He reviews a 2017 clinical trial comparing nattokinase with a commonly prescribed statin, discusses why imaging studies of arterial plaque may offer a different perspective than cholesterol markers alone, and explains how fibrin may influence plaque structure. Jared also breaks down the importance of dosage, why many studies suggest higher amounts may produce different results than standard servings, and how systemic enzymes fit into a broader heart health strategy. As always, he encourages listeners to understand the research, ask better questions, and work with qualified healthcare professionals when making decisions about their cardiovascular health.Products:NattokinaseFibrenza Systemic EnzymesSun Nutrition Vascular Defense Systemic Enzyme & N.O.

Dr. Daniel Chong has spent years helping patients understand their true cardiovascular risk and take meaningful action to prevent heart attacks and strokes.In this episode, Rip and Dr. Chong dig into the confusing, often polarizing world of cholesterol and heart disease. Is LDL cholesterol really important? How low should it go? Is ApoB a better marker? What about calcium scores, lipoprotein(a), statins, saturated fat, and the growing noise around keto and carnivore diets?Dr. Chong offers a grounded, practical, and highly nuanced perspective. He explains why standard LDL cholesterol is only part of the picture, why ApoB and LDL particle number may provide a clearer view of risk, and why cardiovascular disease is never about one single factor. Instead, it is about the full internal environment: inflammation, endothelial function, blood flow, plaque stability, lifestyle, and diet.Rip and Dr. Chong also explore the limits of coronary artery calcium scores, the risks of relying on a “zero” score too early in life, and why soft plaque can still pose a serious threat even when calcified plaque is not detected.They also discuss saturated fat, heme iron, blood viscosity, hydration, testosterone therapy's potential effect on red blood cell count, and the fascinating protective layer inside our blood vessels known as the glycocalyx.This conversation is a reminder that cardiovascular prevention is about building a body that supports vitality from the inside out.You'll Learn:LDL cholesterol matters, but ApoB and LDL particle number may offer a more precise picture of cardiovascular risk.The longer LDL particles remain elevated, the greater the potential risk over time.Saturated fat can interfere with the body's ability to clear LDL particles from the bloodstream.Coronary artery calcium scores can be useful, but they do not detect soft, non-calcified plaque.A calcium score of zero does not always mean “clean arteries,” especially in younger people.Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), is an important marker to test at least once.Dr. Chong recommends looking at a broader cardiovascular panel, including lipids, ApoB, Lp(a), A1C, and hs-CRP.Heme iron from red meat is absorbed differently than non-heme iron from plants and may contribute to oxidative stress when elevated.Blood viscosity — or how “thick” your blood is — can influence endothelial function and plaque formation.Hydration, plant foods, and, in some cases, blood donation may help support healthier blood viscosity.The glycocalyx is a delicate, hair-like protective layer that supports endothelial function.A whole food, plant-based lifestyle remains one of the most powerful foundations for vascular health.Learn More About our 2026 Live PLANTSTRONG Events: https://plantstrongevents.com/ Let Us Help Your PLANTSTRONG JourneyLearn More About Our Corporate Wellness Program: https://liveplantstrong.com/corporate-wellness/ COMPLEMENT: Use code PLANTSTRONG for 30% off at https://lovecomplement.com/pages/plantstrong-special-offer Follow PLANTSTRONG and Rip Esselstynhttps://plantstrong.com/ https://www.facebook.com/GoPlantstrong https://www.instagram.com/goplantstrong/https://www.instagram.com/ripesselstyn/ Follow the PLANTSTRONG Podcast and Give the Show a 5-star RatingApple PodcastsSpotifyWatch on YouTubeEpisode Webpage

What are your thoughts on Cleveland Clinic's assessment of fish oil supplements?If I want to go on your sleep protocol, should I order all of the supplements or choose one?Do you still recommend individual assessments to determine natural treatments for anxiety and depression?Is taking Bergamot for cholesterol really effective?

If you still think that high cholesterol is bad, that arterial blockages cause heart attacks and that the heart pumps your blood, then have a listen to this interview to have your heart health paradigm challenged from every angle.In this episode, I sit down with none other than Dr. Tom Cowan to challenge literally everything we've been told about cardiovascular health and disease. We dig into what really causes heart attacks (the autopsy data may surprise you), why the heart may not function as a "pump" at all, and what's actually driving heart disease.Tom is a retired alternative doctor, a speaker, educator and author of several books including Human Heart, Cosmic Heart . His fame grew over the last 6 years with a more recent book, The Contagion Myth (co-authored with Sally Fallon Morell), and his many outspoken interviews that run counter to the contagion and viral narratives.Tom walks through rarely-seen angiogram footage showing the heart's true blood supply, so if you can, you are going to want to watch this one on You Tube or Bitchute. He also explains why statins may do far more harm than good, and offers a radically different — and more empowering — way to think about heart health, autoimmunity and disease in general.This is a deep one, and it might change how you think about your next blood test, or whether you care to get one at all.Remember, this is not health advice, this is for entertainment purposes only:)Lastly, if you are looking for TRUE healthcare at a reasonable price, then please find the link below for the New Biology Clinic.

Dr. Joe Dituri, also known as Dr. Deep Sea, spent 100 straight days living underwater and walked away with lower cholesterol, longer telomeres, and twice the stem cells, so I had to get him on to break down what hyperbaric oxygen actually does. In this episode, we cover why a focused 20-day protocol might move your health-span more than any supplement stack, how his deep and REM sleep nearly doubled, and the safety rules almost no home-chamber owner knows. It genuinely shifted how I run my own chambers, and it'll shift how you think about oxygen, pressure, and aging, too.  CLICK HERE TO BECOME GARY'S VIP!: https://bit.ly/4ai0Xwg Get Dr. Deep Sea's book, “Secrets in Depth”: https://bit.ly/4q8tNat Connect with Dr. Deep Sea Website: https://bit.ly/45IaXxs   YouTube: https://bit.ly/45wPsjj   Instagram: https://bit.ly/4fKDnNk  Facebook: https://bit.ly/4q2E7AB   X: https://bit.ly/4wKQmEy   LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4bwsvQz   Thank you to our partners A-GAME: “ULTIMATE15” FOR 15% OFF: http://bit.ly/4kek1ij AION: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4h6KHAD AIRES: "ULTIMATE20 " FOR 20% OFF: https://bit.ly/4a3Duze BAJA GOLD: "ULTIMATE10" FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/3WSBqUa BODYHEALTH: “ULTIMATE20” FOR 20% OFF: http://bit.ly/4e5IjsV COLD LIFE: THE ULTIMATE HUMAN PLUNGE: https://bit.ly/4eULUKpCYMBIOTIKA: "BRECKACYM30" FOR 30% OFF: https://bit.ly/4tjyluP GENETIC METHYLATION TEST (UK ONLY): https://bit.ly/48QJJrk GENETIC TEST (USA ONLY): ⁠https://bit.ly/3Yg1Uk9 GOPUFF: GET YOUR FAVORITE SNACK!: https://bit.ly/4obIFDC H2TAB: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4hMNdgg HEALF: 10% OFF YOUR ORDER: https://bit.ly/41HJg6S PEPTUAL: “TUH10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4mKxgcn SNOOZE: LET'S GET TO SLEEP!: https://bit.ly/4pt1T6V WHOOP: JOIN & GET 1 FREE MONTH!: https://bit.ly/3VQ0nzW Watch  the “Ultimate Human Podcast” every Tuesday & Thursday at 9AM EST: YouTube: https://bit.ly/3RPQYX8 Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3RQftU0 Connect with Gary Brecka Instagram: https://bit.ly/3RPpnFs TikTok: https://bit.ly/4coJ8foX: https://bit.ly/3Opc8tf Facebook: https://bit.ly/464VA1H LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4hH7Ri2 Website: https://bit.ly/4eLDbdU Merch: https://bit.ly/4aBpOM1 Newsletter: https://bit.ly/47ejrws Ask Gary: https://bit.ly/3PEAJuG Timestamps 00:00 - ​Intro of Show 01:52 - The 100-day underwater world record 02:13 - Cholesterol, stem cell, and telomere results 02:50 - From Navy diver to hyperbaric medicine 05:35 - The largest TBI study ever run 06:34 - The 13 mechanisms of action 08:58 - Why pressure and dose matter 11:03 - The $101 million X Prize 13:24 - The hyperoxic-hypoxic chamber 16:16 - Doubling stem cells in five days 24:06 - Why more is never better 26:18 - Deep and REM sleep underwater 32:18 - Intermittent hypoxia and mitochondria 42:54 - Altitude and legal blood doping 47:43 - A 100-year safety record 52:44 - His stroke and the road back 01:06:48 - Oxygen, sugar, and cancer research 01:14:10 - Stacking sauna, ice, and red light 01:16:57 - The sauna-before-bed sleep hack 01:20:30 - What it means to be an ultimate human Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not provide medical advice.

Cholesterol has been one of the most confusing topics in the wellness world for decades. Is cholesterol actually the villain we've been told it is? What do LDL, HDL, and triglycerides really mean? And how much does the food on your plate actually affect your numbers?In this episode, Lisa breaks down the cholesterol conversation in a way that's easier to understand, from what your lipid panel is actually measuring to how nutrition, movement, stress, hormones, and everyday habits can influence your cardiovascular health.We'll also talk about how cholesterol and metabolism can change throughout different stages of life, including perimenopause and beyond, and how you can use the Healthi app to become more intentional about the quality of the foods you're eating.No fear. No food guilt. Just a conversation designed to help you feel more informed and confident about your health. ❤️

Most people are taught to focus on cholesterol when they think about heart disease.But what if cholesterol is only one small part of the story?In this episode of The Inflammation Code Podcast, Dr. Shivani Gupta sits down with Dr. Philip C. Ovadia, a board-certified heart surgeon, founder of Ovadia Heart Health, host of The Stay Off My Operating Table Podcast, and author of Stay Off My Kitchen Table. After performing thousands of heart surgeries and reversing his own metabolic dysfunction, Dr. Ovadia now focuses on helping people prevent the very conditions that lead them to the operating table.Together, they discuss what really drives heart disease risk, including insulin resistance, inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, nutrient absorption, gut health, and the importance of imaging like coronary artery calcium scans.In this conversation, you'll learn:• Why heart disease can begin decades before symptoms appear• Why cholesterol alone is not enough to predict heart disease risk• How insulin resistance and inflammation contribute to cardiovascular disease• Why women's heart risk rises rapidly after menopause• What a coronary artery calcium scan can reveal• Why nutrient density and bioavailability matter for metabolic health• How elimination diets may help identify foods that drive inflammationThis episode is for anyone who wants to understand heart disease prevention before it becomes urgent.RESOURCES MENTIONEDThe Inflammation Codehttps://www.amazon.com/dp/140199699X?tag=usalinktagdefault-20&th=1&psc=1&geniuslink=trueFusionary Formulas SupplementsUse code CODE15 for 15% off your first orderhttps://fusionaryformulas.com/?utm_source=Show+Notes&utm_medium=Show+notes+&utm_campaign=Podcast+promo&utm_id=The+Inflammation+Code+Podcast7-Day Inflammation Detox Challengehttps://www.7dayinflammationdetox.com/CONNECT WITH DR.

A cardiac surgeon who's performed thousands of open-heart operations says most of his patients didn't have to be there — and the culprit isn't cholesterol, it's metabolic health.In this episode of Health Longevity Secrets, Robert Lufkin MD sits down with Dr. Philip Ovadia, board-certified cardiac surgeon and author of the new book "Stay Off My Kitchen Table." Once morbidly obese and prediabetic himself, Ovadia lost nearly 100 pounds and rethought everything he was taught about heart disease. He explains why "meat is medicine," how red meat got vilified by bad science, what really drives heart disease, and how his nationwide telehealth practice is rebuilding primary care around metabolic health.Chapters:00:00 — Introduction01:34 — Why a Heart Surgeon Wrote "Stay Off My Kitchen Table"04:54 — Do You Need to Eat Meat?

We can't wait to experience miracles with you!   Welcome to a new episode of the Future Generations Podcast! Today, Dr. Stanton Hom sits down with Katie Collins, a certified physician assistant, wife, and mother of (almost) three, who has become a powerful voice for parents seeking true informed consent. Katie shares how COVID, urgent care medicine, and a biased vaccine curriculum pushed her to question the system and rethink everything from birth control to childhood vaccines. In this episode, you'll hear her journey from conventionally trained PA to medical freedom advocate, her faith-driven approach to health, and how she helps parents navigate risks, benefits, alternatives, and intuition in one of the most polarized conversations of our time.   Highlights: "To say every vaccine reaction is a coincidence is not just wrong medicine, it's bad medicine."   "Most chronic disease isn't being fixed; it's just being managed with more and more meds."   "Parents don't just need experts. They need true informed consent and permission to trust their intuition."   "The pharmaceutical industry doesn't have your child's best interest at heart. You do."

Artificial Sweeteners & Cognitive Decline, Myosteatosis on Coronary CT, Merck's Oral PCSK9 Inhibitor, Cyclospora Outbreak, Gut-Brain Synchronization, and the Banana Smoothie Mistake Explained Artificial Sweeteners Linked To 62% Faster Cognitive Decline In Landmark Brazilian Study A study tracking more than 12,700 adults (average age 52) over eight years found that people consuming the most artificial and low-calorie sweeteners, roughly 191 mg a day, about what's in a single can of diet soda, showed cognitive decline 62% faster than the lowest-intake group, equivalent to 1.6 extra years of brain aging, with memory hit hardest. Six of the seven sweeteners tested, including aspartame, saccharin, and acesulfame K, were linked to faster decline; tagatose was the lone exception. Researchers point to gut-microbiome disruption, altered glucose and insulin signaling, and possible direct neuronal effects as plausible mechanisms. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why a dose this small was enough to move the curve, why tagatose deserves more scrutiny before being called "safe," and where diet products' short-term weight-loss marketing conveniently ignores the long-term cost to your brain. Source: https://www.inc.com/kevin-haynes/study-links-cognitive-decline-to-surprisingly-small-daily-amount-of-artificial-sweeteners/91376522 ~~ AI Analysis Of 1,722 Heart Scans Finds Muscle Quality Predicts Heart Attacks Independent Of Calcium Score Using data from the SCOT-HEART trial, a University of Edinburgh team ran an AI model against ten years of coronary CT angiogram scans, measuring skeletal muscle attenuation, a marker of myosteatosis, or fat infiltration into muscle tissue. Every 10-point increase in muscle density corresponded to a 31% lower heart attack risk and 39% lower all-cause mortality over the following decade, and critically, this held independent of coronary calcium score, the current gold-standard risk marker. The same low-density-muscle patients also showed higher lung attenuation, lower liver attenuation, and more torso fat volume, a pattern consistent with systemic insulin resistance rather than a muscle-specific issue. Host Dave Asprey unpacks why calcium score isn't capturing the full risk picture, why myosteatosis is really a readout of whole-body insulin sensitivity, and what he'd add to a routine workup on top of a calcium score. Source: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/jun/30/strong-chest-back-less-likely-heart-attack-analysis ~~ FDA Approves First Oral PCSK9 Inhibitor, Cutting LDL By Up To 60% Without Injections Merck's enlicitide (brand name Lipfendra) is now FDA-approved as the first once-daily oral PCSK9 inhibitor, lowering LDL cholesterol by up to 60% in a phase 3 trial of 2,912 patients, routinely bringing levels down to 50-60 mg/dL. It works by blocking PCSK9, a liver protein that tags LDL receptors for destruction, the same target as injectable drugs like Repatha and Praluent, which have shown roughly 20% reductions in heart attacks and strokes in high-risk patients. Lipfendra is priced at $315 for a 30-day supply, with no excess side effects reported versus placebo over six months, though long-term outcome data is still pending. Host Dave Asprey explains why crushing total LDL without checking ApoB, LDL particle number, or oxidized LDL is optimizing the wrong variable, and what he'd want on his labs before considering a drug like this.

Taylor Farms has recalled all iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico, and Walmart has pulled Marketside Iceberg Salad and Marketside Shredded Lettuce with specific date codes across 27 states. Cyclospora spreads through fecal contamination and causes weeks of watery, explosive diarrhea if untreated; washing doesn't reliably eliminate it, since the parasite requires heat above 158°F to inactivate. Host Dave Asprey explains why pre-washed, pre-cut bagged greens remain a recurring contamination risk no matter what the label claims, and connects the outbreak's gut damage to lingering gut-brain consequences long after symptoms resolve.

The gut communicates with the brain through the vagus nerve, hormones, and immune signaling, and dysbiosis or ENS dysfunction has separately been linked to mood disorders in both human and animal studies. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why the goal isn't maximum gut-brain connection but the right kind of connection, questions whether the coupling is driving the anxiety or the anxiety is driving the coupling, and makes the case for treating mood from the gut up instead of the brain down. Source: https://refractor.io/medical/enteric-nervous-system-brain-link-mental-health/ ~~ Rhonda Patrick Explains Why She Never Adds Bananas To Her Berry Smoothies Rhonda Patrick has been telling audiences she skips bananas in her berry smoothies because of polyphenol oxidase, an enzyme in bananas that degrades the polyphenols in blueberries linked to improved cognition and vascular health, based on in-vitro and food chemistry data. She now builds her smoothies on an avocado base instead, and notes that vitamin C from citrus can partially inhibit the enzyme for anyone unwilling to drop the banana. Host Dave Asprey weighs in on the gap between lab chemistry and clinical outcome data, why that gap doesn't make the mechanism any less real, and why this is a low-cost swap worth making even without a human trial behind it. Sources: https://www.reddit.com/r/Biohackers/comments/1v2jbib/dr_rhonda_patrick_i_dont_add_bananas_to_my/ https://www.foundmyfitness.com/episodes/polyphenol-oxidase-bananas-smoothies ~~ This episode is designed for biohackers, longevity enthusiasts, and high-performance listeners who want mechanism-level insight into a sweetener risk hiding in everyday diet products, a heart attack predictor buried inside routine CT scans, the tradeoffs of a new cholesterol drug, a produce recall worth paying attention to, the science behind gut-driven anxiety, and a smoothie mistake that's quietly undercutting your polyphenol intake. Host Dave Asprey connects clinical research, cohort data, and food chemistry into practical frameworks for protecting brain health, cardiovascular health, and gut-brain resilience.

This week, Dr. Kahn discusses the FDA approval of the first oral PCSK9 inhibitor, Lipfendra (enclicitide), taken as a 20 mg daily tablet. In a study of nearly 3,000 patients with elevated LDL cholesterol despite treatment with statins and, in many cases, ezetimibe, LDL-C dropped by more than 50% while Lipoprotein(a) levels fell by 28%, with an excellent safety profile. The medication is expected to retail for approximately $315 per month and will be available in pharmacies soon. A larger outcomes trial evaluating its impact on heart attack and stroke rates is currently underway. Other topics include oatmeal for diabetes, avocados for cholesterol, ketogenic diets and cancer, serotonin and heart valve disease, air pollution and cardiovascular events, and the relationship between sweetened beverages, fruit juice, and high blood pressure. Dr. Kahn also mentions the air filtration system he uses at home and in his office, available at: airdoctorpro.com Finally, thanks to this week's sponsor, the Fresh Pressed Olive Oil Club.
