In this episode, Dr. David Jockers explores the seven root causes of inflammation, which are major contributors to chronic conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and autoimmunity. Understanding these underlying factors is essential to addressing inflammation at its source. Dr. Jockers highlights how issues like leaky gut and low stomach acid can trigger systemic inflammation, leading to far-reaching consequences for health.   You'll also learn about the importance of balancing blood sugar to prevent inflammation. Elevated blood sugar levels create advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which damage tissues and lead to oxidative stress. Dr. Jockers explains how blood sugar imbalances set the stage for inflammation and how you can stabilize it to promote healing.   Additionally, the episode dives into the impacts of physical and emotional trauma, toxic load, and circadian rhythm dysfunction on the body's inflammation levels. Dr. Jockers offers practical insights on how to reduce these stressors and better support your body's healing processes, enabling you to restore balance and prevent further health complications.

Three ordinary habits—puzzling, pouring, and brushing—carry extraordinary power over long-term health. We unpack new and notable research on cognitive health, colorectal cancer risk, and cardiovascular disease, then turn it into simple actions you can actually keep.First, we explore why puzzles and other structured brain challenges may strengthen executive function, attention, and visuospatial skills. Large-scale studies of board games and crosswords point to lower dementia risk, and the mindfulness angle is compelling: focused, tactile tasks can quiet stress cycles and improve mood. We're honest about the evidence gaps too—puzzles haven't been trialed as formal stress therapies—but the low-friction habit still earns a spot in your daily routine, especially if you crave small wins or navigate ADHD.Next, we challenge the comfort of “moderate” drinking by looking at lifetime alcohol intake and colorectal cancer. The dose-response signal is clear: more drinks over more years raise risk, with rectal cancer showing the steepest climb. There's practical hope as well—former drinkers see fewer precancerous adenomas—so dialing back weekly totals, adding alcohol-free days, and keeping up with screening can move the needle. The takeaway isn't alarm; it's agency.We close with two underappreciated drivers of heart disease: ultra-processed foods and gum health. Evidence now ties higher UPF intake to more cardiovascular events, while updated scientific statements map how periodontal bacteria and chronic inflammation stress blood vessels, elevate clotting risk, and push up heart attack and stroke rates. The fix is refreshingly doable: shift groceries toward minimally processed staples, build batch-cook routines, brush and clean between teeth daily, and keep regular dental visits. We also name the inequities—insurance gaps, limited access, time off work—and why better oral care access belongs in any heart health strategy.If this helped you rethink one small daily choice, tap follow, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review so others can find the show.

If inflammation is quietly accelerating damage in your body, how would you know? And what can you do about it?Across conditions as different as ALS, cancer, dementia, autoimmune disease, and heart failure, researchers keep finding the same thread: chronic inflammatory burden shapes how illness progresses.Fortunately, inflammatory load can often be influenced, and in this episode of Renegade Remission, I will show you how as we explore the hidden but central role inflammation plays in chronic and terminal illness.You'll hear a rare, peer-reviewed ALS-spectrum case in which reducing inflammatory and toxic burden coincided with unexpected neurological stabilization and measurable improvement. Finally, we'll break down what inflammation actually is, why it appears across seemingly unrelated diseases, and how metabolic stress, toxic exposure, gut dysfunction, nutrient depletion, sleep disruption, and nervous system overload all compound inflammatory strain.In this episode, you'll understand:Why inflammation shows up in nearly every major chronic and terminal illnessHow inflammatory load influences progression, resilience, and repair capacityThe difference between inflammation as a symptom and inflammation as terrainWhy reducing biological burden can sometimes change what appears fixedA calm framework for identifying where inflammation may be highest in your own bodyListen now to understand how inflammation may be shaping your own condition — and what gentle, realistic steps can begin lowering that load.DisclaimerThis podcast is for educational purposes only and does not provide medical advice. Always consult your licensed healthcare provider before making changes to your treatment or health regimen.This podcast explores science and stories related to ALS, cancer, dementia, Alzheimer's, MS, heart disease, autoimmune conditions, chronic illness, integrative medicine, lifestyle medicine, and remission — offering grounded hope for those seeking resilience and renewal.

Heart disease is the #1 killer of women, yet most midlife women don't realize their risk skyrockets during the menopause transition. In this powerful episode, we're joined by Mohanakrishnan Sathyamoorthy, MD (“Dr. Mo”), invasive cardiologist and founding Chair of Internal Medicine at the Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at TCU, to unpack how heart disease truly shows up in women—and why it's so often missed.We dive into what menopause means for your heart, how to think about hormone therapy safely, and what every woman in midlife should be asking her doctor now. If you want to protect your health, your longevity, and your future self—this is an episode you don't want to miss.

What is the real killer when it comes to heart disease? Can the right cardiac testing truly mean the difference between life and death? In today's episode, we are joined by Dr. John Osborne, a Harvard-trained, triple board-certified cardiologist and Co-Founder of ClearCardio, to break it all down… Dr. Osborne earned his B.S. with honors from Penn State University, his M.D. magna cum laude from Jefferson Medical College, and a Ph.D. in cardiovascular physiology from Thomas Jefferson University. His postdoctoral training at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital helped shape his expertise in non-invasive cardiology. Board-certified across multiple disciplines, his work focuses on preventive cardiology, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular genetics. Recognized as the American Heart Association's Cardiac Care Provider of the Year and named a Top Doctor multiple times, Dr. Osborne has authored original research papers, book chapters, and delivered hundreds of international presentations. Through ClearCardio, he is advancing proactive cardiac care by integrating AI-powered imaging to detect plaque earlier, quantify risk more precisely, and empower patients before symptoms appear. In this episode, we dive into: What actually causes heart attacks and sudden cardiac death. The role of soft plaque vs calcified plaque in coronary artery disease. Why many heart attacks happen after a "normal" stress test. The limits of stents and why they do not necessarily extend longevity.

What if one targeted supplement could do more for your healing than twenty random ones?When you're navigating chronic or serious illness, it's easy to accumulate bottles, protocols, and conflicting advice. But more supplements do not necessarily equal more healing. If you're facing cancer, autoimmune disease, neurological illness, heart disease, or another chronic diagnosis, this episode will help you move from confusion to clarity.Together we explore the science behind building a supplement plan that works with your body. We discuss why testing matters, how mitochondrial dysfunction shows up across chronic illness, why gut health determines absorption, and how to layer support without exhausting your system.In this episode, you'll learn:Why correcting deficiencies should always come before adding “extra” supplementsHow to identify which healing systems need support first, such as mitochondria, inflammation regulation, or gut stabilityWhy starting slowly improves tolerance, absorption, and long-term successHow to build a clear supplement hierarchy so each product has a purposeA simple framework for creating a routine that feels sustainable instead of stressfulListen now to learn how to simplify your supplement routine and support your healing with intention.DisclaimerThis podcast is for educational purposes only and does not provide medical advice. Always consult your licensed healthcare provider before starting or adjusting supplements, especially if you are taking medications or undergoing active treatment.This podcast explores science and stories related to cancer, dementia, Alzheimer's, MS, ALS, heart disease, autoimmune conditions, chronic illness, integrative medicine, and remission — offering grounded hope and practical tools to support resilience and healing.

For most of the past century, more women than men have died from cardiovascular disease. Yet, heart disease is still widely perceived as a male problem.  That's why in this episode, we dive into why cardiovascular and metabolic health are essential for women, especially in midlife, and why education is your greatest tool.  You'll gain the confidence to advocate for yourself and make informed decisions about your long-term health. I'll also be sharing my favorite simple habits to kickstart your metabolism, protect your heart, and boost your everyday energy.  Remember, it never has to be perfect—consistency builds momentum, and that's where real change begins.  Tune in here to gain key insight and prioritize yourself and your longevity! IN THIS EPISODE Recognizing the warning signs of cardiovascular disease  Labs and markers you should be asking your physician for  Why lifestyle medicine matters SO much in midlife  How to build metabolically healthy plates for each meal Setting simple movement goals for optimal heart health The massive benefits of sleep, mindfulness, and breath work Supplements to support your cardiovascular and metabolic health The pros of appropriately timed hormone replacement therapy  QUOTES “Heart disease kills more women than all cancers combined. Not breast cancer, not ovarian cancer. All cancers combined. And what's even more alarming for most women, the warning signs begin years- sometimes decades- before a heart attack or stroke ever happens.”  “Research shows that insulin resistance is a primary driver of cardio metabolic disease in women, especially after menopause.” “You do not need perfection. You need 7,000 steps per day, walking after meals, fewer long sitting stretches. Get up and move your butt, even if it means walking around your house or going around the block. Start building your life around movement. This is one of the most powerful yet underestimated tools for heart health and for your resilience.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Order your Berkeley Life Nitric Oxide Support Supplement https://berkeleylife.pxf.io/Vxvdja RELATED EPISODES  716: Midlife, Hormones & Heart Health: The Critical Connection You're Not Hearing About with Cathy Eason 711: Estrogen, Inflammation, and Your Heart Health: What Every Woman Needs to Know with Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj 690: The Perimenopause Revolution: Why midlife isn't the end — it's the beginning of your most energized, powerful, and vibrant self 686: Your Second Puberty Explained: What's Really Happening to Your Body in Perimenopause

Xylitol, FTC Censorship, and the Oral–Heart Health Connection: Nathan Jones, CEO and founder of Xlear, Inc., makers of xylitol-based nasal and dental hygiene products, and a health freedom advocate, discusses Jones' ongoing legal battle with the FTC. He addresses the difficulty of making health claims for hygiene products (including toothpaste and nasal sprays), the role of “weasel words” in supplement marketing, and concerns about regulatory double standards versus pharmaceuticals. He also reviews xylitol's benefits for dental caries and respiratory/ear infections, including references to studies and public-health examples (e.g., Finland and a Belize program reducing dental caries costs), and Jones' efforts to encourage Utah to implement xylitol gum programs in schools. He contrasts fluoride's enamel-strengthening approach with xylitol's effect on the underlying bacterial cause of tooth decay, discusses Utah's fluoride policy change and claims about fluoride's limited benefit, and highlights a correlation between poor oral health and cardiovascular risk via inflammation and bacterial translocation into the bloodstream, including pathogens found in atherosclerotic plaque, and links also discussed for dementia and Parkinson's.  They close with commentary on health advocacy in the “MAHA era,” the challenges of entrenched federal bureaucracy, and Jones' preference for advocacy groups that teach industry to push back rather than comply.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Nathan Jones, CEO and founder of Xlear, Inc.

In today's episode, we're talking about cardiovascular health. Heart disease remains the #1 threat to the quality and quantity of life for Americans. And this is not because of a metformin or statin deficiency. We are pumping these drugs out at all time highs, but have yet to make a dent in heart disease. If you are in the traditional medicinal model, you may not be privy to the fact that there are other ways of supporting and invigorating the cardiovascular system and the underlying drivers of heart disease. You can actually improve cholesterol balance, blood sugar, arterial inflammation, and vascular health with natural means. Let's talk about where to start. Two fruit extracts that can help are bergamot and amla. You know I am a big fan of fruit and these two in particular positively influence: LDL cholesterol Triglycerides HDL Insulin sensitivity Arterial stiffness Vascular Oxidative stress You can find these two science-backed fruit extracts in Cardio Supreme.   -------- Connect with Dr. Matt online:  

When you're facing a chronic or life-altering diagnosis, it's almost inevitable: someone suggests supplements.But do they actually make a difference?In this episode of Renegade Remission, we examine what supplements truly do inside the body, based on biological mechanisms and clinical research.If you are navigating cancer, autoimmune disease, neurological illness, heart disease, or another chronic condition, this episode will help you move from random supplementation to intentional support.You'll learn how specific, well-studied nutrients influence the core systems that illness disrupts: mitochondrial energy production, immune regulation, inflammation control, antioxidant capacity, cellular repair, and detoxification.In this episode, you'll discover:Why certain supplements influence core healing systems like inflammation, mitochondrial energy, immune balance, and detoxificationHow targeted nutrient support can shift the trajectory of fatigue, neurological symptoms, and immune dysregulationThe difference between strategic supplementation and random “stacking”The top ten most well-researched supplements for supporting healingA simple framework for building a supplement plan that is effective, safe, and sustainableMost importantly, you'll learn how to think about supplements correctly.Listen now to learn how to build a simple, thoughtful supplement strategy that supports your healing without overwhelm.DisclaimerThis podcast is for educational purposes only and does not provide medical advice.

Dr. Malcolm Kendrick challenges the prevailing lipid hypothesis regarding heart disease, arguing that the relationship between cholesterol, particularly LDL, and heart disease is not as straightforward as commonly believed. He discusses the role of saturated fats, the importance of nitric oxide, and the impact of lifestyle factors on cardiovascular health. Kendrick also critiques the research surrounding statins, emphasising the need for transparency and the potential biases in studies that downplay adverse effects.

Your body is detoxifying every second of every day. The real question is: are you helping that process… or overloading it?If you're navigating chronic or serious illness, your body is carrying a heavy load — medications, inflammation, environmental exposures, metabolic waste - so it's essential you understand how to support detox properly.In this episode of Renegade Remission, we explore how detoxification truly works in the body — from liver biotransformation and bile flow to gut elimination, kidney filtration, lymphatic circulation, and even the role of movement and sweat.You'll hear a medically documented case of fatty liver disease reversing through lifestyle changes that reduced liver burden and restored detox capacity.This conversation bridges the gap between conventional dismissal of “detox” and the hype-driven extremes of the wellness world. Detox is real. It's biochemical. And when supported correctly, it can meaningfully reduce inflammatory load and metabolic stress.In this episode, you'll discover:How your liver's two-phase detox system actually worksWhy gut health determines whether detox is completed or recycledThe overlooked role of hydration and kidney filtrationHow movement supports lymphatic drainage and detoxificationWhat sweating can (and can't) contributeWhy reducing toxic burden is more powerful than extreme cleansesSimple, research-supported ways to improve detox capacityIf you are living with cancer, autoimmune disease, neurological illness, heart disease, or another chronic condition, supporting detox isn't optional, it's foundational.Listen now to learn how to reduce your body's burden and support its natural detox pathways in ways that are sustainable, science-backed, and gentle.Disclaimer This podcast is for educational purposes only and does not provide medical advice. Always consult your licensed healthcare provider before making changes to your diet, supplements, sauna use, or treatment plan. Detox protocols are not appropriate for everyone, especially those who are medically fragile or undergoing active treatment.This podcast explores science and stories related to cancer, dementia, Alzheimer's, MS, ALS, heart disease, autoimmune conditions, chronic illness, integrative medicine, lifestyle medicine, remission, and resilience — offering grounded hope for those seeking practical ways to support healing.

Heart disease is rising in young adults — and it's not just something that happens later in life.In this episode of Baptist Health Talk, host Johanna Gomez sits down with Dr. Sergiu Darabant, cardiologist with Baptist Health Heart & Vascular Care, to explain why more adults ages 20–40 are experiencing heart-related events and what's driving the trend.You'll learn the early warning signs young adults often overlook, including: • Chest tightness with activity • Shortness of breath out of proportion to exercise • Palpitations and racing heartbeatsDr. Darabant also breaks down the biggest risk factors impacting young adults today — including stress, poor sleep, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and ultra-processed foods — and explains why prevention starts earlier than most people think.One of the biggest takeaways: know your numbers and schedule a yearly checkup so you can catch issues early and protect your heart long before symptoms become serious.Host:Johanna GomezAward-Winning Host & JournalistGuest:Sergiu Darabant, M.D.CardiologistBaptist Health Heart & Vascular Care

Have you seen the new 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and wondered if you should follow them? You may have seen talk about them on the news and social media, and don't know quite what to believe. The slogan of eating more ‘real foods' sounds good though, and the New Pyramid diagram seems to show that all foods - including butter, steak, whole milk and cheese – would be fine to eat and that we don't really need to worry about the amounts eaten. But DO we need to worry? And what about the recommendations about protein and nutritional adequacy issues in vegan and vegetarian diets?   Let's talk about this. In this episode, we'll take a deeper dive into the New Dietary Guidelines for Americans and look at 3 more KEY things you need to know about them, to inform your own health. We'll touch on protein, what the Guidelines say about vegan and vegetarian diets, and what has been found through research.

"Since the 80s, we've been brainwashed to believe that eggs are bad for us, butter is bad for us, dairy is bad for us, red meat is bad for us. And it's just not true." If you've been told your cholesterol is "too high"... if you're on a statin drug and wondering if it's actually helping... if you care about preventing heart disease instead of just managing it... this episode is your wake-up call. It's Heart Health Month, and Dr. Terri is cutting through decades of misinformation to reveal what's REALLY driving cardiovascular disease — and it's not cholesterol. From the gut-heart connection to the six hormones that could save your life, this is the heart health conversation your doctor probably isn't having with you. Here's the truth: "The highest gross revenue producing drug in the history of drugs — billions of dollars — and since they've come out in the 80s, cardiovascular disease rates and death from cardiovascular disease have actually gotten worse, not better." WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: → Why heart disease is a disease of INFLAMMATION, not cholesterol → The shocking truth about statin drugs — and why heart disease has gotten WORSE since the 80s → How cholesterol-lowering drugs are literally shrinking your brain (the brain is 70% cholesterol) → The connection between statins, insulin resistance, and Alzheimer's (now called Type 3 Diabetes) → Why "all disease begins in the gut" — Hippocrates said it 2,000 years ago and it's still true → How estradiol reduced cardiovascular disease progression by 50% in women who already had plaque → Why testosterone is powerfully protective for men's hearts (not just for energy and muscle) → The one organ that can't make its own T3 thyroid hormone — your heart → Why your "normal" lab ranges are based on a sick population (and what optimal ACTUALLY looks like) → The phone scrolling habit that's destroying your melatonin AND your heart health → The inverse relationship between cortisol and DHEA that's wrecking your cardiovascular system → The vitamin D level that triggers a 5x cancer risk and 160% increased cardiovascular disease risk → The 6 hormones you need optimized for true heart disease prevention This isn't about managing heart disease with more prescriptions. It's about understanding the root cause — inflammation — and optimizing the hormones your body needs to protect itself. YOUR ACTION STEPS: Get a deep-dive lipid panel (particle size, ApoA, ApoB), check your hormone levels, ask about a coronary artery calcium score, and focus on OPTIMAL — not just "normal."

My paper, Seed Oils as a Hypothesized Contributor to Heart Disease: A Narrative Synthesis, explains that heart disease was rare before the 20th century and surged only after industrial seed oils became a dominant part of the food supply, pointing to a long-term dietary driver rather than sudden biological failure Linoleic acid (LA) from seed oils accumulates in your tissues and oxidizes easily, creating inflammatory damage inside arteries that builds silently for decades before symptoms appear The rise in seed oil consumption preceded the explosion in heart disease by 10 to 20 years, matching the slow timeline of plaque formation inside blood vessels Even if you avoid seed oils at home, LA remains embedded in packaged foods and restaurant meals, creating constant exposure that keeps arterial damage ongoing Tracking and reducing LA intake transforms heart disease from an inevitable outcome of aging into a long-term process you can influence

Can something as simple as changing when you eat actually influence inflammation, immune function, and cellular repair?Fasting is often portrayed as either a miracle cure or a dangerous trend. But what does it really do inside the body, especially if you're facing a chronic or serious illness?In this episode of Renegade Remission, we explore the real science behind fasting and metabolic therapy.You'll learn what happens biologically when the body shifts its fuel source, how fasting influences autophagy and inflammation, and why some long-term survivors include gentle metabolic strategies as part of their healing approach.We'll also examine a documented glioblastoma case in which metabolic therapy was used alongside conventional treatment, not as a replacement, but as a supportive layer. This conversation cuts through hype and fear to give you clarity.In this episode, you'll discover:What autophagy is and why it matters for cellular repairHow time-restricted eating can stabilize blood sugar and reduce inflammatory stressWhy ketones act as signaling molecules, not just fuelThe connection between glucose spikes and immune dysfunctionHow short-term fasting influences IGF-1 and cellular stress resistanceWhy most benefits come from gentle shifts, not extreme deprivationMost importantly, you'll learn how to support your metabolic health in ways that feel sustainable and safe, without rigid rules, starvation, or added stress on your body.Listen now to understand whether fasting or metabolic strategies might be supportive on your healing journey and how to implement simple, safe shifts starting today.If you are navigating cancer, autoimmune disease, neurological illness, heart disease, or another serious diagnosis, this episode will help you approach metabolic therapy with clarity instead of confusion.DisclaimerThis podcast is for educational purposes only and does not provide medical advice. Always consult your licensed healthcare provider before making changes to your diet, fasting practices, or treatment plan. Fasting is not appropriate for everyone, especially those who are underweight, medically fragile, pregnant, or undergoing active treatment without supervision.This podcast explores science and stories related to cancer, MS, ALS, dementia, Alzheimer's, heart disease, autoimmune conditions, chronic illness, terminal diagnoses, metabolic therapy, integrative medicine, lifestyle medicine, and remission, offering grounded hope and practical tools for resilience and renewal.

The term "heart disease" either sounds really scary or so far fetched that we don't worry about it, but it's actually the number one killer in the world - and it's not just for old people anymore. But once you understand the risks of heart disease, you can actually work to prevent it (quite easily). And prevention starts now - not 30 years from now when it's too late.  This is Cardiologist, Dr. Christopher Davis is joining us today to talk about the real causes of heart disease your doctor will never mention.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: The true causes of heart disease (toxins + inflammation) The role of environmental toxins, inflammation and oxidatibe stress How to look for early signs of heart disease using markers your doctor doesn't look for (but you can ask for) Advanced lipid markers for early detection Why statins have a limited benefit in primary prevention How infrared saunas and detox optimization is foundational in preventing heart disease Merthylation, supplementaiton, detoxing and gut elimination All you need to know to prevent heart disease   More from Dr. Christopher Davis: Instagram: @cjdavismd Dr.  Davis' Clinic: revealvitality.com Humann Supplements: humann.com     Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Heart disease is still the #1 killer of men and women worldwide.And yet, despite decades of medications, procedures, and guidelines, we haven't moved the needle.So the real question is… why?In this short but powerful solo episode, I revisit a message that matters deeply to me, because it saves lives:

I am excited to welcome Dr. Jayne Morgan as my guest today. She is a cardiologist and the Vice President of Medical Affairs at Hello Heart, specializing in women's health and cardiovascular research. In our conversation, we look at the gaps in clinicians' training around perimenopause and menopause, also discussing gender neutral training, and how men and women are treated differently in the medical system. Dr. Morgan shares her preferred areas of focus when educating middle-aged women about hormone replacement therapy and clusters of diagnoses, which include diabetes, dyslipidemia, high blood pressure, and weight-loss resistance. We examine how myocardial infarctions (heart attacks) tend to manifest differently in women, often with microvascular disease, atypical chest pain, and less obvious symptom patterns. We also explore screening recommendations, such as EKGs, Lp(a) assessments, and mammography for microcalcifications, which might indicate an elevated risk for cardiovascular disease. This fun and lively conversation with Dr. Morgan offers valuable, practical insights into women's heart health. I look forward to recording future podcast episodes with her. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: One-size-fits-all treatment of women during medical training in the '90s and early 2000s Speaking up in the exam room when something doesn't feel right When hormone therapy was labeled dangerous, and the fallout that followed Medicine's uncomfortable truth: clinicians must keep learning or fall behind Gender-neutral cardiology and the women it left behind The midlife risk-factor pileup no one prepared women for  Why not taking blood pressure or cholesterol medications is risky rather than healthy Heart attacks often mistaken for anxiety, especially in women Slow change, real progress in women's cardiology care Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community: The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow  Cynthia's Menopause Gut Book is on presale now!

WAIT—cholesterol is GOOD for you?! Join me and Dr. Jack Wolfson, a board-certified cardiologist who ditched conventional medicine, as debunk everything about heart disease. From butter vs. statins to the shocking lies behind “heart-healthy” labels, seed oils, and energy drinks—this is the real science they don't want you to know. Your heart isn't broken—it's been misled.

Despite decades of statin use costing approximately $25 billion annually in America alone, heart disease remains the leading cause of death, suggesting the cholesterol hypothesis that drives statin prescriptions is fundamentally flawed Studies show that lowering cholesterol with statins does not reduce heart disease, and yet these findings are ignored while statin guidelines are created by experts paid by pharmaceutical manufacturers Malcolm Kendrick's clotting model provides a superior explanation for heart disease: atherosclerotic plaques result from repeated damage to blood vessel linings which the body repairs with layers of clots The medical establishment dismisses widespread reports of statin injuries as "nocebo effects," paralleling how COVID-19 vaccine injuries were dismissed as "anxiety," despite extensive evidence corroborating the injuries The actual causes of heart disease — fine particulate matter from pollution and cigarettes, lead exposure, chronic stress, and endothelial damage — receive minimal research funding because effective interventions cannot be patented and sold as expensive pharmaceuticals like statins

In this episode, Dr. Jockers shares the top seven foods to help clear arterial plaque, lower blood pressure, and reduce heart disease risk.

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers explains the latest research on saturated fat and its role in heart disease. He breaks down why many studies don't link saturated fat to higher heart disease risk and what factors actually matter when assessing fat consumption.   You'll discover why oxidative stability, not the smoke point, is the real key when choosing fats for cooking. Dr. Jockers shares which fats are most stable and why they're better for your health in the long term.   We also dive into the role saturated fat plays for those with specific genetic markers, like APOE4 carriers.

A smarter way to think about disease prevention. Dr. Tara Narula is a board-certified cardiologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan and Chief Medical Correspondent for ABC News. Her new book is The Healing Power of Resilience: A New Prescription for Health and Well-Being. In this episode we talk about: What resilience really is, why most of us already have it, and how it can be strengthened The overlooked link between mental health, physical health, and recovery from illness Why mindset and acceptance matter as much as medical treatment when facing health challenges How resilience applies to major life changes, trauma, and chronic disease. Practical psychological tools for working with anxiety, fear, and repetitive thought patterns Why flexible thinking matters How to adapt when life doesn't go according to plan How beliefs, mindset, and the mind–body connection shape stress, healing, and resilience Why movement, sleep, and facing fear are essential ingredients in building real resilience How reframing identity can help people move forward after illness, trauma, or loss Why connection, love, and small acts of kindness are powerful  and underused medicine How hope, faith, and purpose shape resilience, healing, and long-term health Related Episodes: Dan's top 10 takeaways from the science of behavior change: How To Actually Keep Your New Year's Resolutions | Dan Solo Episode   Get the 10% with Dan Harris app here Sign up for Dan's free newsletter here Follow Dan on social: Instagram, TikTok Subscribe to our YouTube Channel   To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/10HappierwithDanHarris Thanks to our sponsor:  Cozy Earth:   Head to cozyearth.com and use code Harris for up to 20% off.

For decades, we've been told that high cholesterol is the main driver of heart disease—and that lowering LDL should be the primary goal. But as science has evolved, so has my thinking. In today's Office Hours, I explain why cholesterol alone doesn't tell the full story, what most doctors still aren't testing, and what's really driving heart disease for the majority of people. Today we discuss: • Why many people have heart attacks despite “normal” LDL cholesterol • The difference between cholesterol levels and cholesterol particles • How inflammation and insulin resistance fuel heart disease • Why sugar and refined starches are more dangerous than fat • The most important labs to assess real cardiovascular risk • What ApoB, lipoprotein(a), and triglyceride-to-HDL ratio reveal about your health • How metabolic dysfunction—not cholesterol alone—drives plaque buildup Heart disease is far more complex than a single lab value. When you understand the role of metabolic health, inflammation, and the right biomarkers, you can take meaningful steps to protect your heart and long-term health.
