Receiving a specific type of shingles vaccine may provide a 23% lower risk of cardiovascular events like stroke or heart failure for up to 8 years. With reports of other shingles vaccines protecting against the risk of dementia, scientists are trying to understand the mechanism underlying these unintended benefits.The WHO aim to eliminate the neglected tropical disease schistosomiasis from endemic countries by 2030, we investigate what might be standing in the way of this goal. After 18 years and over 200 snake bites, key protective compounds have been identified in Tim Friede's blood with the potential to make a snake antivenom with “unparalleled” protection. Also on the show, a trial led by Professors Adalsteinn Gunnlaugsson and Per Nilsson has shown that a prostate cancer treatment regimen that takes two-and-a-half weeks is as safe and effective as longer 8-week courses, ten years on from treatment.

Send us a textHelp me improve the podcast by answering a few questions here.In this episode of Live Long and Well, I'm joined by Dr. Anthony Pearson, a board-certified cardiologist known for his evidence-based yet refreshingly skeptical take on mainstream cardiac care. Together, we explore the nuanced science behind heart health and how you can make smarter decisions to protect your cardiovascular system—starting today.We open by recognizing that heart disease remains the leading cause of death for both men and women. While many of the six pillars of longevity—from exercise to stress reduction—play protective roles, today's episode zooms in on two powerful, sometimes polarizing topics: the role of diet in heart health and the value of coronary artery calcium (CAC) scans.Dr. Pearson shares how a personal brunch conversation with his wife challenged decades of low-fat dietary dogma, prompting his transformation into the "Skeptical Cardiologist." Here is a summary showing that dairy won't increase risk of cardiovascular disease. He recounts the We dive into the broader saturated fat debate, highlighting how different fat sources have varied effects on cholesterol and cardiovascular risk. While dairy fats may be benign or even beneficial, others—particularly those consumed in excess on paleo or keto diets—can raise LDL cholesterol substantially. Dr. Pearson discusses the Keto-CAD Study, which found that even lean, low-risk keto followers may build up arterial plaque if their LDL levels skyrocket.The conversation then shifts to the calcium heart or CAC scan, a non-invasive $100 screening test that quantifies calcified coronary artery plaque via CT imaging. While traditional risk calculators like the pooled cohort equations often fall short, CAC scoring offers a personalized look at actual plaque burden—critical since many heart attacks occur in people not flagged as high-risk. As Dr. Pearson explains, a high score doesn't mean you will need surgery. Instead, it's typically a cue for lifestyle and medication adjustments, not invasive procedures. He references the ISCHEMIA Trial, which found no benefit from stenting stable, asymptomatic patients over optimized medical therapy.We close with practical advice: talk to your doctor, especially if you have a family history or fall in that “borderline risk” zone where a CAC score might influence your care plan. And yes, it should be okay to keep enjoying that butter—as long as you're informed and mindful and don't overdue it.Takeaways: Full-fat dairy is not the enemy—it may even be heart-protective. If your LDL skyrockets on keto, that's a red flag worth addressing. CAC scans can personalize your prevention plan and offer peace of mind or a critical nudge toward action. Want more clarity on your own heart health journey? Talk with your doctor about whether a calcium scan makes sense for you and explore Dr. Pearson's writings on The Skeptical Cardiologist and MedPage Today.

In this short episode, Tara breaks down the key distinctions between these two types of progesterone, explaining why bioidentical forms are the safest and most effective option for women in midlife. Tara highlights the potential harms of synthetic progestins—which are commonly found in birth control pills, certain IUDs, and some hormone replacement therapies—including increased risks of breast cancer, negative cardiovascular impacts, mood disturbances, and more. In contrast, natural bioidentical progesterone supports sleep, mood, brain health, and overall well-being, without the risks associated with its synthetic counterparts. If you're on hormone therapy or using birth control, Tara encourages you to check what type of progesterone you're taking and consider making a switch if necessary. This episode is full of clear, empowering information to help you make the best choices for your long-term health as you navigate perimenopause and beyond.   Here's what you'll learn in this episode: What's REAL progesterone and what's FAKE? Tara breaks down the difference between bioidentical (aka body-identical) progesterone and synthetic progestins—and why you should absolutely care. Why progestins (the fake stuff) can be harmful Learn about the potential risks progestins carry, including higher chances of breast cancer, cardiovascular issues, and unwanted mood disturbances. How natural progesterone actually supports your health From better sleep to improved mood, bone strength, a happier heart, and even better hair—Tara reveals why this hormone is your BFF in midlife. Where these progestins are hiding Birth control pills, IUDs (hello, Mirena!), and even some outdated hormone replacement therapies are common culprits. Tara drops key brand names and what to watch out for (don't worry, she's listed them in the show notes too). What to do if you think you're on a progestin Tara offers concrete advice on how to talk to your healthcare provider about making the switch—and why there's almost always a natural, better alternative.   Commonly Used Progestins (synthetic forms): • Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) – used in Prempro, Provera • Norethisterone (Norethindrone) – found in some birth control and HRT pills • Levonorgestrel – used in IUDs (e.g., Mirena, Kyleena, Skyla, Liletta), birth control pills • Norgestrel – in some oral contraceptives • Drospirenone – in pills like Yaz, Yasmin • Desogestrel, Etonogestrel, Dienogest – in various contraceptive options   You may also enjoy these episodes: Episode 96: What is "estrogen kickback" when you start on progesterone HRT?

Send us a textShort Summary: Heart health and the ketogenic diet, with expert insights from a cardiologist and researcher.About the guest: Matthew Budoff, MD, is a preventive cardiologist and professor of medicine at UCLA School of Medicine.Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Transcript and other information on Substack.Episode Summary: Dr. Matthew Budoff discusses cholesterol, heart disease, and his study on the ketogenic diet's impact on lean, metabolically healthy individuals with high LDL cholesterol. He explains LDL, HDL, and triglycerides, debunking myths about their direct link to heart disease, and emphasizes the importance of coronary calcium scans to assess plaque buildup. Budoff also covers statins, dietary cholesterol, and personalized heart health strategies.Key Takeaways:LDL cholesterol is not a definitive predictor of heart disease; plaque buildup, assessed via coronary calcium scans, is a better indicator.Lean metabolically healthy people on a ketogenic diet may have high LDL without increased plaque progression after one year.Coronary calcium scans, costing ~$100, are recommended for men around age 40 and women around 45-50 to evaluate heart disease risk.Statins effectively lower LDL and can reverse soft plaque, but may be overprescribed for those without plaque buildup.Dietary cholesterol has minimal impact on blood cholesterol, as the liver produces ~85% of it.Ketogenic diet can aid weight loss & diabetes control but may cause high LDL in some lean individuals, known as lean mass hyper-responders.Plaque progression depends more on existing plaque than LDL levels in metabolically healthy ketogenic diet followers.Heart health varies widely due to genetics and other unknown factors, underscoring the need for personalized assessments.Related episode:M&M #158: Ketosis & Ketogenic Diet: Brain & Mental Health, Metabolism, Diet & Exercise, Cancer, Diabetes | Dominic D'AgoSupport the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, etc. at the M&M Substack Affiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

Story at-a-glance Cigar and smokeless tobacco users faced significantly higher risks of stroke, heart failure, and cardiovascular death, even without any history of cigarette use, according to a large-scale U.S. analysis Sole users of smokeless tobacco had a 70% higher risk of heart failure and a 66% increased risk of dying from coronary heart disease, demonstrating that these products are not “safer alternatives” Tobacco harms your cardiovascular system, as it damages the endothelium, increases oxidative stress, impairs oxygen delivery, and promotes clot formation, even in brief or secondhand exposures Other studies have confirmed that all tobacco products deliver carcinogens and cause gene-level disruptions tied to respiratory symptoms and increased mortality Quitting requires targeting both nicotine addiction and behavioral triggers. Replacing routines, setting boundaries, and supporting detox pathways improve your chances of breaking the cycle for good

Join Al Ponton, Riverside's EMS Manager, as he discusses the importance of distinguishing between common discomforts and serious symptoms. Being informed could save a life, including your own.

This week on Heart Doc VIP, Dr. Joel Kahn explores new and historic data showing that heart disease can begin shockingly early—sometimes before age 30. A pivotal 1998 study revealed that up to one-third of young adults already show signs of atherosclerosis, emphasizing the urgent need for primordial prevention starting in childhood. Dr. Kahn outlines the key health screenings every parent should know: blood pressure checks, body weight monitoring, and essential lab work. Later in the episode, Dr. Kahn revisits new findings on the Paleo diet, showing it may have included more plant- and starch-based foods than often assumed. He also discusses concerning links between processed meats and dementia, plus a cautionary look at a recent study on a specific group following the KETO diet—don't buy into the hype just yet.

Is LDL cholesterol the best way to measure and predict heart disease?New research suggests no!Dave Feldman is an engineer turned citizen scientist who has devoted his life to understanding a phenomenon that some individuals around the world are experiencing: a robust increase in LDL cholesterol while on a ketogenic diet.Dave's past research has identified a unique phenotype dubbed Lean Mass Hyper-Responders (LMHRs). LMHRs respond to ketogenic therapy with a metabolic profile that includes elevated LDL-C and ApoB levels with otherwise healthy metabolic markers, including low triglycerides, high HDL, low blood pressure, low insulin resistance, and low BMI.In Dave's most recent publication, what most doctors would consider dangerously high LDL levels in LMHRs did not correlate with an increased risk of heart disease.In this video, Dr. Bret Scher sits down with Dave Feldman to discuss this groundbreaking study and its implications for ketogenic therapy and cardiology.Key Takeaways:LMHRs on a long-term ketogenic diet who show elevated LDL can show robust metabolic healthLDL-C and ApoB were not linked to plaque progression in LMHRsExisting plaque did predict future plaque accumulation in LMHRsIndividualized approaches to cardiovascular risk assessment are crucial to serve this group better.

For nearly a century, scientists believed we had discovered ALL of the essential fatty acids the human body needs. But what if they were wrong? Stephanie Venn-Watson, a veterinary epidemiologist and longevity researcher, joins Dave to reveal a groundbreaking discovery—a newly identified essential fatty acid, C15, that may hold the key to healthier aging and even longer lifespans. Originally uncovered in an unlikely place—U.S. Navy dolphins that were outliving their wild counterparts by decades—this forgotten fat is now shaking up the scientific community. So why hasn't anyone told you about it?? Decades of misguided dietary advice stripped this crucial nutrient from our food system, leaving an entire generation unknowingly deficient. Even worse, pregnant women have been some of the MOST hurt from this cruel change to our modern diet. Now, cutting-edge research is proving that C15 plays a critical role in cellular stability, mitochondrial function, and total mental health. What You'll Learn in This Episode: • The first new essential fatty acid discovered in nearly 100 years—and why it matters • How dolphins led to one of the BIGGEST breakthroughs in human nutrition • Why the removal of C15 from our diets is accelerating aging • The surprising connection between C15 and mental health • How this “missing” fat could outperform some of the biggest longevity drugs today! • What foods naturally contain C15—and should you supplement it? *** Get 15$ off Fatty15 at www.fatty15.com with code: DAVE *** SPONSORS Puori | Visit https://puori.com/dave and use code DAVE for 20% off.Calroy | Head to https://calroy.com/dave for an exclusive discount.

When it comes to nutrition, it's important to stay open-minded and supportive of each person's unique journey—while also sharing the latest research that can help guide healthier choices...     So on today's show, I want to go over ground-breaking studies that demonstrate how simple dietary swaps can significantly lower the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and premature death.     By substituting certain more inflammatory foods with 3 specific alternatives, the research reveals powerful information that may positively influence your dietary decisions for the better.     I hope you'll join me on today's Cabral Concept 3331 as we explore how these changes could reduce your risk of heart disease by 25–35%.
