Drive Time Show Podcast 29-09-2026: Heart Health & Gaming Minds: What Are Children Being Exposed To? by Voice of Islam

We walk through why potassium is the quiet partner in blood pressure control, and why focusing only on sodium misses half the story. We break down the safest ways to get more potassium, the research behind potassium-enriched salt substitutes, and the red-flag situations where extra potassium can be dangerous.• how potassium lowers blood pressure through kidney sodium excretion and vessel relaxation • why most adults fall short on potassium while eating too much sodium • the DASH-style “food first” approach and everyday potassium-rich foods • what potassium-enriched salt substitutes are and what stroke outcome trials show • hyperkalemia risks and the highest-risk groups, especially kidney disease • medication interactions that can raise potassium, including ACE inhibitors, ARBs and spironolactone • why over-the-counter potassium supplements are not a go-to blood pressure strategy • two questions to ask your clinician before making changes You can find us on Instagram, you can find us on Threads, send us an email, but most importantly, stay healthy, my friends.Send us a (voice ) message with this link, we would love to hear from you.

Your Health Is Your Most Valuable Asset — Are You Actually Protecting It? Your health determines almost everything about the life you get to live — yet how much time do we actually spend protecting it? Today on The Karel Cast, we look at what you can do every day to improve your odds of living a longer, healthier life: exercise, diet, daily habits, preventive care and the medical advances changing how doctors treat disease. We also take a closer look at a procedure more people are hearing about: cardiac ablation. Keith Olbermann and Lionel Richie have both publicly discussed undergoing ablations. But what exactly is an ablation? Why is it performed? What heart rhythm problems can it treat, and who might actually need one? Then we turn to Washington and President Donald Trump's appearance at the United Nations General Assembly. Trump addressed world leaders Tuesday while his administration remains locked in an escalating dispute with CNN, MS NOW and Politico over White House press access. The three organizations are challenging the ban in federal court, while CNN was still able to cover Trump at the U.N. using credentials issued independently by the United Nations. We'll talk about what happened at the U.N., the continuing battle over presidential press access, and what happens when attempts to restrict news coverage end up becoming part of the story themselves. Your body is the one home you never get to move out of. So what are you doing today to protect it?

Cancer rise in younger adults may be explained by accelerated cellular aging; “Quadriceps activation failure” may explain common waking difficulty following successful knee replacement; Is “Calocurb” a good natural alternative to GLP-1 drugs? New study claims 4 to 6 servings of whole grains may be the key to heart health—but doubts arise due to its authorship in Iran, a hotbed of scientific research fraud; Splenda back in the crosshairs as new evidence points to genetic damage; Bright lights at night emerge as new heart disease risk factor. 

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death for women, yet the warning signs can be easy to miss or mistaken for stress, menopause or everyday fatigue. In this episode of Baptist HealthTalk, host Johanna Gomez speaks with cardiologist Dr. Andrea Vitello about the symptoms, risk factors and life stages that can affect a woman's heart health.They discuss: Subtle heart symptoms women should not ignore, including fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness, palpitations, jaw pain and shoulder discomfort  How pregnancy complications, menopause and autoimmune conditions can influence cardiovascular risk  Why family history, cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar matter earlier in life than many people realize  The connection between chronic stress, poor sleep and heart health  What early heart disease prevention and personalized cardiovascular care can look like  Three everyday habits that can make a meaningful difference: healthy eating, quality sleep and regular exercise  Why women should trust their instincts, advocate for themselves and ask questions when something does not feel right Dr. Vitello also explains how Baptist Health's women's heart program takes a comprehensive, personalized approach to evaluating cardiovascular risk across every stage of life.Host:Johanna GomezAward-Winning Host & JournalistGuest:Andrea Vitello, M.D. Cardiologist Baptist Health Miami Cardiac & Vascular InstituteIf you found this episode helpful, we also recommend the following:Heart Disease in Women: Symptoms, Menopause & What You Must KnowWomen and Heart DiseaseWomen & Heart Health

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about cozy cardio, the viral trend of trading intense workouts for pajama-clad walks, candlelit stretching, and low-key movement paired with your favorite show or drink. It sounds too easy to work, so does swapping intensity for comfort really move the needle on your health, or is it just a trendy excuse to skip the hard stuff? Jenn breaks down the biochemistry behind why gentler movement might do more for your cortisol, consistency, and long-term results than you'd expect. Still, she also flags a few situations where leaning on cozy cardio alone could work against you. Is this the missing piece your routine has been needing, or a trend best kept in moderation? Jenn shares her honest take. Like what you're hearing? Be sure to check out the full-length episodes of new releases every Wednesday. Have an idea for a nutrition nugget?

What if eating for better health didn't mean completely overhauling your diet? In this episode of the Mind Movement Health Podcast, Kate Boyle shares five foods she regularly includes in her own diet, and explores the science behind why they may support better health. We're not talking expensive supplements, complicated meal plans or the latest "superfood" trend. These are simple, everyday foods that can easily be added to your meals and snacks. Kate explores the health benefits of blueberries, cruciferous vegetables, green tea, sourdough bread and dark chocolate, including their potential role in supporting heart health, gut health, healthy ageing and overall wellbeing. You'll also discover why there really is no single superfood that will transform your health. Instead, it's the small choices you make consistently, and the variety of foods you eat over time, that matter most. Because healthy eating doesn't need to be perfect or complicated. Sometimes it's simply about making a few better swaps and upgrades to the foods you're already eating.  

What if avoiding the sun carries health risks of its own?In this episode, Drs. May and Tim revisit the relationship between sunlight, cholesterol, statins, and longevity. They unpack a large Swedish observational study linking low sun exposure with higher mortality and question whether conventional advice has oversimplified the role of sunlight in human health.From vitamin D and cholesterol to skin cancer concerns and cardiovascular risk, this conversation explores why the full picture may be more complicated than “sun bad, statins good.”In this episode:What a Swedish study found about sun exposure and mortalityWhy observational research shows association—not causationHow sunlight supports vitamin D production and other biological processesThe complicated relationship between cholesterol, statins, and heart healthWhy absolute risk matters when evaluating medical treatmentsHow fear-based health messaging can overlook important tradeoffsThe importance of discussing your individual risks with your physicianThe takeaway? Health rarely fits into a simple headline. Get informed, understand your personal risk factors, and make decisions based on the complete picture—not fear.

Welcome to the latest Midlife Minute. Today, I'm answering listeners' questions about cardiovascular risk, focusing on Lp(a), LDL, statins, and the changes women experience after menopause. Stay tuned for more! IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why women should have their Lp(a) checked both before and after menopause How Lp(a) works as a risk enhancer, and how cardiovascular risk becomes more significant when elevated Lp(a) occurs alongside high LDL Why family history is particularly helpful for women with a 10-year calculated cardiovascular risk that looks reassuringly low I review the current guidelines for primary prevention Why, even though research has shown reductions in major cardiac events with GLP-1s, GLP-1s do not replace statins for lowering LDL  What a CAC score can reveal about coronary artery calcification, and what it cannot detect How AI-assisted CT angiography (such as Clearly) can map, quantify, and characterize plaque throughout the coronary branches Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website.

In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, I sit down with Angie, Heart Wellness Coach, to explore why endurance athletes and active adults over 40 are not immune to AFib and other heart rhythm challenges. We go beyond the heart itself to look at the interconnected factors that may influence cardiovascular health as we age—including the nervous system, inflammation, oxidative stress, sleep, gut health, mineral balance, hydration, recovery, nutrition, and metabolic health. In this episode, we discuss: • Why AFib can show up in aging endurance athletes • The connection between the autonomic nervous system, vagus nerve, HRV, and heart rhythm • Sleep apnea, chronic stress, and inadequate recovery • Gut health, inflammation, and cardiovascular health • Magnesium, electrolytes, hydration, and mineral balance • Protein, muscle health, and metabolic resilience • Why being "fit" doesn't always mean your body is resilient • Practical ways to support your heart and whole-body health as you age This conversation fits into a much bigger message I continue to share: Your body isn't broken—it's adapting to the signals it receives. Foundations → Signals → Adaptation → Resilience → FutureYou™

Zepbound Could Save My Heart — Or Wreck My Gallbladder | The 9/11 Lie Nobody Talks About My cardiologist just offered me Zepbound — for my heart, my weight, my blood pressure. So why am I hesitating? Zepbound and the other GLP-1 weight loss drugs are being called wonder drugs, and for good reason: lower blood pressure, less risk of Afib, real weight loss. My doctor says he's comfortable putting me on a low dose to help shrink my aortic growth and get my numbers where they need to be. But these drugs also carry real risks — pancreas damage, gallbladder problems, even vision loss. And here's the twist: I'm five pounds over the weight threshold to qualify. Lose that five pounds on my own, and I lose access to a drug that might help me more. Millions of people are quietly wrestling with this same math right now. I'm putting mine out loud. Then — the story that still makes my blood boil. New evidence keeps confirming what many of us have said for years: the air around Ground Zero after 9/11 was toxic for a half-mile out, officials knew it, and they said it was safe anyway. Giuliani lied. The agencies lied. We were attacked from outside, then lied to from within. That combination is what still haunts survivors and first responders today. Let's talk about both.

High cholesterol can start damaging your arteries long before you feel anything — and your total cholesterol number does not tell the whole story. So when should you start checking it, what do LDL and other cholesterol particles really mean, and when are lifestyle changes no longer enough?In this episode of Baptist Health Talk, host Dr. Anthony Gonzalez speaks with Dr. Sanjeev Gulati about how cholesterol contributes to heart attacks and heart failure, why screening should begin earlier than many people think, and the treatment options available today. Why high cholesterol is directly linked to heart attack risk  Common cholesterol myths, including the idea that diet is the only cause  How LDL and lipoprotein(a) contribute to plaque buildup and inflammation  How uncontrolled cholesterol can ultimately contribute to heart failure  Why cholesterol screening may need to begin in your 20s  How family history and familial hypercholesterolemia change cardiovascular risk  Lifestyle steps that can help lower cholesterol  When cholesterol-lowering medication may be needed  Why cholesterol control remains critical even after a heart attack  How advanced lipid testing can provide a clearer picture of individual riskHost:Anthony Gonzalez, M.D.Chief of Surgery, Baptist Health Baptist HospitalMedical Director of Bariatric Surgery, Baptist HealthGuest:Sanjeev Kumar Gulati, M.D., Executive Deputy DirectorSystem Chief of Cardiovascular MedicineBaptist Health Heart & Vascular CareIf you found this episode helpful, we also recommend:What Your Blood Pressure and Cholesterol Numbers Really MeanCalcium Scores Explained: What Your Heart Rick Really Looks LikeHeart Disease in Young Adults: Why It's Rising (And What to Watch For)

Welcome! And thank you for listening.   In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Bret Scher. He is a board-certified cardiologist, lipidologist, and leading expert in therapeutic uses of metabolic therapies, including ketogenic diets. We discuss Dr. Scher's journey from conventional cardiology to ketogenic medicine, the connection between insulin resistance and cardiovascular health, and why looking only at LDL cholesterol may not tell the whole story. We explore triglyceride-to-HDL ratios, fasting insulin, blood sugar, calcium scores, CT angiography, and the complex relationship between ketogenic diets and rising LDL. Finally, we discuss ketogenic therapy and mental health, metabolic flexibility, and what endurance athletes can learn about nutrition and avoiding the dreaded “bonk.” Thanks as always for listening.

What if cardiovascular disease could be identified before traditional warning signs appear?In this episode of the Wise Divine Women Podcast, Dana Irvine speaks with Dr. James Thompson, cardiovascular radiologist and specialist in advanced cardiac imaging, about the rapidly evolving role of artificial intelligence in heart health, cardiovascular prevention, and early detection.Heart disease remains a major health concern for women, yet during perimenopause and menopause, cardiovascular health can sometimes be overshadowed by conversations about hormones, weight, breast health, sleep, and other symptoms.Dr. Thompson explains why cardiovascular disease often begins much earlier than people realize and how newer imaging technologies, including coronary CT angiography (CTA) combined with artificial intelligence, are helping physicians identify and characterize plaque with greater precision.In This EpisodeHow AI is transforming cardiovascular imagingWhy cardiovascular disease can develop silentlyWhy prevention needs to begin earlier in lifeThe difference between a calcium score and coronary CTAWhy a calcium score of zero does not completely rule out diseaseCalcified versus non-calcified plaqueHow plaque may begin forming in the 20s, 30s, and 40sHow AI can help quantify plaque and inflammationWhy women may experience cardiovascular symptoms differentlyThe connection between inflammation, metabolism, and heart healthCalcium Score vs. Coronary CTAOne of the most important distinctions in this conversation is the difference between a coronary artery calcium score and coronary CTA.A calcium score identifies calcified plaque. Dr. Thompson explains that coronary CTA provides a more detailed view of the coronary arteries and can identify both calcified and earlier non-calcified plaque.As he shares:“A calcium score of zero does not fully mean that you do not have coronary artery disease.”Understanding this difference may become increasingly important as cardiovascular medicine moves toward earlier identification and prevention.Women & Cardiovascular HealthWomen do not always experience the symptoms traditionally associated with heart disease. This makes awareness, personal risk factors, and communication with healthcare providers especially important.Dr. Thompson encourages listeners to understand that heart disease is not simply a condition of older age. Earlier awareness may provide more opportunity to address modifiable risk factors before cardiovascular disease progresses.Learn MoreLearn more about Dr. James Thompson's work and advancements in preventative cardiovascular imaging at:https://preventi.ai/For support with hormones, metabolism, breast health, digestion, cardiovascular wellness, and whole-body health, visit DanaIrvine.com and book a Health Clarity Call.AI in cardiology, artificial intelligence in medicine, cardiac imaging, women's heart health, heart disease prevention, cardiovascular health, coronary CTA, cardiac CTA, calcium scoring, non-calcified plaque, vulnerable plaque, coronary artery disease, early heart disease detection, cardiovascular screening, menopause heart health,

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.

"It [cardiovascular disease]  becomes an issue in middle age because that's when they start looking, not because that's when it starts." —Dr. Daniel Chong Heart disease and midlife are more connected than most people — or their doctors — realize, and this episode of Essential Ingredients pulls that connection into the open. Justine Reichman sits down with naturopathic physician Dr. Daniel Chong and returning co-host Dr. Lisa Brent to unpack why cardiovascular risk quietly rises for both men and women in midlife, and why so few people are told to watch for it until it's already underway. This conversation is for anyone in perimenopause, menopause, or andropause who's been handed a cholesterol number without context, or who's simply never been told when to start paying attention. Dr. Chong breaks down lipid testing, arterial plaque, nitric oxide, and even the surprising role your dentist plays in your heart health — all in plain, usable language. By the end, you'll understand that cardiovascular disease isn't a midlife event — it's a decades-long process that just happens to get noticed in midlife, and that the actions you take starting this week can change its trajectory. Key Takeaways: Plaque development in the arteries can begin in childhood or even before birth, so family history matters far more than age when deciding when to start testing. A single elevated LDL reading isn't enough to justify a statin prescription — triglyceride-to-HDL ratios and more detailed testing give a fuller picture. Gum disease and harsh antibacterial mouthwash can disrupt oral bacteria needed to produce nitric oxide, which directly affects artery health. Dark leafy greens, berries, garlic, and onions support nitric oxide production and should be eaten daily, regardless of what else is on the plate. Movement spread throughout the day — not just a single workout — meaningfully lowers cardiovascular risk on its own. Around age 35–40 is a reasonable starting point for a fasting lipid panel if there's no strong family history pushing that number younger.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with cardiologist and electrophysiologist Dr. Gregory Marcus, chair of the American Heart Association scientific statement writing group.

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

What does sugar have to do with heart disease? According to Dr. Geoffrey Boone, preventive cardiologist, much more than most people realize. After decades of helping people prevent heart disease, he explains how sugar contributes to inflammation, damages the lining of the arteries, and why these changes can begin years before any symptoms appear.In this episode, we talk about why Dr. Boone believes prevention still isn't the main focus of healthcare, how modern imaging can detect heart disease long before a heart attack, and why highly processed foods have become such a problem. We also discuss why moderation isn't always realistic for people with sugar addiction, where lifestyle changes fit alongside medication, and the practical steps you can take today to protect your heart for the long term.Find Dr. Boone's book here.To get personalized guidance to stop emotional eating and break free from sugar cravings, plus support and accountability... join the 90-day program, Freedom from Cravings Formula TODAY.For step-by-step guidance toward freedom from cravings, get your copy of my new book: "Break Free from Sugar Cravings".

Today we're talking about sleep. The more scientists study sleep, the clearer it becomes that it's not just about resting our bodies - it's much more than that. In fact, sleep is the foundation upon which a healthy diet, exercise, and overall wellbeing are all built upon. So what happens when that foundation is shaky?
