In Episode 499, Dr. Joel Kahn explores the growing importance of apolipoprotein B (ApoB) testing as a powerful tool for assessing cardiovascular risk. He reviews new research highlighting why ApoB may provide a more complete picture of atherosclerosis risk than traditional cholesterol measurements alone and explains how it relates to LDL-C and Lp(a). Dr. Kahn also discusses several noteworthy studies in preventive medicine and longevity, including research linking GLP-1 medications to lower cancer risk, the potential DNA-protective effects of melatonin, and new findings on stroke and clot prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation. Additional topics include the relationship between very low Lp(a) levels and diabetes risk, the benefits of organic produce for breast cancer prevention, Pilates training for blood pressure management, and the connection between processed meat consumption and gastrointestinal cancers. The episode concludes with a look at Endothelin-1 (ET-1), an important marker involved in vascular health and cardiovascular disease, along with a discussion of Vinia grape powder and its potential role in lowering ET-1 levels.

Dr. Catherine Marti is a board-certified cardiologist specializing in advanced heart failure, transplant cardiology, women's cardiovascular disease, and cardiac imaging.  She is the author of, "Heart Healthy Dishes," and practices at Piedmont Heart Institute in Atlanta, Georgia. EPISODE SUMMARY BELOW: Nate interviewed Dr. Catherine Marti, a cardiologist specializing in heart failure. They discussed the growing problem of alcoholic cardiomyopathy in young men, with Catherine explaining how she uses echocardiograms to measure ejection fraction and treat heart failure patients with five class-1 recommended medications that can improve outcomes by over 80%. The conversation covered the emerging role of GLP-1 medications in heart failure treatment, particularly for patients with preserved ejection fraction and chronic kidney disease, with Catherine noting that these drugs appear to reduce inflammation and fibrosis in the heart beyond just weight loss benefits. They also discussed the importance of early screening for cardiovascular disease, with Catherine advocating for coronary artery imaging starting at age 30-40, and the limitations of current prevention strategies that focus on risk factors rather than actual disease presence. The interview concluded with Catherine sharing insights about nutrition, recommending a Mediterranean-style whole food diet over supplements, and discussing the challenges of managing GLP-1 therapy to prevent muscle loss while ensuring adequate nutrition.

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death for women, yet so many women still don't realize how much power they have to change their future health. In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Michelle Dew shares why understanding your heart health early can save your life later. From the impact of stress, hormones, menopause, and pregnancy to the importance of knowing your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar numbers, this episode breaks down heart health in a practical and empowering way. Dr. Dew also explains how women's symptoms often look different than men's, why prevention matters at every age, and how small daily choices can create lasting change. Through honest stories, expert insight, and compassionate guidance, this conversation reminds women that taking care of their heart is not selfish—it's essential.  Key Takeaways:   Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women, but many cases are preventable through lifestyle changes and early awareness.   Women's heart attack symptoms can look different than men's, including fatigue, shortness of breath, jaw pain, or shoulder discomfort.   Every decade matters—your 20s, 30s, and 40s are all important seasons for building healthy habits and knowing your health numbers.   Stress, smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, and cholesterol all significantly impact long-term heart health.   Simple daily habits like walking, reducing stress, staying active, and listening to your body can protect your heart for years to come.   We couldn't highlight incredible stories like this without the support of our sponsor, CommunityAmerica Credit Union. Thank you for helping us promote connection, well-being, and stronger communities.

What if improving blood flow—and potentially enhancing heart health, energy, and even cognitive function—didn't require surgery? In this Living to 100 Club episode, we explore EECP therapy, a non-invasive treatment designed to improve circulation and support cardiovascular health. I speak with Jack Clifford about his personal experience with Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP). EECP is a non-invasive therapy designed to increase circulation and support cardiovascular function. Originally developed as a treatment for patients with severe angina, EECP remains relatively underutilized in the United States. This is despite FDA clearance and Medicare coverage in certain cases. Jack shares his journey with EECP, including the improvements he experienced in energy, sleep, and overall well-being. We also explore the broader potential of this therapy. What are its possible applications for conditions such as cognitive decline, long COVID, and other circulation-related concerns. Our conversation goes beyond the medical procedure itself. We touch on larger questions about innovation in healthcare. This includes why some treatments gain traction while others remain on the margins, and what individuals can do to advocate for their own health. As always, this discussion is intended to inform and inspire curiosity—not to replace medical advice. Listeners are encouraged to consult with qualified healthcare professionals when considering treatment options. Key Topics Covered What EECP is and how it works Jack's personal experience and outcomes The standard treatment protocol and what patients can expect Why EECP remains underutilized in the U.S. Research findings and emerging applications Considerations, risks, and accessibility challenges The role of patient advocacy in exploring treatment options Listener Takeaways There may be non-surgical approaches to improving circulation and cardiovascular health Some therapies remain underrecognized despite clinical research and regulatory approval Personal health outcomes can improve through a combination of medical intervention and self-awareness Staying informed and asking questions is an important part of managing one's own health journey Mini Bio  Jack Clifford is a retired U.S. Coast Guard E-9 with 21 years of active duty service. He is the author of EECP: The Most Underutilized Therapy in Medicine. After retiring from the military at 39, Clifford spent years focused almost entirely on the health of his wife Jennifer. During this time, she was navigating her traumatic brain injury, scleroderma, and lymphoma across two decades. During that period, he stopped caring for himself. In January 2021, he was hospitalized at 47 with severe coronary artery disease. His diagnoses included a 100% blocked LAD (the widowmaker), a 95% blocked left circumflex, and an 80% blocked right coronary artery. He declined to sign a combined cath-and-bypass consent form and leaving the hospital against medical advice. Alternatively, he found EECP — a therapy he had first encountered years earlier while researching options for his mother after her own triple bypass and subsequent cognitive decline. He drove three hours to find a cardiologist willing to use EECP as a first-line treatment. Additionally, Jack financed his own machine on credit, and has used it nearly every day since. Over more than 600 hours of treatment he observed many changes. These cut across cardiovascular function, cognition, sleep, and overall vitality that deepened his understanding of the endothelium as a whole-body system. His wife Jennifer also began using the same machine. She hasexperienced her own measurable improvements — turning a personal discovery into an obligation to share it. Through his writing and educational outreach, Clifford seeks to ensure that no patient is offered EECP only after being told their options have run out. Importantly, he advises that the structural and economic reasons for its neglect become part of the public conversation about American healthcare.

Lipoprotein(a) or Lp(a) is suddenly all the rage because several drug companies are working on medications to lower this previously resistant form of cholesterol. Almost entirely genetic, unaffected by diet or lifestyle, it has numerous studies linking it to heart disease and aortic valve calcification.

On today's Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), shares a holistic perspective on health news today. Dr. Jack starts with an announcement the U.S. military will no longer require American troops to get the flu vaccine, based on medical autonomy and religious freedom. The annual flu shot has been required for all U.S. military personnel since the 1950s. The decision has sparked debate with public health organizations, like the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases arguing that high vaccination coverage remains critical for military readiness, particularly in close-quarters living and working environments. Some retired military officials have also criticized the shift, pointing to the historical threat influenza poses to troop readiness.Moving on to the hantavirus, which is responsible for the deaths of three people on a cruise ship, Dr. Jack compares similarities with the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and equates the deaths from Covid were mainly patients already dealing with comorbidities, making them more susceptible than anyone who was healthy. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified the global risk to the general public from the recent hantavirus outbreak as low. They explicitly state this outbreak is not the next COVID-19, as hantavirus spreads differently and is not highly contagious.Doug and Dr. Jack join forces to address the battle of finding proper supplements, and one they agree is a great made-from-whole-foods option is from Standard Process. Their Diaplex and Zypan vitamins/supplements that trigger better digestive support and response while also helping to balance the sugar control in the system. Standard Process supplements are highly regarded for their "seed-to-supplement" approach, which focuses on whole-food nutrition rather than synthetic isolates. By controlling everything from the soil to the final pill, the brand aims to deliver nutrients in the complex, natural state that the body recognizes and absorbs best.All this and more in this episode of Good Day Health. For more on Good Day Health…Website: GoodDayHealthShow.comSocial Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women, yet awareness is still surprisingly low. In this episode of The Positive Pause®, host Claire Gill sits down with two of NMF's Medical Advisory Committee (MAC) members, Dr. Emily Lau, a cardiologist specializing in women's cardiovascular health, and Michelle Routhenstein, a preventive cardiology dietitian, to unpack why midlife is a critical window for prevention and what women can do to take control of their heart health.They explore how menopause changes cardiovascular risk, why heart disease often goes unnoticed, and how small, sustainable lifestyle changes can have a major impact.Emily Lau, MD, MPH a women's cardiovascular health specialist and investigator at Mass General Brigham. Dr. Lau co-directs the Women's Heart Health Program. Dr. Lau's laboratory focuses on understanding how biologic sex differences and female-specific cardiovascular risk factors contribute to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease uniquely in women. Michelle Routhenstein, MS, RD, CDCES, CDN, is the owner and president of Entirely Nourished LLC, a specialized private practice in nutrition counseling and consulting focused on the prevention and management of heart disease. Employing a science-based, holistic approach, she is dedicated to enhancing women's heart health by addressing cardiometabolic risk factors and mitigating the likelihood of cardiovascular issues as individuals age.Key Concepts CoveredMidlife is a turning point for heart healthCardiovascular risk accelerates during and after menopause, making this stage of life a critical opportunity for prevention.Heart disease is often silent and under-recognizedMany women don't realize there's an issue because symptoms aren't obvious. At the same time, awareness has actually declined in recent years, which makes education even more important.Health goes beyond weight and appearanceYou can look healthy and still have underlying cardiovascular risk. That's why personalized testing and understanding your numbers matters.Sustainable habits matter more than extreme changesInstead of restrictive diets or drastic routines, small consistent improvements in nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress management lead to better long-term outcomes.Prevention is the real opportunityMidlife isn't just a time of change; it's a chance to take control. With the right approach, most cardiovascular risk factors can be improved or prevented.This conversation makes one thing clear: heart health isn't something women can afford to ignore, especially at midlife. The good news is that most risk factors are preventable and manageable with the right information and consistent action. By focusing on sustainable habits and understanding your personal risk, you can take control of your cardiovascular health and build a stronger future.Connect with Dr. Lau:Website: Mass General Brigham Women's Heart HealthLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emily-lau-11601152/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/‌massgeneral Connect with Michelle:Website: https://www.entirelynourished.comLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/michellerouthenstein/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heart.Health.Nutritionist/

In this episode, I'm back with Dr. Sameena Rahman for Part 2 — and we go places most medical appointments never do. We open with PCOS, GLP-1s, peptides, and ketamine, then shift into what may be the most important hormone conversation I've had on this show: is hormone therapy actually safe for women over 60?Dr. Rahman breaks down why the original Women's Health Initiative study was mismarketed, not flawed — and how that bad marketing set back women's health by two decades. She explains how to think about the risk-benefit calculation for starting hormones later in life, and what screenings actually matter before making that call.We then get into the reality of concierge medicine — why so many doctors are leaving insurance-based practices, and what women who can't afford private care can actually do. And we close on a myth that genuinely alarmed me: the idea that women over 65 no longer need pelvic exams.

On today's Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with the MIND diet and how it can help stave off dementia. The MIND diet (a hybrid of the Mediterranean and DASH diets) fights off dementia by reducing brain inflammation, lowering oxidative stress, and preventing harmful protein build-ups. By prioritizing specific brain-boosting foods and eliminating harmful ones, it can lower your risk of Alzheimer's disease by up to 53%. As beans are part of the MIND Diet, the conversation sidetracks to a focus to beans, (AKA “the musical fruit”) and their gas-producing tendencies. False rumors are that beans contain gluten or could be prepared/cross-contaminated with gluten, causing intestinal issues for those who have gluten intolerance, gluten allergies or celiac disease. The reality is that beans are naturally gluten free, but some may prepare them in ways that make them no longer gluten free. So why do beans make people gassy? Beans make people gassy primarily because they are loaded with oligosaccharides (specifically raffinose) and high amounts of dietary fiber. The human digestive system lacks the specific enzyme required to break down these complex sugars in the stomach and small intestine. Because they remain mostly intact, they travel down to the large intestine where beneficial gut bacteria feast on them.Moving on, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss the primary start to good health, and the magic is about a healthy diet and exercise. Colorectal cancer is the 3rd most common cancer worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer-deaths. After initial treatment, people are advised to follow a healthy lifestyle in conjunction with further drug treatments to try and reduce the cancer of coming back. However, a new study found a structured exercise program could be more effective than drug treatments in preventing colon cancer recurring. Shifting focus to mangoes, something to know is they are a nutrient-dense tropical fruit packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, offering a wide array of health benefits, including promoting glowing skin, supporting heart health, and aiding digestion. What researchers are more recently finding, is that adding mangoes to your diet can significantly support postmenopausal health. Research shows that consuming about two servings (1.5 cups) daily can reduce systolic blood pressure, lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol, and improve blood sugar responses. They are also rich in antioxidants that help promote skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles.Then, a discussion linked to supplements linked to liver damage that have otherwise been considered healthy. Those in question are numeric, green tea, ashwagandha, red yeast rice, garcinia cambogia, black cohosh. Are the supplements generally bad for our health, or is it more about how they're prepared or if they are synthetic as opposed to the truly healthier food-based supplements. The answer is simpler than one may suspect: food-based supplements will always be healthier than lab-created synthetic supplements. All this and more are part of today's Good Day Health podcast with Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus.  For more on Good Day Health… Website: GoodDayHealthShow.comSocial Media: @GoodDayNetworks

This week, Bobbi Conner talks with MUSC's Dr. Thomas Di Salvo about heart health and prevention, when you have a family history of heart disease.

On this vintage episode of Vitality Radio, Jared takes a hard look at the cholesterol hypothesis and why it has failed to deliver true solutions for heart health. Instead of focusing on lowering cholesterol—a vital compound for hormones, brain function, and cellular integrity—he highlights the often-overlooked root cause: stiff, aging arteries. You'll learn how the blood vessels lose flexibility with age, stress, toxins, poor diet, and inactivity, and why this breakdown leads to high blood pressure and drives cardiovascular risk far more than cholesterol numbers alone. Jared explains the role of nitric oxide in reversing arterial aging and how natural boosters like beets, leafy greens, and amino acids support healthy nitric oxide production. This episode is about shifting the conversation: instead of suppressing what the body needs, learn how to encourage its own built-in repair and resilience mechanisms.Products:N.O.

Loneliness is increasingly being recognized not simply as a social issue, but as a major threat to public health. Cardiologist and behavioral medicine pioneer Dr. Alan Rozanski says the evidence is now clear: meaningful human connection influences everything from heart health to longevity and emotional resilience. In this conversation with Peter Bowes, he explains how social isolation affects the body biologically, why purpose and vitality matter as much as diet and exercise, and why modern life may be weakening our ability to connect. He also explores the difference between being alone and feeling lonely, and the complex role technology and social media now play in our relationships. Ultimately, he argues that the strongest predictor of long-term wellbeing may not simply be how long we live — but how vital and connected we feel along the way. -- May is National Mental Health Awareness Month, observed annually since 1949 to reduce stigma, provide support, and educate the public on mental wellness -- --This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.

In Episode 196 of the Fit Mother Project Podcast, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi sits down with board-certified cardiac surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia for a deep, myth-busting conversation on the real root causes of heart disease.Dr. Ovadia has operated on thousands of patients, transformed his own health by losing nearly 100 pounds, and now dedicates his work to keeping people off the operating table entirely.Together, they challenge decades of conventional medical thinking around cholesterol, statins, and dietary fat, and replace it with a clearer, more empowering framework built around insulin resistance and inflammation.Dr. Ovadia shares the five key steps to reversing insulin resistance, the five basic metabolic markers everyone should know, what advanced lipid testing can reveal that a standard panel misses, and how to build a diet centered on whole, real food. He also explains where statins genuinely help, where they fall short, and why the standard American approach to heart disease prevention simply has not worked. If you want to understand what is actually driving heart disease — and what you can do about it starting today — this conversation delivers both the science and the practical tools to take action.Rate & Review - If this episode encouraged you, please rate and review the Fit Mother Project Podcast.

We have an estrogen masterclass mashup episode today, featuring Dr. Carrie Jones, Dr. Stephanie Estima, Dr. Sarah Berry, Dr. Thomas Dayspring, and Dr. Kellyann Niotis, who share their insights on estrogen and women's health in midlife. In this mashup masterclass, we're bringing together a powerful compilation of conversations centered on the impact of hormones on brain health and cognition. We explore the nuanced risk factors for neurocognitive changes and how shifts in insulin sensitivity during perimenopause and menopause influence various aspects, including lipid patterns, hair changes, laboratory markers, and lifestyle inputs. We examine how the gut microbiome changes dynamically, targeted nutritional interventions, the role of advanced testing, including the DUTCH test, and how genetics, detoxification pathways, methylation, and the estrobolome. This is an exciting, dynamic mashup of some of my favorite podcast conversations dedicated to estrogen and midlife physiology. It's one you'll likely want to revisit more than once. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: The critical role estrogen plays neurologically, and how estrogen receptors in the brain increase as estrogen declines How declining estradiol during menopause impacts women's lipid metabolism Why insulin resistance tends to increase during the menopause transition The gut microbiome shifts that occur in postmenopausal women The link between the gut microbiome and menopausal symptoms such as brain fog, anxiety, and sleep issues How impaired estrogen detoxification pathways may increase long-term risk of hormone-sensitive cancers How the DUTCH test provides insight into hormone patterns and metabolism beyond standard bloodwork How declining estrogen disrupts the hair growth cycle and increases shedding Why personalized approaches to supplements, diet, and HRT are essential for women in midlife 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!

***JOIN THE NEXT MASTER YOUR FASTING CHALLENGE THAT STARTS April 22nd, 2026!*** We'll GUIDE you on how to FAST to LOSE FAT for good, and use ‘fast cycling' to achieve uncommon results! ⁠⁠REGISTER HERE!⁠⁠ Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! In this compelling episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling break down a groundbreaking study showing that simply moving your last meal at least three hours before bed — without changing calories, macros, or activity — can produce meaningful improvements in cardiovascular and metabolic health markers. They explore how aligning your fasting window with sleep acts as a powerful lever for lowering nighttime heart rate, reducing diastolic blood pressure, cutting cortisol levels, and producing a sharper, more efficient insulin response the following morning. The hosts connect the research to real-world fasting lifestyle habits, explaining why protecting your overnight fast is one of the most underrated tools for reducing long-term cardiometabolic risk — whether you're new to fasting or already well into your journey. Listeners who rely on dinner OMAD or late-night eating windows will gain a fresh perspective on why shifting that meal earlier can be the missing piece that makes the next day's fast easier, cravings more manageable, and fat burning more efficient. The episode wraps with a clear, actionable framework: anchor your foundational fasting window around sleep, finish dinner earlier, and let the compounding benefits of better sleep quality and improved metabolic timing do the heavy lifting for your health. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.
