In this compelling conversation, Psychiatrist & Health Influencer Paul Saladino advocates for the simplicity of eating real, whole foods and discusses their profound impact on chronic illness, mental health and overall well-being. At the core of this discussion is the importance of eating meat or maintaining a “carnivore” diet, something he says might not be right for everyone but is certainly beneficial for many. He details the detrimental effects of processed foods and funding-driven misinformation within the health industry. Saladino shares personal anecdotes, including the influence of his family's health issues on his career in medicine and nutritional science, his journey with vegan and carnivore diets and the adjustments in his dietary philosophy. He emphasizes the significance of metabolic health over conventional LDL-focused approaches to cardiovascular disease, touching on topics like LDL cholesterol, insulin sensitivity and the pitfalls of overreliance on statins. Additionally, he delves into his favorite forms of exercise, his thoughts on supplementation,and the impact of modern lighting (and lightbulbs) on health. The conversation wraps up with practical advice for achieving health by aligning more closely with the body's natural state and removing systemic impediments.

This episode is brought to you by the Primal Tallow Balms.Dr. Andrew Koutnik is a metabolic scientist who has completed a study on a high-fat ketogenic diet over a 10-year period in a high-risk patient population (type 1 diabetes). This patient population has a 10x higher cardiovascular risk compared to non-diabetics.The question proposed in this 10-year-long high-fat, low-carb study was to assess end markers including glycemic control and advanced cardiovascular markers, while keeping other variables consistent. The results were surprising, showing notable outcomes in both glycemic control and LDL cholesterol.

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I'm a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients. Dr. Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist and CEO of the Healthy Heart Network, discusses the importance of understanding cholesterol in his podcast. He explains that cholesterol is crucial for cell membranes, hormone formation, and vitamin transport, and that LDL and HDL are transport vehicles for cholesterol. Dr. Bishop clarifies that cholesterol's impact on heart health is complex, as high LDL doesn't always indicate artery plaque, and low cholesterol doesn't always mean healthy arteries. He emphasizes the importance of coronary artery calcium scoring, particle numbers, and other factors in assessing artery health and predicting risk. For secondary prevention, lowering cholesterol is crucial, while primary prevention requires a personalized approach, considering individual risk factors and imaging.

The idea that saturated fat might be harmful to our health has sparked controversy for decades. In recent years, counter-narratives have surged: suggesting that concerns over saturated fat were overblown, that LDL cholesterol doesn't matter, or that the original diet-heart hypothesis has been debunked. These claims have become especially popular in online wellness spaces and certain dietary communities, often wrapped in compelling but misleading rhetoric. So what does the best available evidence actually say? And how should we think about saturated fat, LDL cholesterol, and cardiovascular risk in the current day? In this wide-ranging interview, originally recorded for the Chasing Clarity podcast, Alan and Danny explore the scientific consensus around saturated fat's impact on blood lipids, why LDL and apoB are central to atherosclerotic disease, and how dietary patterns can meaningfully reduce risk. Importantly, they also address some of the most persistent myths and half-truths that fuel confusion, from flawed interpretations of the Seven Countries Study to misrepresentations of newer meta-analyses.

A new study has suggested that individuals consuming whole cheese, experienced lower levels of LDL cholesterol compared to individuals who consumed deconstructed cheese which affects the cheese matrix (the network of proteins of fat and minerals made during the cheese manufaturing process) and alters the bioavailability of beneficial fats in the cheese. There may also be a difference between how men and women respond to cheese consumption. This study also challenges the historical view that all saturated fat consumption is harmful. In this episode I discuss what cholesterol is, HDL , LDL and the link between high cholesterol and cardiac health.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 7-03-2025: Dr. Dawn responds to an email about vitamin D and statin interactions, explaining how statins may prevent vitamin D's longevity benefits by interfering with CoQ10 production. She references a study showing vitamin D preserved telomeres and prevented aging over 3-4 years, but benefits disappeared in statin users. For borderline high LDL, she recommends testing for large versus small particles and oxidized LDL rather than treating with statins or red yeast rice. Red yeast rice may also block CoQ10 production, potentially negating vitamin D benefits. She discusses the critical problem of overmedication in elderly patients through a story of a 75-year-old taking 21 prescription drugs who improved dramatically when reduced to eight medications. Multiple specialists practicing standard care in isolation create dangerous polypharmacy without coordination. HIPAA privacy laws prevent medication sharing between providers, while electronic medical records remain siloed and incompatible. England's pilot program will provide whole genome screening for every newborn within 10 years, assessing hundreds of disease risks and enabling personalized medicine. While beneficial for identifying genetic disorders and drug metabolism variations like 2D6 mutations affecting tamoxifen effectiveness, Dr. Dawn expresses concern about government surveillance implications. Unlike voluntary phone tracking, this represents involuntary comprehensive genetic monitoring of citizens unable to provide informed consent. She describes alarming research showing cancer cells steal mitochondria from nerve cells by extending tubes and sucking out energy-producing organelles. This behavior helps cancer cells survive the hostile journey through bloodstream during metastasis. Turbocharged cancer cells with stolen mitochondria generate more energy and survive better when subjected to physical stress mimicking bloodstream travel. Dr. Dawn explores the parasitic amoeba Entamoeba histolytica, which causes intestinal disease but can become invasive, liquefying organs through tissue destruction. The parasite kills cells without eating them immediately, then consumes fragments and displays stolen cellular proteins on its surface to fool the immune system, potentially leading to CRISPR-based treatments or targeted drugs. She discusses converting plastic waste into acetaminophen using modified E. coli bacteria. Researchers chemically degrade PET plastic into precursor molecules, then use bacterial enzymes to complete synthesis into paracetamol with 92% efficiency. This transforms environmental waste into globally important medication, though she notes acetaminophen risks for regular drinkers due to toxic liver metabolites. MIT research reveals that AI writing assistance reduces brain engagement, memory, and sense of authorship. Students using ChatGPT showed lower neural connectivity in memory, attention, and executive function networks over four months. AI users retained less information and struggled to quote from their own essays. Dr. Dawn compares this to physical atrophy, emphasizing that cognitive challenge strengthens neural pathways like exercise strengthens muscles. She warns about fluoroquinolone antibiotics causing aortic aneurysm ruptures, in addition to known risks of tendon ruptures and retinal detachment. People with dilated aortas, hypertension history, or smoking should avoid these drugs entirely. This represents new information that wasn't widely known among primary care physicians, highlighting the importance of continuing medical education. Research shows celecoxib (Celebrex) cuts colon cancer recurrence rates in half for patients with circulating tumor DNA, but provides no benefit without detectable residual disease. This anti-inflammatory drug appears to impair cancer's ability to thrive in metastatic conditions. The finding supports using circulating tumor DNA testing to identify who needs targeted therapy rather than treating everyone. Dr. Dawn concludes with surprising research showing chronic inflammation during aging occurs only in industrialized societies. Studies comparing indigenous communities from Bolivian Amazon and Malaysia with populations from Italy and Singapore found inflammatory cytokines increase with age only in industrialized groups.

I dag har vi med oss den kloke og kunnskapsrike Anders Haakenstad – coach, tidligere gründer og en engasjert stemme i helse- og kostholdsdebatten. Du har kanskje sett han på Instagram, hørt han i andre podcaster og engasjementet hans i kreftdebatten. I dag dykker vi dypt ned i noe av det mest kontroversielle innen helsefeltet: kolesterol.Vi stiller spørsmål som:Hva er egentlig kolesterol – og hvorfor har det fått et så dårlig rykte?Er høyt kolesterol en sykdom, eller et symptom?Hva betyr det når kolesterolet stiger på keto eller lavkarbo?Hvordan bør vi egentlig tolke blodprøver?Er statiner alltid svaret – eller finnes det alternativer?

Here are what I call "The Guardrails of Diet,' i.e.., metabolic markers that tell you whether your diet is genuinely healthy or not. Too many people put too much stock in either a single marker like blood glucose, or the wrong marker like LDL cholesterol that takes you down the path of health disruptions: weight gain, visceral fat expansion, protein glycation, insulin resistance, formation of VLDL particles, cause you to rely on unhealthy foods, even increased risk for heart disease and other conditions. In this episode of the Defiant Health podcast, Let's therefore discuss how to identify the markers that keep you on course for an ideal diet. Support the showYouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WilliamDavisMD Blog: WilliamDavisMD.com Membership website for two-way Zoom: InnerCircle.DrDavisInfiniteHealth.co Books: Super Gut: The 4-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose Weight Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health; revised & expanded ed

In this essential episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra is joined by Dr Michelle O'Donoghue, cardiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital and co-author of the recently updated AHA/ACC acute coronary syndrome guidelines. Together, they explore the revolutionary changes reshaping ACS management in 2025. Dr O'Donoghue shares insights from the landmark guideline development process that unified non-ST elevation ACS and ST elevation MI recommendations into a single comprehensive document. The conversation covers game-changing updates including new risk stratification approaches, the shift toward selective invasive strategies, and the introduction of bivalirudin as an alternative anticoagulation option. The discussion highlights the groundbreaking "lower is better" approach to LDL management with new targets below 55 mg/dL, evolving antiplatelet therapy strategies, and the emerging role of ticagrelor monotherapy. Dr O'Donoghue also addresses future directions in cardiovascular care, from GLP-1 agonists to mechanical circulatory support devices, emphasizing how these guidelines represent a fundamental shift toward more personalized, evidence-based ACS management.

Olive oil, a cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet, boasts a rich composition of essential fatty acids, vitamins A, D, E, and K, along with polyphenols. These antioxidants are celebrated for their role in decelerating cellular ageing. Fatty acids, a pivotal component of lipids, include some that our bodies cannot produce, underscoring the necessity of sourcing them from our diets. Predominantly composed of omega-9, olive oil's monounsaturated fatty acids are linked to a diminished risk of cardiovascular ailments. They are also known to lower LDL-cholesterol—the infamous ‘bad' cholesterol—as well as the overall cholesterol levels in our bloodstream. Additionally, olive oil serves as a natural appetite suppressant, fostering a sense of fullness and aiding in the regulation of blood sugar levels. Does all this mean that olive oil is calorie-free? How do I choose the right oil? And how do you store olive oil properly? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Mike: Thank you Dr Cabral for all you do. I'd like for you to read this question to yourself before reading out loud, to some people this could be disgusting. What can we learn from our stools size, color, texture, smells, amount, frequency?                          Spencer: I've been experiencing shakiness, jitteriness for a decent amount of years now. I had some extended chronic stress. I ran the big 5 recently. My adrenals were tanked and I likely have some fungal/yeast/bacterial overgrowths based on my OAT. I tried the CBO two years ago, but my body was just too burnt out and stressed that no protocol would work. I've started working on nervous system and therapy, which have been helping a ton. I plan to do to CBO again at the end of the year. I also had some mycotoxin markers elevated (mostly the black mold one) likely from my job, which I still have one more year at so I don't want to focus too much on it. Do you have any advice for me in the meantime? I think more frequent smaller meals could help, but my diet is limited because of sibo and gut issues…               Rachel: Hi Dr. Cabral, Over the past 12-20 months I've notice my mother (72) has this ongoing sort of this dry throat combination that results in coughing if she does not continue having lozenges in the morning & throughout the day. She a drink ks water& coffee in the mornings & I day is pretty well hydrated. This was never reoccurring issue until recent, I've tried to tell her body may be telling her something. What do you think it could be? & what would you recommend to a family memo? I also worry eating these ricola lozenges everyday is masking the issue & potentially disrupting her mouth/gut microbiome like say the wrong toothpaste would. Thoughts?                                                                                             Rachel: Hi Dr. Cabral, Can you give us a brief breakdown on if we should really be concerned about high cholesterol anymore if we don't have other contraindications? I know statins are a billion dollar industry & really don't have much efficacy. My mom is 72 & her bloodwork came back with LDL around 163. She is active, always doing yard work, has been lifting 3x a week for the last 2 years & eats a whole foods diet, high protein diet, barely anything processed. She sleeps great & feels good. Her only health concern is osteoporosis. I don't believe she should worry about this factor, but for years she has seen the headlines about high cholesterol so it's difficult to change her outlook. What would you say to her if she was your mom?                                                                                                                                                               Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral - Thank you for all that you and your amazing team do for our health community. You are my go-to and the one I trust with all my health questions. My question has to do with Botox and fillers that so many young and older women seem to have become so captivated by and are convinced this is how they retain a youthful look. I have never tried it and have no intention of doing so, but know so many who have and I'm concerned for them. Their facial features - eyes, cheekbones, lips, etc., just no longer look natural at all. I assume once they start this routine, they have to continue it to maintain the effects (even though they don't realize they are changing their looks). What are the chemicals in Botox and these fillers and what are the long term effects of them?           Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3424 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Episode 2659: Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss three different topics that are all promoting mixed messages about health, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/06/promoting-mixed-messages-episode-2659 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE -  Promoting Mixed Messages Chris discovered an article in VegNews: a vegan Italian cookbook. (5:00) They divert to a bit of Italian-American history, which has had its challenges. (6:00) Back to the VegNews article: They ponder how an Italian meal can be vegan. (12:15) Vinnie's family grew veggies, but all the Italian meals centered around meat. There was a keto trial—a small trial—but testing high cholesterol. (22:00) They discuss how many studies have been misrepresented by not including countries whose cultural diets contain a lot of meat. Blue Zones has been misrepresented as well. The diets vary, and the level of meat is far more than what tends to be represented. The one thing all the Blue Zone cultures have in common is an active outdoor lifestyle. (37:00) If you want to get rid of heart disease, you must get rid of processed foods. (38:00) Lean Mass Hyper Responders have a different starting point to consider. (40:00) High cholesterol (LDL) in and of itself is not necessarily a problem; you need to look at it in conjunction with other factors. (42:00) The ADA launched the American Obesity Association. Novo Nordisk has contributed funds to the ADA. Novo Nordisk is the company that brought us Wegovy. (51:00) GLP-1s are not a Magic Pill; if they were, they wouldn't have deadly side effects. (52:30) The ADA amended its guidelines to say that GLP-1s should be the “first line of defense” of correction for T2 diabetes, rather than lifestyle. (54:00) The ADA is disengenuous because it receives millions of dollars from Big Food corporations each year to *not* tell you to cut out sugar and processed foods. (55:00) The information the ADA gives cannot entirely be trusted because of the sources of funding it receives. Follow Vinnie on X @vinnietortorich.

In this episode, I'm challenging the fear-based narrative around high cholesterol and unpacking what your labs are really telling you. Spoiler: high cholesterol isn't a diagnosis—it's a data point that needs context.We dive into why dietary cholesterol (hello, eggs and beef) isn't the cause of clogged arteries, why inflammation and metabolic health matter way more, and how to read your cholesterol panel in a more informed and less fear-driven way.Here's what we cover:

In this episode, Medcan Chief Medical Officer Dr. Peter Nord sits down with Dr. Beth Abramson, Medcan's Director of Cardiology, to explore the latest innovations in cardiovascular screening. They discuss how two advanced assessments, ApoB and Lp(a), are transforming proactive heart health strategies, and how these tests are now part of Medcan's Annual Health Assessment. Plus, Dr. Abramson shares lifestyle tips every cardiologist wishes their patients would adopt. Highlights: Why Heart Health Matters: Heart disease is the second leading cause of death in Canada. 1 in 12 adults aged 20+ are living with diagnosed heart disease. Early detection through proactive screening is key to reducing long-term risk. What's New in Screening Tools: ApoB: A direct, precise blood biomarker that provides a better risk assessment than LDL cholesterol. Lp(a): A genetically determined lipoprotein that only needs to be measured once—and can identify cardiovascular risk even in otherwise healthy individuals. Both tests align with updated Canadian Cardiovascular Society guidelines, though they are not yet widely adopted across Canada. Medcan is leading the way in their implementation. How They Work: ApoB doesn't require fasting and is accurate even when LDL is low or triglycerides are high. Lp(a) is stable over time and can uncover hidden risks; early identification allows for better risk management and future intervention. New medications targeting Lp(a) are on the horizon, making this screening even more critical. Takeaways: Top Cardiologist-Recommended Lifestyle Tips for Heart Health: Prioritize regular physical activity Eat a diet rich in whole, unprocessed foods (vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean protein, healthy fats) Maintain a healthy blood pressure and cholesterol level Avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption These proactive steps, combined with Medcan's expanded screening tools, can help individuals manage their risk and promote long-term cardiovascular health.

In this episode of Vegan Boss Radio, I'm joined by Akash Patel (@_plantitude), an MD/MBA student at the University of Miami with a passion for nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and health systems transformation. He is particularly interested in how evidence-based, integrative approaches that combine conventional medicine with lifestyle interventions can improve patient outcomes and enhance chronic disease care. Akash runs an Instagram page where he breaks down nutrition research and combats misinformation in an accessible way. He is especially focused on the role of plant-forward diets, not only for their benefits to human health, but also for their positive impact on planetary sustainability and animal welfare — three interconnected issues where meaningful change can start with what's on our plates. Akash hopes to pursue a career in oncology while helping shape a healthcare system that facilitates prevention, empowers patients, and takes a comprehensive approach to supporting well-being. In this episode we discuss: Popular nutrition myths online, especially from the low-carb, keto, and carnivore communities Carbs aren't the enemy, and we don't need to fear them Persistent animal vs plant protein myths And a deep dive into the Keto CTA study — a controversial paper that attempted to downplay the risks of elevated LDL cholesterol from keto diets by failing to report its own primary outcome You can find Akash on Instagram: @_plantitude __________________________________________________________________ Need support with plant-based nutrition?

So, your cholesterol is high? The big question my guest today is asking is - does it even matter? Why this does matter so much is because Dave Feldman and his network of researchers are asking a fundamentally new question about cholesterol and lipids, and whether they are in fact energy adaptogens, responsible for trafficking energy under the right conditions around the body and not predictable of cardiovascular disease. Because if Oreos can lower your “bad” cholesterol as much as a statin, medicine may not actually understand “bad” cholesterol or even cholesterol overall.Dave Feldman, a senior software engineer and entrepreneur. Drawing on his engineering background, he recognized parallels between the lipid system and distributed objects in networks, prompting him to delve deeply into the subject through extensive research and personal experimentation. He is also the creator and producer of his new film The Cholesterol Code, coming up in the fall of 2025: https://cholesterolcodemovie.comJoin us as we explore:A completely contrary and potentially revolutionary lens for understanding cholesterol levels, lipids as an energy model and what actually drives cardiovascular disease.Why the “saturation hypothesis” is asking new questions about the relevance of apolipoprotein b.The lean mass hyper responder - who they are, how to identify them, what it is, why it matters and how Nick Norwitz used Oreos to lower his LDL better than pharmaceutical statins.The most important biometric data points aside from cholesterol that signals cardiovascular health risk.Contact: Website: https://cholesterolcode.comMention: Person - Nick Norwitz, @nicknorwitzPhD Study - Plaque Begets Plaque, ApoB Does Not: Longitudinal Data From the KETO-CTA Trial. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40192608/Study - Oreo cookies, Norwitz NG, Cromwell WC.

Story at-a-glance Cholesterol is essential for hormone production, brain function, and cell health, and about 80% of it is made by your body — not consumed in food. High triglycerides, not total cholesterol, pose a stronger risk for heart attack — raising risk by 80% — making triglyceride-to-HDL ratio a better heart disease predictor Newer science shows chronic inflammation — not LDL alone — may be the real cause of plaque buildup in arteries, shifting focus to markers like ApoB and CRP Natural options like garlic, artichoke, bergamot, plant sterols, green tea, and oats have been shown in clinical studies to lower LDL cholesterol and improve heart markers Red yeast rice can lower LDL by up to 33%, but it contains a statin-like compound with the same side effects and potential kidney toxins like citrinin Lifestyle changes like cutting sugar, walking daily, and sleeping well can activate the Pareto Principle — where 20% of effort yields 80% of results in lowering cholesterol. Exercise improves five key metabolic biomarkers — glucose, HDL, triglycerides, blood pressure, and waist size — each linked to long-term cardiovascular health

Last week, Chadi and researchers explored the KETO-CTA study, which investigated the effects of the ketogenic diet on coronary plaque formation in Lean Mass Hyper-Responders (LMHR), or individuals who experience significant LDL cholesterol elevations on low-carb diets. This week, the other side of the conversation is presented. A leading cardiologist joins the show to critically examine the KETO-CTA study findings, questioning their clinical significance and broader applicability. What do these results really mean for cardiovascular risk in the general population? Should elevated LDL in the context of good metabolic health be treated the same as traditional hyperlipidemia?

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:     Kellie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have been with your program for almost 6 months now. I have completed the Vit-Tox tests and have gone through the FM Detox twice and now going through the CBO Protocol. I just turned 38 years old and I feel like my joints are of an 80 year old. I have played soccer since age 5 and still play on a competitive coed league to this day. I have played many other team/contact sports in the past. I have had past ankle, knee, and hip injuries due to sports and I do see possible knee and hip replacements in my future. When I do my daily workouts or go up/down stairs my ankles, knees, hips, and back crack or pop so easily and so much. I don't see glucosamine chondroitin as a supplement in your shop. Are there any suggestions you may have to keep my joints healthier? Thank you!!              Jon: Hey Dr Cabral, looking for advice and i feel like there's a population that struggles with this same topic. My Dr is recommending a statin due to my high LDL-C of 230. My LDL has gone up after cleaning up my diet in the last 7 months however ALL of my markers tested for have improved. Triglycerides have gone from over 200 to 100, HDL is up to 60, VLDL has dropped from 30 to 15, A1C is 5.2, blood pressure is normal for the first time ever, and so onr. My personal opinion is that i'm healthier than ever and i can't imagine having to go on what seems like a lifetime drug due to one marker being off and i don't buy the story that LDL alone is a concern for me. Curious on your opinion here and if you think i have something to worry about. Thanks!!                                                                                                                            Annette: I've been diagnosed with nephrocalcinosis by conventional doctors who say the cause is genetic. I have adjusted my diet to low sodium, low oxalate foods. The doctors say my next step is to try to get on the kidney transplant list before I need dialysis. I take potassium citrate and a calcitriol. Is there anything I can do to improve my kidney function?                                                                                                  Summer: Hi Dr. Cabral! I heard you say that it's best to replace aluminum cookware, but not necessary, and instead to use parchment paper as a barrier. Doesn't the aluminum off gas when heated? How does parchment paper prevent the aluminum from getting into the food? Thanks! By the way, to all my fellow listeners: please contact your state representatives and let them know you do not consent to geo-engineering in your skies. Several states have now banned it. We could all live healthier lives if we could work toward eliminating toxins and heavy metals including aluminum that are regularly being sprayed into our air.                                                                                                                                                Ann: Thank you Dr Cabral- you are changing SO many lives - thank you for all of your wisdom and teachings:) I have a question about Magnesium. My cortisol was high at my last lab test, and I took Full Spectrum magnesium for 12 weeks, and now I take Cal Mag daily. I also understand that I can take Calming Magnesium and CBD at night to help with sleep.I don't want to take too much for too long for my body, but I still think I need the help for my cortisol levels/ sleep. What combination of the above do you recommend? Is there a length of time that is too long to be on Full Spectrum Magnesium? PS. I do the 3-2-1 protocol, take Adrenal Soothe and will be repeating my big 5 this fall.

You might not realize just how much your oral health is tied to your heart and overall wellness—but it's a connection worth knowing about. I caught up again with my amazing colleague, Dr. Ellie Campbell, and we got into why regular lab tests sometimes miss the early signs of things like heart disease, stroke, and even dementia. We talked about why your dentist could actually be one of the most important people on your health team, plus some sneaky risks that only advanced testing can catch. Dr. Ellie has been in family medicine for over 25 years, mixing integrative and functional approaches to help people truly understand their health. She shared some eye-opening stuff about how sleep apnea can mess with your blood sugar, why fasting blood sugar numbers matter more than you think, and how your genes could be playing a bigger role than you realize. She also gave some solid advice on how to speak up for yourself in a medical system that doesn't always connect these dots. If you're someone who wants to take better care of yourself and catch problems before they sneak up, this episode is packed with tips that really hit home. And by the way, just to sweeten things up—my new Mighty Maca Mango is out now, perfect for spring and summer.

Story at-a-glance According to research, consuming as little as 1 gram of bay leaves daily can lower fasting glucose by up to 26% and reduces LDL cholesterol by 40%, offering natural support for metabolic health Insulin sensitivity improves with regular bay leaf intake, as studies show it protects pancreatic beta cells and enhances the body's ability to regulate blood sugar Liver and kidney function benefit from bay leaf extract, which reduces inflammation, improves enzyme balance, and prevents diabetes-related organ damage Powerful antioxidants in bay leaves fight oxidative stress and inflammation, lowering the risk of metabolic dysfunction, heart disease, and complications linked to diabetes Try adding bay leaves to your meals, brewing them into tea, or using them in powdered form to provide an easy, natural way to regulate blood sugar and improve overall health

Story at-a-glance Nearly 40 million Americans take statins daily, yet these drugs don't fix the root cause of high cholesterol and often cause serious side effects like muscle pain and insulin resistance Dr. Adriana Quinones-Camacho, a cardiologist at NYU Langone Health, recommends lifestyle changes — like eating clean fats, exercising, and losing weight — as first-line treatments before resorting to risky cholesterol-lowering medications Eliminating processed seed oils and consuming whole-food omega-3s from fatty fish (in optimal amounts) will help improve your lipid profile and support natural cholesterol clearance through liver and cell function Excess weight raises low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels and leads to plaque buildup in arteries; reducing sugar, increasing fiber, and adding daily movement reverses this damage and promotes long-term cardiovascular health Statins are linked to diabetes, cataracts, muscle breakdown, and depleted CoQ10, making lifestyle changes not only safer but also more effective for lasting heart and metabolic health

Who in the world would try to lower their cholesterol by eating an entire sleeve of Oreos every day for a month? Meet Nick Norwitz, PhD, an Oxford graduate and Harvard medical student who did just that—in an effort to test a hypothesis about cholesterol and metabolic health. After reversing a serious inflammatory condition with a ketogenic diet, Nick saw his LDL cholesterol spike. Instead of panicking, he turned to research—and self-experimentation—to better understand what those numbers really meant. In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, we explore: • The health crisis that led Nick to a ketogenic diet • Why his LDL cholesterol jumped—and what questions it raised • The Oreo experiment and what it did (and didn't) reveal • The nuance around LDL, metabolic health, and cardiovascular risk • What the science—and Nick's own experience—suggests about meat, veganism, and finding a diet that works Check out the episode to hear this fascinating conversation.  View Show Notes From This EpisodeGet Free Weekly Health Tips from Dr. Hymanhttps://drhyman.com/pages/picks?utm_campaign=shownotes&utm_medium=banner&utm_source=podcastSign Up for Dr. Hyman's Weekly Longevity Journalhttps://drhyman.com/pages/longevity?utm_campaign=shownotes&utm_medium=banner&utm_source=podcast
