Did you know the very medication doctors push to "protect" your heart could be wrecking your brain, hormones, and mood? I've watched statins destroy lives, including my father's, and it's time to address the issues with the meds. I am joined by chiropractor Joel Boheimer, founder of the supplement line Regenerate, to break down why nattokinase is gaining popularity for heart health. Joel walks us through the research behind this fibrin-dissolving enzyme. He explains why cholesterol isn't the villain we've been told it is, and how the wrong form of calcium affects your arteries and joints. We also get into vitamin K2, ellagic acid, and why regenerative, whole-food sourcing changes everything about how a supplement performs in your body.  If you're worried about your heart or just tired of being handed a prescription instead of an explanation, this conversation will change how you think about your next cardiologist visit.   "Research shows that higher levels of cholesterol are protective to longevity, heart attack, strokes, and cancers." ~  Dr. Joel Bohemier   In This Episode: - What is nattokinase, and what are its benefits? - Why statins are dangerous - Statins linked to rise in dementia - Nattokinase use after 2020 jabs  - Regenerate's farming philosophy - The research behind Regenerate's supplements - An overview of CardioNK's ingredients  - Vitamin K2 and calcium placement  - Ellagic acid and urolithins - Bacillus subtilis and gut health benefits - Where to get CardioNK and recommended dosage   Products & Resources Mentioned: Regenerate's CardioNK: Get it at a special discount at: https://regeneratecompany.com/pages/myers?uid=2&oid=2&affid=9  Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off sitewide, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty, with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com/     Tru Energy Skincare Bio Adaptive Hydration Oil: Try the oil and save up to $197 at trytruenergy.com/wendy5 Organifi Collagen: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox  Heavy Metals Quiz: Take the quiz at https://heavymetalsquiz.com    About Dr. Joel Bohemier: Dr. Joel Bohemier is a second-generation chiropractor and founder of Regenerate, a supplement company built on a simple idea: the health of people and the health of the planet are connected.

Can you really reverse heart artery disease? In this episode, Dr. Robert Todd Hurst, MD, FACC, FASE, shares the remarkable story of a HealthspanMD member who thought he was doing everything right. Despite taking a statin, maintaining healthy blood pressure, staying active, and keeping his blood sugar under control, advanced imaging revealed he was still accumulating dangerous soft plaque in his coronary arteries. Dr. Hurst explains how plaque composition analysis works, why traditional cholesterol targets may not be enough for some people, and what happened when they implemented a more personalized strategy focused on achieving exceptional cardiovascular results. Today's guest is a HealthspanMD member with a strong family history of heart disease who was committed to protecting his heart health. After advanced CT angiography revealed significant soft plaque progression despite years of following conventional recommendations, he partnered with Dr. Robert Todd Hurst, MD, FACC, FASE, and the HealthspanMD team to take a more proactive, personalized approach. One year later, his results demonstrated what may be possible when root causes are identified and risk factors are optimized.

Oct-shield Vulnerable Plaque Identification And Stabilization Catheter System and SmartFlow Percutaneous Venous Valve

Human brain tissue contains far higher concentrations of microplastics than liver or kidney tissue, and researchers found the burden increased sharply between 2016 and 2024 Researchers discovered that patients with microplastics embedded inside carotid artery plaque faced a 4.53-fold higher risk of heart attack, stroke, or death compared to patients without detectable plastics in plaque Studies found plastic particles inside blood clots and diseased artery walls, while animal experiments showed nanosized plastics disrupting blood flow and worsening brain injury after stroke Ultraprocessed foods, bottled beverages, plastic packaging, contaminated water, and airborne particles expose your body to microplastics daily, allowing the burden to build gradually inside tissues and blood vessels Reducing ultraprocessed foods, avoiding heated plastic containers, filtering drinking water, and improving metabolic and vascular health help lower ongoing exposure and support your body's defenses against chronic inflammatory damage

In this episode, Dr. Jockers breaks down the "one meal" strategy designed to support arterial health and help reduce plaque buildup through targeted nutrition. You'll learn how arterial plaque is actually scar tissue formed from inflammation and damage inside the blood vessels. And how this meal approach is designed to support blood pressure and cardiovascular function.   You'll discover why omega-3 rich foods like wild-caught salmon and pasture-raised eggs play a key role in reducing inflammation and supporting endothelial repair. You'll also hear how arugula, olive oil, tomatoes, cucumbers, and citrus work together to boost nitric oxide production and improve blood flow. And how these foods collectively help calm oxidative stress in the arteries.   You'll also learn how a simple dessert of Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt with collagen peptides, berries, and pomegranate supports blood sugar stability and vascular healing. You'll understand why compounds like anthocyanins and ellagic acid are important for reducing oxidative damage. And how this full meal framework supports long-term cardiovascular resilience and energy.   In This Episode:  00:00 Nitric Oxide Teaser 00:14 Episode Intro and Promise 00:35 Reviews and Coaching Plug 03:53 Why Plaque Matters 05:41 Omega 3 Protein Base 07:33 Eggs and Cholesterol Myth 11:24 Arugula Salad Blueprint 13:55 Dessert Yogurt Collagen 15:04 Berries and Pomegranate Boost 16:44 Wrap Up and Next Steps   Discover clinically inspired, clean skincare trusted by over 60,000 women and featured in outlets like Elle and Cosmopolitan.

A newly published study called NATURE-CT is generating significant attention in the cardiovascular and ketogenic communities, but some of the conclusions being drawn online don't hold up to scientific scrutiny. Dr. Bret Scher walks through what the study actually shows, what it doesn't, and why comparisons being made to ketogenic therapy are scientifically misleading.In this discussion, you'll learn:What the NATURE-CT study examined and what its findings mean for coronary plaque progressionWhy the average LDL of 111 mg/dL still showed substantial plaque progressionWhat this data may suggest about looking beyond LDL as the sole driver of coronary diseaseWhy comparisons being made between NATURE-CT and KETO-CTA are scientifically flawedWhy the original KETO-CTA manuscript was retracted and what that means for current claimsHow baseline coronary artery calcium scores influence valid scientific comparisonsWhy findings in lean mass hyper-responders cannot be extrapolated to all forms of ketogenic therapyHow metabolic health, not just LDL, may be a critical factor in understanding cardiovascular riskThis conversation underscores the importance of evaluating studies on their actual design and findings, rather than the conclusions being layered on top of them. For clinicians, researchers, and anyone navigating the cardiovascular and ketogenic conversation, the precision of the science matters.

The person often felt completely fine. And then a life-changing event. It's not a slow clog. It's a rupture. Soft, inflamed plaque buried in the artery wall ruptures, platelets rush in, a clot forms in seconds, and that clot is what actually triggers the heart attack. The real villains are inflammation, unstable plaque, and clotting. Not your cholesterol number. That's also why the aspirin debate got so confusing. Aspirin works by making platelets less sticky, blunting that first step of clot formation. For someone with documented plaque or a previous heart attack or stroke, the evidence is strong: aspirin cuts the risk of a second event by around 19 to 20%. But for someone at genuinely low cardiovascular risk who has never had an event, the bleeding risk may quietly outweigh any benefit. Same pill, different person, opposite outcome. The key test most people have never gotten: your coronary calcium score. In this episode, I share exactly what I would do the day I found plaque in my arteries, including seven metabolic steps that address the root cause instead of just managing the risk. Key Takeaways: 70% of heart attacks happen in arteries less than 50% blocked. It's a rupture and clot, not a slow clog. Aspirin helps people at high cardiovascular risk (secondary prevention), but may do more harm than good for low-risk individuals Your coronary calcium score is the most important test most people have never taken Chronically high insulin is, according to heart surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia (5,000+ open heart surgeries), the number one contributor to artery damage The PREDIMED trial found extra virgin olive oil was tied to a 30% lower risk of major cardiovascular events Aspirin manages the consequence of plaque. These seven lifestyle steps remove the cause. Every meal either supports your arteries or works against them. There is no neutral.

Pathophysiology/etiology Carotid artery disease is primarily driven by atherosclerotic plaque deposition.  Risk factors: hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, smoking, and advanced age. Nonatherosclerotic etiologies: fibromuscular dysplasia, carotid dissection, vasculitic disease, carotid webs, and trauma. When the endothelium is damaged, monocytes migrate to the site and differentiate into macrophages that take up oxidized LDL particles to become foam cells. Meanwhile, an inflammatory response occurs where activated platelets release thromboxane A2, platelet derived growth factor, and inflammatory cytokines that promote further platelet aggregation and vascular inflammation. Smooth muscle cells migrate and proliferate, forming the structural framework of the atheroma.  Within the lesion, necrotic debris and lipid accumulate, creating a vulnerable plaque. Plaque rupture exposes this material to the bloodstream, serving as a nidus for thrombus formation which can lead to ischemic events. Carotid bifurcation is particularly prone to plaque formation due to turbulent blood flow. Embolization of plaque from this area can result in TIA or ischemic stroke.  2. Presentation Patients are often asymptomatic and stenosis is incidentally found on imaging.  Symptomatic patients present with neurologic symptoms including unilateral motor and sensory loss, aphasia (difficulty finding words), dysarthria (difficulty speaking), amaurosis fugax (temporary monocular vision loss due to embolus to the ophthalmic artery), transient ischemic attacks Physical exam findings may be notable for auscultation of a carotid bruit. Patients may also have evidence of retinal artery embolization on fundoscopic examination (Hollenhorst plaque) or asymptomatic cerebral infarction.  3. Diagnosis USPTF recommends against screening for asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis.  In patients with no risk factors, SVS recommends against screening for asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis. However, they do recommend screening for asymptomatic clinically significant carotid bifurcation in certain groups of patients with multiple risk factors.  These risk factors include patients with clinically significant peripheral vascular disease, patients 65 and older with history of CAD, smoking, hypercholesterolemia, and patients prior to coronary artery bypass.  Relevant findings on physical exam or imaging findings may warrant screening, but screening is not recommended for the presence of neck bruit alone without other risk factors, as this finding has a low sensitivity and specificity for detecting clinically significant carotid artery stenosis.  Carotid duplex ultrasound: first-line imaging modality for both screening and initial evaluation of stenosis, noninvasive, low-cost CTA: rapid, high-resolution, three-dimensional imaging of vascular anatomy, risk of contrast and radiation exposure MRA: high-quality, three-dimensional imaging without radiation or contrast, expensive with longer acquisition time, can overestimate stenosis in severe disease DSA/angiography: gold standard, expensive, invasive, not generally recommended for routine diagnostic evaluation or screening 4. Classification Carotid artery stenosis is classified by degree of luminal narrowing. NASCET method: standard in current practice. Compares the minimal residual lumen at the point of greatest stenosis to the diameter of the normal distal internal carotid artery.  Classification of stenosis: Mild: 70 bpm, and ACT >250 seconds to optimize cerebral perfusion and minimize thrombotic risk. Clamp the carotid artery just proximal to the arterial sheath to establish active flow reversal.  Flow controller settings: Low setting High setting Flow-stop button: allows for temporary cessation of flow (used when we inject contrast).  Confirm flow reversal via two different ways:  The first way is to stop flow to the venous return sheath with the stopcock, clearing the line with hep saline injection, and then opening the stopcock and seeing the blood returning to the controller in a reverse fashion. The second way is to perform an angiogram with a small amount of contrast injection while holding the flow-stop button. Using the angio we want to make sure that contrast is flowing retrograde in the cervical ICA thereby confirming flow reversal.    Carotid artery stenting, balloon angioplasty, and completion angiogram At this point, a standard carotid angioplasty and stenting procedure is performed. ENROUTE transcarotid Neuroprotection System device:  inner diameter of 8F and an outer diameter of 10F Has its own carotid artery stent system but is also compatible with all FDA-approved carotid stents.  Final angiogram is performed to confirm stent position, vessel patency, and absence of complications including vasospasm at the distal end of the stent and filling defects from protrusion of atheromatous material through the stent    Cessation of flow reversal and sheath removal Allow the flow reversal to run for a few minutes after the final balloon angioplasty to clear any debris.  Antegrade flow is restored by releasing the carotid clamp and closing the stopcocks on the neuroprotection system.  The patient is auto-transfused the blood from the flow line back to the venous system.  As the arterial access system is removed and the puncture site is closed with the U-stitch.  IV protamine is administered to reverse the heparin. Standard closure is performed at the incision site. Meanwhile, hemostasis is achieved after removal of the femoral vein sheath with brief manual compression.  Postop care/complications Postop care All patients after a TCAR should be monitored in the ICU setting for 24 hours, as an embolic stroke, hypotension with or without bradycardia, or hypertension can occur.  Should a TIA or stroke be observed, a carotid duplex scan and CT angiogram should be immediately obtained to assess the stent site and the presence of an embolic or thrombotic filling defect, dissection, or occlusion.  Dual antiplatelet therapy: continue for 45 days to 12 months Aspirin and statin therapy: continued indefinitely Surveillance duplex imaging: 4 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months, and annually thereafter. Postop complications Hematoma Stroke Myocardial infarction Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome Sudden and excessive increase in cerebral blood flow to previously hypoperfused brain tissue is met with vasculature that cannot constrict appropriately from chronic vasodilation Leads to breakthrough hyperperfusion. This results in cerebral edema, intracerebral hemorrhage, and neurological symptoms.  Cranial nerve injury Hypoglossal nerve (CN XII) injury: ipsilateral tongue deviation. It is the most commonly injured cranial nerve.  Vagus nerve (CN X) injury: hoarseness and possible vocal cord paralysis.  Glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) injury: soft palate dysfunction.  Recurrent laryngeal nerve injury: voice hoarseness and inability to cough as it innervates all of the voice box muscles except for the cricothyroid muscle Marginal mandibular nerve injury: ipsilateral lip droop, injury is rare in TCAR.  Stent restenosis Pseudoaneurysm Access site infection

Microplastics and Stroke Risk: What a Landmark 2024 Study Found Inside Human Arteries In 2024, a team of Italian researchers published a study in the New England Journal of Medicine that stopped the cardiovascular science community in its tracks. They found microplastics, tiny synthetic fragments embedded inside the carotid artery plaque of more than half the patients they examined. And the patients who had them faced more than four and a half times the risk of a serious cardiovascular event compared to those who didn’t. This isn’t a distant, theoretical risk. These are living people who had already been identified as having carotid artery disease, and plastics were found inside their arterial walls. For stroke survivors and those at elevated risk of stroke, this study raises important questions that the medical system has not yet caught up with. What the Research Found The study by Marfella et al., published in the New England Journal of Medicine (2024), enrolled 304 patients who were undergoing carotid endarterectomy, a surgical procedure to remove plaque from the carotid arteries. Researchers analysed the excised plaque for the presence of microplastics and nanoplastics. Their findings: 58% of patients had detectable levels of polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or polystyrene in their arterial plaque. This was not contamination from the surgical procedure; it was already there. Over a 34-month follow-up period, patients with microplastics in their plaque had a 4.53 times higher risk of a combined endpoint: non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, or death from any cause. Inflammatory markers were significantly elevated in the microplastics-positive group. IL-18 and TNF-alpha proteins associated with systemic vascular inflammation were markedly higher in plaque samples that contained plastics. This suggests the mechanism is not simply physical obstruction, but an inflammatory cascade triggered by the presence of synthetic material in arterial tissue. What This Means for Stroke Survivors The carotid arteries are the primary conduits supplying oxygenated blood to the brain. Plaque accumulation in these vessels is one of the leading causes of ischaemic stroke, and carotid artery disease is a condition many stroke survivors are already living with. “The patients with microplastics in their plaque had a 4.53 times higher risk of stroke, heart attack, or death over the 34-month follow-up. That’s not a marginal finding. That’s a signal the research community needed to take seriously.” The NEJM study doesn’t yet tell us whether removing microplastic exposure after the fact reduces risk. It doesn’t confirm that healthy individuals with no existing carotid disease are accumulating plastics at the same rate. And it cannot tell us which plastic sources are most responsible because we’re exposed to microplastics through drinking water, food packaging, air, and a dozen other vectors simultaneously. But what it does tell us clearly and with high statistical significance is that microplastics in arterial plaque are associated with dramatically worse cardiovascular outcomes. What the Research Does Not Yet Tell Us Science at the frontier moves in one direction at a time. This study establishes association, not causation. It cannot yet answer: Whether people without existing carotid disease are accumulating microplastics at comparable rates. Whether reducing exposure actively reverses or slows plaque-associated risk. Which types of microplastics are most biologically harmful? Whether there will be a clinical screening tool for this in the near future. These are the questions the next generation of research will need to answer. In the meantime, it’s reasonable to act on what we do know. Practical Steps to Reduce Exposure No clinical screening currently exists for microplastics in arterial plaque. There is no blood test, no imaging, no biomarker that your GP can order today. What you can do is reduce your ongoing exposure, particularly through food and water contact with plastics. Evidence-informed steps worth discussing with your treating team: Use glass, stainless steel, or ceramic containers rather than plastic for food and drink storage. Avoid microwaving food in plastic containers; heat accelerates the leaching of plastic particles. Filter your drinking water; some filters (carbon block and reverse osmosis) reduce microplastic levels significantly. Reduce consumption of highly processed foods in plastic packaging. Bring this study to your vascular neurologist, cardiologist, or GP and ask whether it’s relevant to your personal risk profile. This is not a recommendation to take a supplement or start a treatment. It’s an invitation to have an informed conversation with the people responsible for your care using the best available evidence.

Lower triglycerides, lower remnant cholesterol, lower ApoB. Zero change in coronary artery plaque. A new clinical trial is forcing a bigger conversation about how we treat cardiovascular disease.The drug was Olezarsen, an APOC3 inhibitor. The blood work looked impressive. The heart scans did not. So why would lowering well-established cardiovascular risk factors fail to move the needle on plaque? Dr. Bret Scher argues there's a critical difference between what we want to fix and how we go about fixing it. Lowering a number with a drug is not the same as addressing the underlying metabolic dysfunction that caused that number to be high in the first place.In this video, you'll learn:What the Olezarsen trial actually showed and why the results matterWhy elevated triglycerides often signal deeper metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistanceHow this same drug-first thinking plays out in type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and weight managementWhy narrowing our focus to "fix the number" can keep us from healing the whole systemHow metabolic medicine reframes the conversation around root causesThis isn't an argument against medication. Responsible drug use has an important place in patient care. But the best outcomes come when we ask why a number is abnormal in the first place and what combination of lifestyle changes and targeted treatments will actually address it.

In this AJNR Article Summary, Dr. Francis Deng reviews CTA-based Carotid Plaque-RADS and its role beyond stenosis grading. He explains the key imaging features that define plaque vulnerability, then highlights two AJNR studies showing that the system is learnable, reproducible, and clinically meaningful for predicting future stroke risk, especially in patients with only mild or moderate carotid stenosis.

CardioNerds Dr. Joseph Kassab, Dr. Mariana Garcia-Arango, and Dr. Christopher Mason explore the technological revolution of Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA) with expert faculty Dr. Michael Gallagher. The discussion details how CCTA has evolved into a frontline diagnostic and preventive tool, moving beyond simple anatomy to incorporate physiology via CT-FFR and biology through AI-driven plaque quantification. The episode reviews landmark evidence like the SCOT-HEART and PROMISE trials, the nuances of CAD-RADS 2.0 reporting, and the emerging role of AI in monitoring treatment response and personalizing cardiovascular care. Critically, they also discuss some of the assumptions and limitations of these techniques. Stay tuned for a matching review article to be submitted to US Cardiology Review, the official Journal of CardioNerds.

CardioNerds Multimodality Cardiovascular Imaging PageCardioNerds Episode PageCardioNerds AcademyCardionerds Healy Honor Roll Pearls Shift in Paradigm: CCTA is no longer just an anatomic test; with some key limitations, it can provide anatomy, physiology (CT-FFR), and plaque biology (AI-CPA) in a single non-invasive scan. The “Power of Zero” vs. Plaque: While a normal CCTA has a >95% negative predictive value, future MIs often arise from non-obstructive plaque that traditional stress tests might miss. CAD-RADS 2.0 Utility: The addition of plaque burden modifiers (P1–P4) is a “game changer,” allowing clinicians to identify high-risk patients who need aggressive lipid-lowering despite having only mild stenosis. CT-FFR as a Virtual Stress Test: CT-FFR uses computational fluid dynamics to simulate blood flow, potentially reducing unnecessary invasive catheterizations by approximately 61% without sacrificing safety. Seeing the Invisible: AI-based quantitative plaque analysis (QCPA) can identify “subvisual” plaque and low-attenuation (lipid-rich) components that are the primary drivers of acute coronary syndromes. Show Notes How has the role of CCTA changed compared to traditional functional testing? Historically, stress testing answered “is there ischemia today?”, which often reflects late-stage disease. CCTA identifies disease across the entire spectrum, asking “is there atherosclerosis and how much plaque is present?”. Landmark evidence: SCOT-HEART showed a 41% relative risk reduction in MI at 5 years attributed to intensified preventive therapies, and PROMISE showed CCTA was better at selecting patients who truly needed invasive angiography. Diagnostic CCTA imaging depends on the protocol, contrast timing, heart rate, heart rhythm, breathholding, scanner quality, and several patient factors (obesity, prior stents, heavy calcification, complex bypass anatomy, and motion artifact all may limit imaging). “CCTA is exceptional for the right patient, with the right scanner, and the right team.” What are the key modifiers introduced in CAD-RADS 2.0, and why do they matter? CAD-RADS 2.0 moved beyond stenosis severity to include plaque burden (P0 to P4), high-risk plaque (HRP) features, and the presence of ischemia based on CT-FFR. It serves as a clinical decision support tool: a patient with mild (25-49%) stenosis but “extensive” (P4) plaque burden is considered high risk and warrants aggressive risk factor modification. How is CT-FFR calculated, and when is it most useful in clinical practice? CT-FFR uses resting CCTA data and computational fluid dynamics to create a 3D model of coronary flow during simulated maximal hyperemia. It is often used for intermediate lesions (40–90% stenosis) to predict if they are  ischemia-producing, guiding the decision whether to proceed with invasive angiography.  The assumptions necessary for this computational modeling may not apply well to patients with microvascular dysfunction, significant myocardial scar or prior infarction, or ventricular hypertrophy. Still, data indicate that CT-FFR performs similarly to PET in predicting hemodynamically significant lesions.  CT-FFR performs well at the extremes (either clearly normal or clearly abnormal). Accuracy dips, however, in the intermediate range (~0.75-0.80), where decision-making is most critical. In this grey zone, additional factors can help guide the approach, including the amount of myocardium supplied, translesional gradient, and plaque features.   CT-FFR has not been validated in distal segments, stented segments, heavily calcified coronary arteries, or in patients with severe aortic stenosis. Caution with CT-FFR should be utilized in very calcified coronary segments.  What is AI-based quantitative plaque analysis (QCPA), and what metrics are ready for clinical use? This is potentially a paradigm shift, moving away from stenosis-centric thinking to a more disease burden and plaque biology focus. QCPA uses deep learning algorithms to automatically segment the vessel wall and quantify plaque volume in mm³. Ready for “prime time” metrics include: Total Plaque Volume (TPV), non-calcified plaque volume, and Low-Attenuation Plaque (LAP) burden. Can serial CCTA be used to monitor the effectiveness of medical therapies like statins? While not yet a routine guideline-driven practice, trials like PARADIGM and EVAPORATE show that therapies can stabilize plaque; notably, CCTA is better for monitoring than CAC scores, which can be misleading as statins often increase plaque calcification as part of the stabilization process. There are no randomized trials that serial CCTAs improve outcomes. Cost and radiation exposure will be notable limitations. Serial scan timing, scan acquisition and interpretation standardization would be key. Dr. Gallagher notes that we are moving toward a world in which plaque burden may become a “treatment biomarker,” similar to tumor burden in oncology.  References 1.

Nick Norwitz has an MD, a PhD, and a cholesterol level that should have killed him — at least according to the standard model of cardiovascular disease. For seven years, his total cholesterol held above 700. His LDL sat in the high 500s. Every clinical algorithm flagged him as a cardiac emergency. He took none of the prescribed medications.His just-published case report shows zero coronary plaque. Not reduced. Not minimal. Zero.This episode isn't a victory lap. It's a serious conversation about what that result means — for how medicine measures risk, how it handles outliers, and why the incentive structures that shape clinical decisions may be more dangerous than any single cholesterol number. Dr. Philip Ovadia and Nick Norwitz also go deep on a fraudulent case report published in Circulation, why statins suppress GLP-1 levels and almost no cardiologist knows it, and what happens when the patient who refuses to follow the algorithm turns out to be right.#metabolichealth #cholesterol #ketodiet #heartdisease #LDLcholesterol #evidencebasedmedicine #lowcarb #preventivecardiologyBIG IDEAA patient with seven years of astronomically high cholesterol and zero coronary plaque is not an outlier to dismiss — he is a question medicine is obligated to answer.Nick Norwitz Contact InfoNewsletter: staycuriousmetabolism.com (Top 2 Best-Selling in Science, Globally)YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nicknorwitzMDPhD (>1M Subscribers)Twitter: https://x.com/nicknorwitzInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicknorwitz/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicknorwitz/Threads: https://www.threads.net/@nicknorwitzFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicknorwitzNick's Case Report:Seven Years of 700 Cholesterol Without CoronaryAtherosclerosis: A Lean Mass Hyper-Responder Case ReportSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

Wrestling legend Kevin Nash and co-host Sean Oliver return for another installment of Kliq This, where the conversation flows as freely as the wine they frequently discuss. In episode 197, titled "Clarity," the duo leans into their "conversational" classification, moving far beyond the squared circle to tackle everything from awkward FBI encounters at dinner to the polarizing culture of modern tipping. Nash provides a rare glimpse into his personal life, sharing recent health updates and detailing his surprisingly athletic "strongman" approach to household chores during his downtime. The episode takes a sharp turn into the world of professional sports and international intrigue, offering a blend of gritty realism and high-level analysis.

Description: Learn why advocating for care is crucial when moderate to severe plaque psoriasis develops at a young age or in high-impact sites, and how advanced biologic therapies can offer effective solutions for those that may be undertreated. Join moderator Kaitlin Walden, patient advocate Carolyn, and dermatologist Dr Candrice Heath as they discuss the realities of living with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis at a young age, as well as adult patients with plaque psoriasis in high-impact sites, like the scalp, nails, and face. Carolyn shares her personal journey with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis and how it has continued from childhood into adulthood, while Dr Heath offers insights to help caregivers and patients navigate treatment approaches, including when and how a biologic therapy may be helpful. This episode addresses challenges associated with living and treating moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in children and adults. This episode is sponsored by Johnson & Johnson.

Such treatment options are continuing to expand. Guest Bios: Candrice Heath, M.D. is a highly respected triple board-certified dermatologist who sees both children and adults at Howard University Hospital in Washington DC where she is also an Associate Professor in the Department of Dermatology. She is board-certified in dermatology, pediatrics, and pediatric dermatology.  Dr Heath is a nationally recognized speaker, pediatric and adult dermatology clinical researcher, and has held a variety of leadership roles including Chair for the Pediatric Dermatology Research Alliance (PeDRA), Skin of Color and Pigmentary Disorders Focused Group, Skin of Color Society National Secretary-Treasurer, and American Academy of Dermatology Diversity Committee member.

Carolyn was diagnosed with psoriasis at age 11 after being misdiagnosed and offered treatments that didn't work. Once she was diagnosed with plaque psoriasis some of the initial treatments were difficult and unsustainable. Over the years she has learned to advocate for her own self-care and feels her personal experiences can help empower other adults and parents.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. William Levine, a board-certified periodontist and chief scientist at Peri Active Oral Rinse.

Oral Health, Inflammation, and Periodontal Disease: Dr. William Levine, a board-certified periodontist and chief scientist at Peri Active Oral Rinse, offers a deep-dive on periodontal disease as an infectious inflammatory condition with autoimmune-like tissue destruction. It affects over 50% of U.S. adults over 35 and rises with age. He details bidirectional links between gum disease and systemic conditions, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, and some dementias, and notes signs such as bleeding, pain, swelling, loose or shifting teeth, and gum recession. Levine explains plaque, dysbiosis, and biofilms, emphasizing mechanical plaque removal to preserve a healthy oral microbiome. Standard care includes scaling and root planing, possible surgery, and lasers; antiseptic rinses like chlorhexidine can be harsh and limited against biofilms. Levine describes a plant-bioactive rinse (gotu kola, echinacea, elderberry) designed to reduce harmful bacteria, penetrate gums, lower inflammation, and promote repair; xylitol may help via saliva stimulation. He also addresses smoking, dry mouth, fluoride toothpaste, interdental cleaning, and osteoporotic drugs' dental risks.

This week, Madison's Office of the Independent Police Monitor released a new annual report detailing staffing issues in its office and calling for officers to wear body cameras. However, after some scrutiny about AI use, the report was taken down for further review. Host Bianca Martin talks with executive producer Hayley Sperling and newsletter editor Rob Thomas about the story. They also talk about the 27 animal activists who were arrested after breaking into Ridglan Farms and the removal of a marker on an Indigenous burial mound.

Episode 3308: Dr. Neal Malik explains why atherosclerosis can persist even with statins, diet, and lifestyle changes, highlighting the role of genetics, particularly elevated lipoprotein(a), in stubborn plaque buildup. His guidance emphasizes practical strategies like targeted fat choices, fiber intake, and realistic exercise plans to help reduce risk and prevent further progression. Quotes to ponder: "The trouble is, once this plaque, or atherosclerosis, sets in, it's not reversible through lifestyle alone." "It's estimated that about 1 in 5 Americans have high levels of lipoprotein-a." "Fiber is so helpful because it binds to cholesterol and helps the body get rid of it."

Full Show Notes: bengreenfieldlife.com/497 Welcome to another solo episode. This week I kick things off sharing my most effective hair health strategies, from nutrition and hormones to unique tools like derma rolling, red light therapy, and even topical caffeine—plus, why genetics aren’t your whole hair story. I break down a fascinating new study showing how magnesium holds the key to actually making your vitamin D work for you. I reveal why the length and intensity of your walking sessions matter more than you think, and how longer walking bouts can trump simply chasing that 10,000-step goal. I also revisit a forgotten but powerful heart-protective hack—adding pomegranate juice to your routine to help reduce arterial plaque and lower your blood pressure. To top it off, I share my wildest recent experiment: getting infusions of young human plasma in the name of anti-aging, breaking down the science of why it works and what I noticed firsthand.
