Podcasts about reversing heart disease

In this enlightening episode of Research Renaissance, host Deborah Westphal sits down with Dr. Dean Ornish, founder of the Preventative Medicine Research Institute and a pioneer in lifestyle medicine. Dr. Ornish shares groundbreaking research on how lifestyle changes—including diet, exercise, stress management, and social connection—can not only prevent but even reverse chronic diseases, including early-stage Alzheimer's disease.With nearly five decades of research, Dr. Ornish discusses how a whole-food, plant-based diet, moderate exercise, mindfulness practices, and social support can lead to remarkable improvements in cognition, heart disease, cancer, and even gene expression. This episode dives deep into the science behind these findings, the pushback from traditional medicine, and the potential for insurance coverage of preventive healthcare.Join us for a conversation that challenges conventional medical thinking and offers hope and empowerment for those at risk of cognitive decline and other chronic conditions.Key Topics Discussed:✔️ What is Lifestyle Medicine? – How simple lifestyle changes can be more effective than high-tech, expensive treatments.✔️ Reversing Heart Disease & Alzheimer's – The research-backed approach to stopping and even reversing disease progression.✔️ The Science of Longevity – How lifestyle changes can lengthen telomeres and improve overall health at a cellular level.✔️ Pushback from Traditional Medicine – Why it took decades for these ideas to gain traction in the medical community.✔️ Medicare & Insurance Coverage – How lifestyle medicine is becoming more accessible through insurance programs.✔️ The Role of Social Connection – Why love and support are just as crucial as diet and exercise in health and longevity.✔️ Technology, Stress & Aging – The impact of digital overload and how mindfulness practices can counteract modern stressors.Quotable Moments:

It's Valentine's Day, so let's talk about matters of the heart—literally. Dr. Stephen Hussey, a chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner, suffered a heart attack despite living a seemingly healthy lifestyle. Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes as a child, he found himself failed by the traditional medical system in his highest-stakes moment. But instead of accepting his fate, he completely reversed his own heart disease. Now, he's on a mission to share what he learned. In this episode, Dr. Hussey dives into the surprising evolutionary origins of heart disease, debunks myths about cholesterol, and reveals how light and environmental health strategies transformed his life. If you thought you knew everything about heart health—think again.Thank you to our sponsors!

I believe this is the most important podcast episode ever done in history! Big words for sure...now let me back them up Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn is a world renowned cardiologist who was a surgeon at the famed Cleveland Clinic, the top Heart Hospital in the world.  He is the author of the best selling book Prevent & Reverse Heart Disease and was also prominently featured in the groundbreaking documentary Forks Over Knives.  His pioneering work with Coronary Artery Disease has saved countless lives. We explore: Who has heart disease? What percentage of people? Why in his 9th decade of life does Dr. Esselstyn continue to talk about eradicating or slowing the progression of heart disease. What's is the mission that's still driving him. When he speaks of Preventing and Reversing Heart Disease is he primarily speaking about Coronary Artery Disease or all Heart Disease? The internet is filled with Drs & others promoting Keto and low Carb Diets and they swear by their research. How do we explain the claimed successes of those diets...or are they really successful? Why are ALL oils bad, especially for those with coronary artery disease?  Are there any oils that are good for those that don't have heart disease? Should everyone have a Calcium Score and when should they be alarmed? How important is it to lower LDL and raise HDL? What does he think of Statins? Why should there never be a reason to develop heart disease. At what point should someone have an angiogram and stents placed or bypass surgery? How does someone track their progress after a positive stress test and starting a Whole Food plant -based diet Why a Whole Food Plant Based Diet is Different than a Vegan diet Why do leafy greens eaten 6x a day help to mitigate or reverse further coronary artery disease? Which are the best greens to eat? Which are the next best foods after greens? How about Nightshades? Good or Bad? Can this diet prevent event the most serious heart blockages and circumvent even a quadruple bypass? How much fat is recommended for those with coronary artery disease and how much of that in saturated fat?  Is all saturated fat equal? What three Whole Foods are bad for Coronary Artery Disease patients?  How about sweeteners?

AL SCHMIDT IS ENJOYING LIFE AT 88!!! AL'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@UCqQWuVxkkL-XAKFQmMYazCQ At the age of 80, six years ago, I was practically a full-time cardiac patient, on death's door. I had already suffered decades of cardiac events: three heart attacks, five-vessel bypass surgery, and the implantation of three stents. Due to my severe angina, I could not climb stairs, and could not walk to my neighbor's house without severe and frightening chest pains. I could not take the trash out. I installed in my house as I could not climb stairs. My existence was limited to sitting in front of the computer or the TV—and I hate TV. I had become depressed. I kept a daily diary of my medical events, and the most overused word in the diary was “pain.” I knew that he had reached End Stage Heart Failure. In my diary, he made a note to look into receiving End of Life Counseling. “Grasping at straws,” I signed up for a cardiac rehab program at Kaiser. I could barely walk to the meeting room. A dietitian made a presentation advocating the plant-based diet. I had nothing to lose, so I decided to try it. They advised me to read three books: Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, by Caldwell B. Esselstyn, MD, How Not to Die, by Michael Greger, MD, and The China Study, by T. Colin Campbell, PhD, and Thomas M. Campbell II, MD. I read all three books and they changed my life, or rather saved it. After four weeks on a whole food, plant-based diet, I went to Lake Tahoe and walked for over a mile, at an elevation of 6,000 feet. I then climbed two flights of stairs to return to my car, without effort. Once back home, I began to resume my long-forsaken habit of walking over a mile and a half. My serum cholesterol fell from 250 to 149 in two months. It is now 115. In the same time, he lost 30 pounds, going from 180 to 150. (He's 5'11”.) Again after 6 years it is now 135. My kidney function went from 40% to normal. The dark blue skin on my ankles, caused by the pooling of blood under the skin due to chronic venous insufficiency (the blood failing to flow upward as it should) disappeared in less than a year. His angina pains went away. So did the dizziness, weakness, disorientation, and recurrent falling. After all of these improvements, I returned to see his cardiologist. In fact, instead of taking the elevator, I walked up four flights of stairs to see her. When she saw how improved I was, she asked if he would be willing to share his story, and arranged for me to speak before 100 medical professionals! Today, I am enjoying life, enjoying food, and feel full of energy. I am never tempted to stray back to the way I used to eat. Why would I? I had no energy, could not do anything, and was afraid of dying.
