Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 1-29-2026: An emailer asks about hemorrhoids affecting 2 relatives,a 60-year-old man and his 20-year-old daughter, with the daughter also experiencing constipation worsened by fiber supplements. Dr. Dawn explains hemorrhoids are essentially varicose veins of the anus, with 102 genetic regions identified affecting blood vessel and smooth muscle strength. She emphasizes that fiber supplements without adequate water create "cement in the pipe"—recommending 16-24 ounces of water with supplements and 2 liters of clear water daily. Miralax also requires sufficient hydration to work. Key strategies include exercise to stimulate gut motility, staying off the toilet if unable to produce results, using a standing desk to reduce prolonged sitting pressure, and triggering the gastrocolic reflex by eating. Dr. Dawn discusses research on the "volatilome"—volatile organic compounds in breath that reflect gut microbiome composition. Researchers using sterile mice colonized with specific bacteria could identify bacterial fingerprints through breath analysis. The technique identified disease-associated compounds for tuberculosis and malaria, and correlated specific gut bacteria with asthma severity in children. The research suggests breath testing could eventually replace stool samples for microbiome assessment and disease screening. She explains detoxification biochemistry, distinguishing between water-soluble toxins easily filtered by kidneys and fat-soluble toxins requiring liver transformation. Phase one converts fat-soluble molecules into reactive intermediates—dangerous if they linger—while phase two attaches water-soluble molecules like glutathione to neutralize them for excretion. Supporting phase two requires green tea, cruciferous vegetables, garlic, and curcumin. She cautions against extended fasting for detox, especially over age 50, as it depletes the body's detoxification resources and muscle mass. A caller asks about alkaline versus acidic water. Dr. Dawn explains you cannot alkalinize blood since kidneys maintain pH, but alkaline urine is beneficial. Rather than expensive alkaline waters, adding a pinch of baking soda achieves the same effect. Eating a 3:1 ratio of fruits, vegetables, and grains to animal products naturally alkalinizes urine. She notes lemons paradoxically alkalinize because kidneys overcompensate for the acid load. A caller asks about managing heart disease after receiving a third stent. Dr. Dawn recommends the Mediterranean diet over DASH for cardiac patients, as Mediterranean emphasizes fish, whole grains, and fiber that binds cholesterol for excretion, while DASH focuses on calcium for hypertension. She encourages exploring exercise options through meetup.com groups and the hospital's lifestyle center, emphasizing that consistent effort can reduce biological age by 3-5 years regardless of chronological age.

On this podcast episode, I discuss important practice pearls and important test prep information about statins. Statins are cornerstone agents for ASCVD risk reduction, so test questions often focus on indication, intensity, and monitoring. Health care professionals should quickly identify statin intensity: high-intensity therapy (atorvastatin 40–80 mg, rosuvastatin 20–40 mg) lowers LDL by ~50% and is indicated for patients with clinical ASCVD, LDL ≥190 mg/dL, or high-risk diabetes patients age 40–75. Moderate-intensity statins (e.g., atorvastatin 10–20 mg, simvastatin 20–40 mg) are commonly tested for primary prevention. Statin-associated muscle symptoms range from myalgias (most common, normal CK) to rare but serious rhabdomyolysis (marked CK elevation and AKI). Risk factors include high doses, advanced age, hypothyroidism, drug interactions, and renal impairment. If muscle symptoms occur, stopping the statin, ruling out secondary causes (like hypothyroidism), and rechallenging with a lower dose or different statin is often the correct clinical approach. Drug interactions and statin selection frequently separate good from great test-takers. Lipophilic statins (simvastatin, atorvastatin, lovastatin) are more prone to muscle effects and CYP3A4 interactions, while hydrophilic statins (pravastatin, rosuvastatin) are preferred in patients with prior intolerance or complex drug regimens. Grapefruit juice, strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, and certain calcium channel blockers raise simvastatin levels—often prompting dose limits or avoidance on exams. If LDL goals aren’t met, adding ezetimibe or a PCSK9 inhibitor is the next evidence-based step. Be sure to check out our free Top 200 study guide – a 31 page PDF that is yours for FREE!

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is everywhere—but why does it help some patients and completely fail for others?In this episode, Dr. Greg Jones sits down with Dr. Joe Albano, a nationally recognized expert in regenerative orthopedics, to break down why not all PRP is created equal. They explore the real reasons PRP fails, including missed diagnoses, incorrect platelet dosing, poor patient preparation, and inadequate after-care protocols.Dr. Albano explains the true order of regenerative treatments, from PRP to bone marrow–based therapies, and why age alone should never disqualify someone from regenerative care. The conversation also dives into overlooked but critical factors like hormone balance, peptides, nutrition, sleep, body weight, and why common interventions—such as steroid injections and statins—can quietly sabotage joint and tendon healing.This is a direct, science-based discussion for patients considering PRP, stem cell therapies, or regenerative injections—and for anyone who wants to avoid costly mistakes and understand what actually helps the body heal.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 1-08-2026: Dr. Dawn concludes her 2025 medical advances recap, noting that while GLP-1 weight loss drugs showed unexpected benefits for addiction, schizophrenia, and dementia risk, Novo Nordisk recently reported semaglutide had no effect on cognition in people with existing dementia or mild cognitive impairment. She describes the first successful human bladder transplant performed on May 4th. The 41-year-old recipient received both kidney and bladder due to the bladder's complex blood vessel network. Surgeons practiced on cadavers with active circulation before achieving success, opening pathways for future bladder-only transplants for the 84,000 Americans diagnosed with bladder cancer annually. An emailer follows up about purslane for cognitive health. Dr. Dawn reviewed the referenced studies and found neither actually supported claims about purslane and cognition—one discussed the Lyon Heart Study's Mediterranean diet, the other described antioxidant properties. She cautions listeners that websites citing "scientifically proven" claims often reference articles that don't support their assertions. An emailer asks about statin alternatives after developing severe muscle pain on both atorvastatin and rosuvastatin. Dr. Dawn suggests he shouldn't be on statins given his classic adverse reaction. She recommends ezetimibe plus oat bran for cholesterol, metformin for his elevated triglycerides indicating insulin resistance, and checking LDL particle size and inflammation markers. She emphasizes that cholesterol is a risk factor, not a disease, and treating 50 low-risk people for 10 years prevents only one heart attack. A caller discusses plaque formation theory, comparing it to calluses. Dr. Dawn explains Linus Pauling's similar hypothesis that plaque forms at vessel bifurcations to protect against turbulent blood flow damage. She warns against driving total cholesterol below 130, as it disrupts steroid hormone production. The caller shares his mother's near-fatal rhabdomyolysis from statins—muscle breakdown releasing myoglobin that clogs kidneys—and criticizes data transfer failures between hospital systems. An emailer reports four UTIs in two months at age 79. Dr. Dawn questions whether all were true infections, since vaginal contamination causes false positives on dipstick tests. For confirmed UTIs, she recommends D-mannose and cranberry to prevent bacterial adhesion, post-void residual ultrasound to check for incomplete emptying, lactobacillus probiotics, and vaginal DHEA (Intrarosa) to restore mucosal thickness and disease resistance. Dr. Dawn describes Stanford's Phase III trial for dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, where defective collagen-7 causes skin layers to separate at the slightest touch. Researchers take patient skin biopsies, use retroviruses to insert corrected genes, grow credit-card-sized skin grafts over 25 days, then suture them onto wounds. At 48 weeks, 65% of treated wounds fully healed versus 7% of controls. She reports a Stanford study showing premature babies who heard recordings of their mothers reading for 2 hours 40 minutes daily developed more mature white matter in language pathways. The left arcuate fasciculus showed greater development than controls, demonstrating how early auditory stimulation shapes brain circuitry even in NICU settings. Dr. Dawn concludes with tattoo safety concerns. Modern vivid inks contain compounds developed for car paint and printer toner, including azo dyes that break down into carcinogenic aromatic amines—especially during laser removal. Pigment particles migrate to lymph nodes and persist in macrophages, causing prolonged inflammation. She advises those with tattoos to avoid laser removal, wear sunscreen, practice lymphatic hygiene, and reconsider extensive new tattoos.

Is cholesterol really the cause of heart disease, or is something deeper at play? Approximately 800,000 people in the US have heart attacks annually, and heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Many people still misunderstand what truly drives cardiovascular risk. In this episode, Dr. Hotze explains why heart disease is not simply a cholesterol problem and why many individuals suffer heart attacks despite having normal or even low cholesterol levels. He breaks down the real contributors to heart disease, including chronic inflammation, bacterial exposure, toxic metals, and impaired cellular energy production.   Dr. Hotze discusses how inflammation can originate from unexpected sources, such as oral bacteria entering the bloodstream, and how toxic metals like mercury, lead, and aluminum may contribute to cardiovascular damage over time. He also emphasizes the heart's extraordinary energy demands, explaining why mitochondrial health and nutrients like CoQ10 are essential for proper heart function. Without adequate cellular energy production, the heart cannot perform the continuous work required to sustain life.   This episode highlights practical, preventive strategies for naturally protecting heart health, including reducing inflammation, supporting mitochondrial function, and incorporating healthy fats such as omega-3 fatty acids. Dr. Hotze emphasizes that true cardiovascular wellness stems from addressing the root causes rather than relying solely on conventional markers or medications.   Watch now and subscribe to our podcasts at www.HotzePodcast.com.   To receive a FREE copy of Dr. Hotze's best-selling book, Hormones, Health, and Happiness, call 281-698-8698 and mention this podcast.

This week, in a special holiday edition of The Dr. Hyman Show, I'm revisiting a powerful conversation with Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a leading cardiologist and advocate for ethical, evidence-based medicine, where we unpacked the uncomfortable truths about cholesterol, statins, and what really drives heart disease. Wishing you a peaceful holiday week. We unpack: • Why LDL cholesterol isn't the whole story when it comes to heart disease • How reducing inflammation and insulin resistance can better protect your heart • What statins can—and can't—do to improve real cardiovascular outcomes • How industry influence shapes the prescriptions patients receive Better heart health starts with better information and real progress begins when we stop treating numbers and start treating what's actually causing disease. Hope you have a peaceful holiday week. I look forward to continuing this journey together in the new year.

We also take a clear-eyed look at the most common concerns people have about statins, what the evidence actually shows, and where these medications fit—and don't fit—within a thoughtful, individualized approach to cardiovascular risk.From there, we explore integrative strategies for managing elevated cholesterol and why, for many patients, lifestyle, metabolic health, and inflammation-targeted interventions may be more effective than medications alone.In this episode, we discuss:Why cholesterol is biologically essential and not inherently pathologicalThe limitations of relying on LDL alone to assess cardiovascular riskHow inflammation, insulin resistance, genetics, hormones, and lifestyle influence lipid metabolismWhen elevated cholesterol truly signals disease—and when it may reflect a compensatory or adaptive responseThe role of advanced markers such as ApoB, Lp(a), hsCRP and CAC scoresWhy risk stratification—not fear-based medicine—should guide clinical decision-makingWhat statins can (and cannot do) and we break down the concerns people have with themWhy integrative approaches (nutrition, exercise, herbal options and mind-body medicine) truly treat the root cause of diseaseThis episode is for clinicians, patients, and anyone looking to move beyond simplistic cholesterol narratives toward a more nuanced, evidence-based understanding of cardiovascular health.

Send us a textDr. Michael Koren joins Kevin Geddings to review some possibly outdated information on modern statin bottles. Kevin reveals that he dutifully takes his statin at night and avoids grapefruit, but cardiologist Michael Koren, MD, gives updated advice. The doctor states that rosuvastatin, a newer statin, is long-acting, and that taking it at night may not be as necessary as in earlier statin types.  The doctor then states that rosuvastatin was also developed to avoid the interactions between statins and grapefruit, and that small amounts of grapefruit may be ok for Kevin to consume.PLEASE NOTE: The information provided in this podcast is for general educational, scientific, and informational purposes only and is not intended as, and should not be treated as, medical or other professional advice for any particular individual or individuals.  Consult with your doctor before makng alterations to medicines or foods that may interact with them.Be a part of advancing science by participating in clinical research.Have a question for Dr. Koren?

Losing weight can help, but the harder part has always been keeping it off, since many people end up regaining it over time.In this episode, Dr. Alo, often known as “America's cardiologist,” joins the conversation. With decades of experience and licenses to practice in multiple states, he has become a trusted voice in both cardiology and obesity medicine. He's seen how modern tools like GLP-1 medications and structured lifestyle changes can reshape the journey for people dealing with weight and cardiovascular risk. His perspective shows why addressing obesity is now central to long-term heart protection.We dig into everything that influences heart health today. We talk about how weight and GLP-1 medications affect cardiovascular risk, what weight loss truly does for the heart, and why lowering LDL is still one of the strongest ways to prevent heart attacks. Dr. Alo also explains statins, how they work, their safety, and who benefits from them, along with other cholesterol-lowering options and newer therapies focused on stabilizing plaque.We also cover phentermine and its impact on the heart, the cardiovascular benefits seen with GLP-1s, and the role of exercise in long-term heart protection.If you're curious about how all these pieces—weight, medications, cholesterol management, and lifestyle—work together to support better heart health, stay for the full episode.

Maryanne Demasi is an independent investigative journalist based in Australia and a former medical scientist with a PhD in rheumatology from the University of Adelaide.For many years, she worked for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and gained wide attention for reporting on controversial medical topics, particularly the efficacy and safety of statins and psychiatric drugs.Demasi was eventually suspended from her position at ABC in 2016 following controversies over her comprehensive and critical examination of statin drugs and other health risks. After leaving ABC, she continued her career as an independent investigative medical journalist.In this interview, we discuss how science can be weaponized and drug data manipulated or suppressed, even for many common drugs prescribed to millions of Americans.“Psychiatry is a classic example of where pharmaceutical companies have been sponsoring their own trials and burying data and then putting a spin on the medical journal, saying that the drug is safe and effective when the fact is, it's not,” she says.“This is not an exception. This happens commonly. Throughout history, pharmaceutical companies have been sued for designing trials [and] hiding, burying data.”Demasi said she has been censored during her career as a journalist and understands the censorship and the pressures faced by journalists and medical professionals who challenge the data and narratives of the powerful pharmaceutical industry.“COVID was the unmasking of how all of this censorship came about,” she said. “It really was an event that woke people up to just how corrupt the system is at every level, from the media to the academia to the agencies that are meant to protect us to the medical journals.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. While early detection significantly improves outcomes, many patients are diagnosed at advanced stages when treatment options are limited and relapse is common. To address this challenge, researchers are exploring whether existing drugs can be repurposed for cancer therapy, a strategy that could accelerate drug development while reducing associated costs and risks. One class of drugs under investigation is statins, commonly prescribed to reduce cholesterol and prevent cardiovascular disease. Several studies have observed a potential link between elevated cholesterol and increased CRC risk. Cholesterol may support tumor growth by promoting membrane synthesis and energy metabolism in rapidly dividing cells. Building on this connection, researchers from leading Indian institutions, including the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research and the Center of Excellence in Epigenetics at Shiv Nadar Institution of Eminence, investigated how statins influence CRC cells at the molecular level. Their goal was to determine whether these widely used drugs could have a therapeutic role in oncology. The Study: Investigating the Molecular Impact of Statins in CRC Cells The study, titled “Statins exhibit anti-tumor potential by modulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling in colorectal cancer,” was published in Oncotarget (Volume 16). Using a combination of lipidomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and 3D tumor models, the researchers explored how two widely prescribed statins, atorvastatin and simvastatin, affect molecular pathways associated with CRC progression. This integrative, multi-omics strategy enabled tracing statin-induced effects across different layers of cellular function, linking lipid, transcript, and protein changes to pathway-level shifts.

The ALL ME® Podcast Do You Need URO-A and CoQ-10 In Your Life? – Dr. Emily Werner In this episode of the ALL ME Podcast, Don Hooton speaks with Dr. Emily Werner, a sports dietitian for the Philadelphia 76ers. They discuss Dr. Werner's journey into sports nutrition, her experiences working with professional athletes, and the importance of building relationships with players to effectively communicate nutritional advice. The conversation also covers the role of nutrition in enhancing athletic performance, the collaboration with external nutrition professionals, and the significance of specific nutrients like Urolithin A in supporting athletes' health and performance. In this conversation, Dr. Emily Werner discusses the significance of gut health, the role of Urolithin A and CoQ10 as supplements, and the importance of dietary choices in maintaining optimal health. She emphasizes the need for targeted supplementation due to the decline in gut microbiome diversity and the natural production of CoQ10 with age. The discussion also highlights the role of dietitians in assessing nutritional deficiencies through blood work, particularly in athletes, and the evolving landscape of dietary supplements. To Purchase urolithin A in supplement form, Emily recommends purchasing from www.timeline.com Takeaways Dr. Werner's journey into sports nutrition began with a love for anatomy and physiology. Building relationships with athletes is crucial for effective nutrition counseling. Nutrition plays a vital role in the performance and longevity of athletes. Urolithin A is a metabolite that supports mitochondrial health. Athletes often have their own chefs or nutritionists, complicating team dynamics. Effective communication with external nutrition professionals is essential. Traveling with the team allows for better food coordination and athlete support. Nutrition education is important for young athletes to enhance their performance. The importance of nutrition has grown in professional sports over the years. Athletes benefit from a diet rich in fruits, nuts, and other nutrient-dense foods. Not everyone has the right gut microbiome for nutrient conversion. Urolithin A is a supplement that addresses bioavailability issues. Foundational supplements like Urolithin A can benefit everyone. CoQ10 is essential for energy production in mitochondria. CoQ10 helps clear out reactive oxygen species in the body. Urolithin A and CoQ10 can work synergistically for health. Dietary sources of CoQ10 include meat and fish. Statins can deplete natural CoQ10 levels in the body. Blood work can reveal nutritional deficiencies in athletes. Dietitians play a crucial role in nutritional health and prevention.

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), covers the the biggest news in the health and wellness space from a holistic, naturopath perspective. In this episode, Dr. Jack starts with the century-long transition where heart disease wasn't really a thing to now being the #1 killer in America. Next, the slippery slope of lowering cholesterol through statins or other cardiovascular drugs. This usually goes along with a suggestion for a low-fat diet. Then, this can potentially lead to a cycle of invasive testing and prescribing of medications with side effects, then more medications to counteract the side effects but with side effects of their own, and then more medication. All of this happens instead of addressing the primary symptoms in the first place and looking into a sustainable way to address the actual issues at hand and treating the primary illness as opposed to chasing after symptom after symptom after symptom. So, what is a truly heart healthy diet? Dr. Jack breaks it down. It begins with eating food the way nature intended, avoiding “food-like” products and processed foods, getting supplements and nutrients from vitamins made from whole foods and made in nature, not in a lab. Plus, Dr. Jack still advises people should speak with their own primary care physician on truly necessary medication and the goal of eventually getting off of the medications because you are healing what is ailing you, not masking symptoms. Lastly, Doug joins Dr. Jack for a discussion on the truth about stress, good stresses vs bad stresses, and the types of exercises to help combat stress in our lives.  Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

In this episode of Walk, Don't Run to the Doctor, we take a deep dive into statins, their true benefits, their real risks, and the massive role lifestyle plays in shaping heart disease outcomes. Rather than accepting oversimplified medical advice, this episode empowers you to think critically, understand uncertainty in medicine, and make fully informed decisions about your own health. You'll learn how to interpret risk statistics (like relative vs absolute risk), why lifestyle may outperform medication for many people, and why statins are helpful for some—yet potentially unnecessary or harmful for others. If you've ever been told "your cholesterol is high, you need a statin," this episode will give you the tools to ask better questions and understand whether that advice truly applies to someone like you.   Key Takeaways: -Medical uncertainty is real — many "facts" are actually opinions without solid or applicable evidence. -Statins help some people more than others: -Strong evidence for people who already had a heart attack. -Much smaller benefit (sometimes minimal) for healthy, active people without prior heart disease. -Absolute vs. relative risk matters: -A "25% reduction in risk" may really mean only 1 fewer event per 100 people. -Lifestyle changes can reduce risk by 50–80%, often outperforming statin benefits—especially for people who exercise, eat whole foods, avoid smoking, keep weight down, and drink moderately. -Statin risks are real: Muscle pain: up to 1 in 10 Diabetes risk increased: about 1 in 200 Possible cognitive impairment (enough for an FDA warning) Polypharmacy (multiple medications) increases uncertainty and side-effect risks.   Get your copy of Good Food Great Medicine, 4th ed.: https://a.co/d/1D6hIYM More references can be found at www.GreatMed.org   Would you like Dr. Hassell to answer your question on the air?

Common medications like Tylenol, statins, and diabetes drugs quietly deplete essential nutrients and stress your liver. Learn which five medications cause nutritional deficiencies, what nutrients they deplete, and actionable steps to restore balance while protecting your liver health through targeted supplementation and lifestyle changes. FEATURED SUPPLEMENT Liver Boost – Every medication you take passes through and stresses your liver, depleting essential nutrients like glutathione, CoQ10, and B vitamins. Liver Boost is specifically formulated to support your liver's detoxification pathways and help regenerate liver function.  Learn more: https://mswnutrition.com/products/liver-boost 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Acetaminophen Destroys Glutathione – Every dose of Tylenol depletes your liver's master antioxidant (glutathione), reducing your body's ability to detoxify and fight inflammation, which can lead to liver toxicity with long-term use. Statins Lower CoQ10 Levels – Cholesterol medications deplete CoQ10, a critical nutrient for heart and liver function that supports mitochondrial energy production. Anyone on statins should supplement with CoQ10 to prevent deficiency. Metformin Causes B12 Deficiency – This common diabetes medication depletes vitamin B12, leading to fatigue, nerve damage, and digestive issues. Long-term metformin users need regular B12 monitoring and supplementation.

In this episode of the Sapien Podcast, Chris Kruger returns as co-host with Brian Sanders for a deep dive into nutrition myths, fiber fallacies, and the failures of mainstream dietetics. Together, they expose how official guidelines and academic institutions push confusion for profit while ignoring root-cause solutions. The hosts critique health narratives around fiber, red meat, vitamin C, and weight-loss drugs, while sharing client case studies that reveal the real path to metabolic health. They emphasize the Sapien approach: whole foods, animal-based nutrition, hormone balance, and lifestyle over pills and procedures.   SHOW NOTES: 04:00 The Football Analogy: nutritionists misunderstand cause and effect 06:00 Debunking fiber myths and why whole foods matter most 09:00 Case study: reversing lifelong constipation with a low-fiber diet 12:00 Red meat, healthy user bias, and flawed nutrition studies 14:30 Academia, food industry funding, and distorted guidelines 15:30 Carnivore diets and the vitamin C myth 18:00 Beyond “calories in, calories out” 27:00 Defining metabolic syndrome vs. metabolic excellence 30:00 Statins, side effects, and why lifestyle beats prescriptions 32:00 Hormone health as the foundation of motivation and vitality   BEEF TALLOW PRODUCTS: NosetoTail.org Preorder the film here: http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post  Film site: http://FoodLies.org YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/FoodLies   Follow along: http://twitter.com/FoodLiesOrg http://instagram.com/food.lies http://facebook.com/FoodLiesOrg

Send us a textA brutal chest tear, a fast recovery, and a bigger question: what happens when fitness, nutrition, and medicine actually work together? Anthony shares how early movement, protein, creatine, collagen, and fish oil reduced pain and accelerated healing post-op—then we zoom out with Dr. Anderson, a family physician who believes the best care blends evidence-based prescriptions with real lifestyle change.We get honest about why many clinics still default to statins, how short visits and insurance friction push doctors into checklists, and what it takes to build a patient-doctor partnership where “no” is the start of a plan, not the end of a visit. From multivitamins and omega-3s to protein needs for women 40-plus, we lay out supplement strategies that actually move the needle, while stressing that movement—not bedrest—is the engine of recovery.We also tackle the rising tide of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic. Where can they help? When do they fail? The answer often hinges on habits. Meds can flip hunger signals, but long-term success still depends on protein-forward eating, resistance training, and sleep. We challenge outdated measures like BMI, favor better metrics, and highlight new research showing how training the non-injured limb can speed healing on the injured side. Along the way, we pull back the curtain on rural care deserts, urban abundance, and why medical training needs more nutrition and lifestyle medicine now.If you're tired of extremes—pill-only fixes or wellness-only promises—this conversation lands in the productive middle.

Host Dr. Vera Tarman speaks with Daniel Trevor—entrepreneur-turned “citizen scientist” and author of Unholy Trinity: How Carbs, Sugars, and Oils Make Us Fat, Sick, and Addicted, and How to Escape Their Grip. After a near-fatal heart attack, Daniel dove into medical literature, clinician interviews, and self-tracking. He shares the arguments behind his book, why he believes hyperinsulinemia is a “gateway disease,” how diet patterns may influence cardiometabolic risk and cravings, and the testing he advocates so people can “don't guess—test.” We also discuss controversy in nutrition science, harm-reduction ways to experiment with food choices, and how to navigate mixed messages from experts. About our guest Daniel Trevor has founded high-tech companies, worked in anti-aging projects, and spent 20 years as an actor and musician. His health crisis catalyzed a research journey that informed Unholy Trinity. He now writes and speaks about low-carb/keto to carnivore approaches, lab testing, and lifestyle change. What we cover Daniel's pivot from “Mr. Healthy” to heart-attack survivor and researcher Hyperinsulinemia → insulin resistance → cardiometabolic disease (Daniel's “gateway disease” model) Why some people see a rise in LDL on low-carb diets and what advanced lipoprotein testing (e.g., NMR LipoProfile) may reveal “Lean-mass hyper-responder” profile: high LDL with low triglycerides and high HDL—what it means and why it's debated Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores, soft vs. calcified plaque, and the “CAC paradox” as Daniel understands it Grains, seed oils, and sugar: Daniel's case for their role in appetite, cravings, and disease risk; critique of popular diet guidance Statins, side effects, and absolute risk/benefit as presented by Daniel (and why shared decision-making matters) Practical, harm-reduction steps: food substitutions, lab work, and building a sustainable plan Where Daniel's thinking intersects—and conflicts—with mainstream guidelines, and how listeners can evaluate claims Key takeaways “Don't guess—test.” Daniel urges listeners to use accessible labs and scans (prioritizing a small set if resources are limited) and to pair results with symptoms and function. Protein and structure can reduce chaos. He advocates prioritizing animal protein, minimizing refined carbs/sugars and seed oils, and making like-for-like swaps to lower cravings. Context matters. Individual responses vary (genetics, meds, comorbidities, history with restriction/addiction). Go slow, track, and use support. Hold nuance. Nutrition science evolves; some claims remain contested. Use informed consent and a collaborative care team. The content of our show is educational only.

In this episode of The Neuro Experience, I sit down with Dr. Kellyann Niotis—one of the first fellowship-trained preventive neurologists—to reveal how you can protect your brain long before symptoms of Alzheimer's or dementia appear. With Alzheimer's cases expected to triple by 2050, Dr. Niotis explains the difference between dementia types, the real role of genes like ApoE4, and why lifestyle choices may be more powerful than genetics. If you want actionable tools to lower your risk, strengthen your memory, and understand the future of preventive neurology, this conversation delivers science-backed strategies you can start applying today. About Dr. Kellyann Niotis: Dr. Kellyann Niotis is the first fellowship-trained preventive neurologist focused on reducing risk for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Lewy Body Dementia. She launched the nation's first Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell and now leads early-detection and brain health research at the Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases Florida. Her work appears in leading medical journals and has been featured by CNN. *** Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for more conversations at the intersection of brain science and performance.

Current treatments for heart disease fail to address root causes. Stents and bypass surgery only restore blood flow temporarily without tackling underlying endothelial dysfunction and inflammation driving heart disease Despite their ability to lower cholesterol, statins have limitations. While these drugs lower LDL cholesterol by 25% to 35%, they don't address oxidative damage or rebuild vessel health, leaving underlying inflammatory processes unchanged Excess linoleic acid (LA) from vegetable oils fuels heart disease. Modern diets contain 7.2% LA, as opposed to 2.8% a century ago. This creates mitochondrial dysfunction and dangerous oxidized LDL cholesterol formation Reducing LA intake shows measurable cardiovascular benefits. Limiting LA to under 5 grams daily reduces inflammatory markers like hsCRP by 15% and IL-6 by 10% within weeks Novel approaches like nanoparticle chelation show promise. Targeted delivery systems can address calcified plaques directly, offering more precise treatment than traditional intravenous methods at lower costs
