Ed & Curt's “terrain” model: Bad inputs: ultra-processed food, toxins, poor sleep, chronic stress, lack of sun/movement Missing inputs: nutrient-dense foods, minerals, omega-3s, organ meats, sunlight, sleep, movement Example of amlodipine: lowers BP numbers but may increase arterial calcification (calcium channel blocker) For people unwilling to change lifestyle, drugs may offer marginal benefit—but not true health [0:41:05] – Curt's Book & Lab Markers That Matter More Than LDL-C Curt's book: “Beyond Cholesterol: The Ultimate Guide to Testing and Supplements for Heart Health” Emphasis on better markers: ApoB, LDL particle size/number, calcium score, etc. Book's Amazon performance briefly noted (new release bestseller in its category) [0:44:32] – Alternatives to Statins & PCSK9s: Bergamot & Lifestyle Curt's hierarchy: Lifestyle (diet, exercise, stress, sleep) Targeted supplements like bergamot (citrus extract): lowers harmful particles such as ApoB and supports “good” LDL function Only then consider pharmaceuticals, and very selectively Skepticism about recommending Lifendra at all; strong bias toward non-drug approaches [0:45:28] – Dr. Wolfson, Mold, and Cardiovascular Terrain Ed & Curt's respect for Dr. Jack Wolfson, “The Natural Heart Doctor” Mention of mold as a major, under-recognized driver of cardiovascular disease Reference to Dr. Wolfson's educational resources and upcoming podcast plans [0:48:04] – Key Takeaways on Lifendra & Heart Prevention Strategy Lifendra will not fix: seed oils, glyphosate exposure, mold, bad sleep, chronic stress Terrain-building priorities: Real food, omega-3s, sunlight Toxin reduction Mitochondrial support Foundational supplements Contrast: drugs = band-aids with side effects; nutraceuticals = “side benefits” when used correctly [0:52:28] – Wrap-Up Ed mentions Sprouts selling lab-grown meat and his strong opposition Update on Oura Ring: now tracking nighttime blood pressure and importance of BP dipping Listener story: young man post–heart surgery credits Nutrition World's education and support with changing his life Final thanks to Dr. Dearing and closing outro  The post Radio Show / Podcast – August 9, 2026 first appeared on Vital Health Radio.

Professor Dame Nancy Rothwell, President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Manchester gave the 2019 Paget Lecture. She presented her ground breaking work on stroke and the role of inflammation in brain damage, that has recently translated into clinical trials. The Stephen Paget Memorial Lecture is a scientific lecture that commemorates the life of Dr Stephen Paget. Stephen Paget (1855 – 1926) was the founder of the Research Defence Society, a forerunner of Understanding Animal Research. As a medical doctor, he believed passionately that better science and understanding of physiology would lead to better medical treatments. After his death in 1926, he was greatly missed by his colleagues and by the scientific community. The first Stephen Paget memorial lecture was given in 1927 to commemorate his life and allow leading bio-medical scientists of the day to talk about their research. You can read and see nearly a hundred years of these lectures on Animal Research Information here: http://www.animalresearch.info/en/medical-advances/articles-lectures/

Professor Clive Page, Kings College London, gave the 81st Stephen Paget memorial lecture in 2017 on the subject: How animals have contributed to our understanding and treatment of respiratory diseases

Listen to episode 66 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Way of Wonder. Edited and adapted from a classic book of essays by Stephen Paget. Educational Podcast Excerpt: This much I remember of Aristotle, that he calls Wonder the beginning of the love of Wisdom. To have a right judgment of our surroundings, we must wonder at them, and be surprised that they and we are met together. So long as we exercise this quickening sense of wonder, there is hope for us, and some justification of our presence here on earth---because we all are on the road that leads toward wisdom. And they alone are incorrigible fools to whom Nature comes natural. Once we have fallen into the bad habit of taking for granted what Nature gives us, and have ceased to be amazed, it may be fairly said that in the midst of life we are in death. For one might as well be dead as alive, to look with dull eyes at the world, not finding it wonderful....

Professor Colin Blakemore tells four stories about the brain in this 2015 Paget lecture. Colin discussed the importance of animal work, the 3Rs and continual development of experimental design in four different aspect of neuroscience: the cerebral cortex, language, Huntington’s Disease and Stroke. He concluded the lecture by discussing the importance of avoiding a polarised debate about animal research.Stephen Paget founded the Research Defence Society the precursor to Understanding Animal Research, in 1908.

Professor Dame Linda Partridge, director of the UCL Institute of Healthy Ageing, delivered a fascinating lecture on “The Science of Healthy Ageing”. Recent work has shown that ageing is malleable to genetic, dietary and pharmacological intervention. She described work in her own laboratory to create an inducible model of Alzheimer’s disease using fruit flies, which shows very similar pathology to the human condition. These findings have opened the way to discovering drugs capable of producing a broad-spectrum improvement in the health of older people. The 78th Stephen Paget Memorial Lecture was given at the Wellcome Collection in London in December. The Lecture was established in 1927 following the death of Stephen Paget, founder of UAR forerunner, the Research Defence Society. Past Paget Lecturers have included Nobel Laureates Sir Howard Florey and Sir Peter Medawar, and renowned evolutionary biologist and science writer Professor Steve Jones. The inaugural Understanding Animal Research Openness Awards for animal research were given immediately preceding the lecture.
