Podcasts about track your plaque

This episode takes you through how Patrick discovered his heart disease and discovering what he calls the seven-headed dragon. Patrick shares his knowledge of dynamic systems to reverse a seemingly irreversible health condition. Patrick shares his strategic use of a ketogenic diet when looking at cardiovascular disease as well as one meal a day eating.Who is Patrick Theut?Patrick is a biochemist that has vested in over 16,000 hours of study, spread over many years in order to address and resolve his extensive plaque buildup in the Left Main coronary artery of his heart. He has been observing his medical condition for many years and has discovered long-forgotten literature associated with Vitamin K and how the Vitamin K is key for his treatment of his Coronary artery disease, but he was actually taking only a fraction of the dosage needed to help.To battle with his serious medical condition, he had started researching various cures, aids and supplementations and what was their direct impact on his health.Patrick is an engineer who has successfully managed to reverse his coronary artery disease.Patrick is the founder of the Track Your Plaque group where they track different heavy conditions that can be impacted by the Vitamin K.Highlights[3:50] How did Patrick find out he had heart disease and how it affected him?[19:33] Heart disease as a gut bacteria problem and surface chemistry problem.[25:20] What is fetuin a?[28:09] What is the purpose of LDL and HDL?[31:44] Why Patrick hasn't brushed his teeth in 10 years.[48:48] Why is a ketogenic diet so important here?[1:05:40] Talk about Vitamin KResources​The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent PealeLife Extension: A Practical Scientific Approach Adding Years to Your Life and Life to Your YearsFramingham Heart Study (FHS)Lore of Running by Timothy NoakesX3: 10 Minute Workouts, Reversing Osteoporosis, and OMADVitamin K and Vitamin K-Dependent Proteins by Dr. Sarah BoothsVitamin K and its analogsShould I take vitamin K2? | Dr. William DavisVitamin K and Cardiovascular diseaseSponsorSourcing Vitamin K in high doses is difficult.I have gone through bottles and bottles and bottles and bottles and paid countless taxes to import vitamin K and smaller doses. But Patrick makes high dose Vitamin K and produces it at a very, very reasonable cost. If you go to his website k-vitamins.com you can check out Koncentrated K and pick them up for yourself.Patrick's giving me no compensation for this. He did not ask for this, but I'm giving it to you because I think it's important that if you want to source high dose vitamin K, you know where to get it.DisclaimerThis information is being provided to you for educational and informational purposes only.

While Jimmy and Christine are gone on a much needed and deserved sabbatical for six months to rest and recuperate, we will be bringing you the best of the best from the vast archives of shows that Jimmy has accumulated over the last 15 years. We also will be airing shows from his wildly popular JIMMY RANTS live show that originated on Instagram Live and now resides at JimmyRants.com. Paid advertisement “Wheat has not been changed by modern genetic modification, it’s been changed by older processes that are not as precise, far more crude, and much worse for us.” Dr. William Davis Paid advertisement Today’s Best Of interview features one of the most popular authors in the low-carb community. He is Milwaukee, WI-based cardiologist Dr. William Davis who wrote an incredible (then) new book warning of the dangers to health and weight of consuming wheat called Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health. While this seemingly harmless food we are consuming is actually promoted by health experts and in government guidelines as “healthy,” Dr. Davis warns that major changes in the gliadin content of modern-day wheat is what makes it so dastardly for us to be consuming now. This book is one of the more seminal works on this subject that will hopefully spawn even more research and a closer examination by others in the years to come. Plus, Dr. Davis answers these questions from LLVLC Show listeners: DAN ASKS: Thank you Dr. Davis for writing the book “Wheat Belly”. I’ve bought 3 copies to hand out to friends, plus the audio version. It’s making a difference. I’m sure you are receiving lots of success stories. I have lost 145 pounds, one big reason is I put the wheat out. I tell everyone I know to read your book. JAMIE ASKS: If wheat has addictive properties, are their any supplements or even drugs that someone who is wheat addicted might take to help them wean themselves off wheat. Can you list the other grains that have possible wheat like effects? Hops are used in beer. Any thoughts on beer? Paid advertisement I’ve listened to the audio version several times. You mention the “accompanying CD ROM”–Is there a CD ROM that goes along with the book? Will there be a paperback version and if so what will be the updates? If your doctor has told you that they want to put you on statins, what (evidenced-based) references would you quote to argue against it? MIKE SAYS: Check this out: ‘Statins can cut prostate threat’: Medication for cholesterol can reduce risk of cancer Now that Lipitor’s patent has run out, here’s the latest “coincidental” side effect benefit of statins: Just more one more BS epidemiological study. PETER FROM TAIWAN ASKS: Regarding the Apo E4 gene, about 1 in 5 people have it putting them at greater risk of developing atherosclerosis. Shouldn’t people find out if they have this gene before starting a low-carb, high-fat diet? LUKE ASKS: Should individuals with high heart scan calcium scores avoid the heavy ingestion of fat at one meal followed immediately by intense exercise or exertion? Does saturated fat contribute to coronary plaque because it has a flat molecular structure unlike unsaturated fats whose molecular structure is “bent” or “kinky”? You explain in Track Your Plaque that 20% of coronary artery plaque is calcium.  A heart scan measures calcium in the arteries.  Therefore total plaque can be estimated by multiplying the calcium score by five.  In this regard can you answer the following questions. Proponents of chelation therapy contend that chelation can remove plaque from the arteries.  Do you believe chelation therapy removes calcium from the arteries? What is the purpose of the body including 20% calcium in plaque? JANET ASKS: If someone has HDL of 79 and triglycerides of 62, but an LDL pattern A of 199, is this a concern?  The reason my naturopath is concerned is that i  have high blood pressure and took a cardiac test which measures to the fraction the carotid artery which is supposed to be very indicative of the whole artery system and it showed very little plaque but lots of thickening (from the  high blood pressure).  I’m 53 and have the carotid of a 72 year old.  Yikes.  He was trying to blame this on Atkins, but i’ve only been on Atkins for 6 months.  So I’m probably saving my life right? CATHY ASKS: Do you think CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) will aid in weight loss?  Have you ever used it with patients?

Finally got to meet William Davis MD, cardiologist extraordinaire and author of the "Wheat Belly" series, "Track Your Plaque", "Undoctored" and many other superb books. A key focus of our discussion was something pivotal in nature - the holy grail if you will. Yes - I'm talking about stopping and reversing heart disease in the human!

Visit stuschaefer.com for complete show notes of every podcast episode: Leave us a rating and review! Since 2004, Dr. Davis served as Medical Director of the heart disease prevention and reversal program, Track Your Plaque. In an effort to assist people and his patients reduce their blood sugar (high in over 80% of people nowadays) Dr. Davis had them eliminate wheat, including whole grain products, based on the simple fact that wheat products increase blood sugar more than nearly all other foods. The unexpected result: Incredible weight loss; relief from acid reflux and the gas, cramping, and diarrhea of irritable bowel syndrome; increased energy, more stable moods, and deeper sleep; relief from arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis; dramatically improved cholesterol values; reduced blood pressure and inflammatory measures, and on and on. It became clear that this was no coincidence. This was real. And it was all due to eliminating this thing being sold to us called wheat. As a result, Wheat Belly was born.

SHOW DESCRIPTION: This week you will find out how eliminating wheat from our diets can prevent fat storage, shrink unsightly bulges, and reverse myriad health problems. Every day, over 200 million Americans consume food products made of wheat. As a result, over 100 million of them experience some form of adverse health effect, ranging from minor rashes and high blood sugar to the unattractive stomach bulges that preventive cardiologist William Davis calls “wheat bellies.” According to my guest this week, Dr. Davis, excess fat has nothing to do with gluttony, sloth, or too much butter: It’s due to the whole grain wraps we eat for lunch. After witnessing over 2,000 patients regain their health after giving up wheat, Davis reached the disturbing conclusion that wheat is the single largest contributor to the nationwide obesity epidemic—and its elimination is key to dramatic weight loss and optimal health. Tune in to find out how you can transform your life without wheat. GUEST BIO:William Davis, MD, is a preventive cardiologist whose unique approach to diet allows him to advocate reversal, not just prevention, of heart disease. He is the founder of the Track Your Plaque program. He lives and practice cardiology in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Featured Topic This week's featured topic is an interview with Dr. William Davis, the author of "Track Your Plaque: The only heart disease prevention program that shows how the new CT heart scans can be used to detect, track, and control coronary plaque".  As a practicing cardiologist, Dr. Davis became deeply dissatisfied with the conventional approach to heart disease and created the Track Your Plaque program to help others apply new technology in heart disease prevention. He is the Medical Director of Milwaukee Heart Scan and is a member of the Nutritional Magnesium Association. Dr. Davis is dedicated to promoting early detection and prevention of heart disease and invites you to get more information that will help you avoid the heart health risk factors of magnesium deficiency. During the interview, Dr. Davis and I discuss: -why a special sub-set of elite athletes are actually at a high risk for heart disease -what it means to have a "high heart scan score" -the extreme importance of something called lipoprotein A -one of single most important minerals for heart function that is now removed from the public water supply -how to track your plaque, and exactly where to go and what to do for a heart CT scan -the primary problems with conventional approaches to heart disease -why do healthy people have heart attacks? -and much more! Listener Q&A   Listener Jason asks: "Morning mr greenfield, u said u liked that. Been doing some flying lately and become a fan of listening to your  podcast. I was hopeing you could give me some feedback on an issue I had in my  first tri I competed in a week or so ago. Basically the issue is that on my run I got severe stomach cramps and  suffered from ab muscle pain for a few day after the event. A little bit of background and history is that I am in good shape,  6-1 , 190 pounds, probably about 15 % body fat. I trained for the  event, which was a sprint tri for about 7 weeks and felt good going  into it. Had some cereal and a slice of toast for b- fast. About 16 oz  of water. Then after getting to the course had a clif bar. Just before  the race I had a gu. Did the 300 m swim in 5:47. Then did 15 ml bike  in 47 mins. I also had two bottles of water while doing the bike  portion. Regular bike water bottles. In my transition to the run I had  half of a small bottle of Gatorade. That's where the problems started.  Got out of the t2 area and started getting stomach cramps which hung  around for the entire run which slowed me down to about 28 mins insted  of the 25 I was hoping for. I did the race in 1:24 which was 6 mins faster than I was going for  but am very competitive and want to improve. Any help u could give me would be appreciated. Someone said it was  because I drank to much liquid." Listener Maleah asks: "Doing the Shape21 thing made me start researching raw food diets since it is very similar.  I don't think I told you but in the second week I had a very bad cold.  I took it particularly hard because I had not had a cold in about 4 years.  I was afraid I was doing something wrong with the diet and exercise.  But, in learning about raw food diets, this is a NORMAL occurrence due to detoxification.  I don't remember that being in your materials.  If I missed it, I guess that is par for the course because I missed several other things the first time through but if you did not include it, may I recommend adding it?" Listener Drew asks: "On a somewhat related note to the pollution question, I have a question that also relates to the harmful chemicals of our modern day world.  Let's suppose that an athlete is on a tight budget and honestly cannot afford to buy organic produce.  Let's suppose he/she can only afford non-organic produce.  Do you think it might be better in this case to forgo produce altogether and consume the necessary vitamins and minerals from other sources?  In other words, does ingesting huge amounts of harmful pesticides and/or genetically modified produce outweigh the benefits the produce may provide?  Thanks, Ben!" Listener Pete asks: "Hi Ben, Got a more general question in regards to the IM/ Half IM bike leg. When ever I listen to the pros talking via podcasts, they always mention, "riding with/being dropped from the group". Are they talking about riding together with a 3 bike length gap, or are they just straight out drafting. Also, noticed the the WTC have introduced anti-doping laws across the board for pro and Age group qualifiers. I'd like to know your thoughts on what percent of people are actually cheating, both pro and age grouper. Do we have a big problem in our sport?" Listener Jim asks: "I take the Armour Thyroid, should I consider specific times that I dose in the morning on race days, I currently dose once a day in the AM when I wake. Also I take Adroderm testosterone patches, I also have some gels. I take 3 per day and usually replace them when I go to bed, they are 5 mg per for a total of 15mg per day. I understand you are not a doctor...but I would like to know if the levels of both of these prescriptions affect performance." Do you have a question?

Click to Subscribe to All Ben's Fitness & Get A Free Surprise Gift from Ben. Click here for the full written transcript of this podcast episode In this September 6, 2009 free audio episode, I answer listener questions about exercising in polluted areas, what detoxing is and how it works, how to lose muscle mass safely, staying fit when you can't run, what to do if your legs get tired before your lungs do, what exactly processed sugar is, and much more! Listener Mindy asks: "I am just coming out of a bout of serious over-training – to the point of major pathology: I was forgetting things and actually gained fat! Devastating for someone in my position. But you taught me that this happens. I've made some rather dramatic changes to my life to heal myself. Exercise is my passion and my stress release. I have returned to it. I do have a coach helping me to make sure I have guidance. He knows what I did to myself. I understand I need rest and recovery – as a matter of fact, I was feeling tired and took my text book, lay down, and actually ended up sleeping for 2 hours. I feel like that is the right thing to do – sort of like “sleep when baby sleeps” advice when a woman just has a baby. Anyway, are there any special dietary measures and/or supplements that would be beneficial in my recovery?" In my response to Mindy, I reference the post "18 Ways to Make Your Body Heal Like Wolverine From X-Men" Listener Matt asks: "I've just discovered your website and podcast and absolute love it. Very relevant and, more importantly, very inspiring. I've just started getting into triathaons (olympic distance). I've always played competitive sports and have spent a lot of time bodybuilding. I weigh 220lbs and stand at 6'1 although not quite at the 3% bodyfat you mentioned you were once at. At the Malibu tri last year I was passed and subsequently beaten by a super clydesdale (225+lbs) who looked like a bodybuilder and his final time was 20 minutes better then mine. I've starting to find as I keep the balance of weights and specific tri training my knees are starting to suffer on the runs. Can I have the best of both worlds or do I have to put the weights aside and lose some mass to be able to continue to enjoy triathlons?" In my response, I talk to Matt about how to lose muscle effectively and safely. Listener Tammy asks: "Ben, I have a suggestion for your podcast.  I am very interesting in the benefits of juicing fruits and vegies vs. just eating them.  I know that by juicing you lose the fiber because you don't get the pulp, but is there anything else?  Is juicing better for you or not?" Listener Chuck asks: "Hey Mr. Greenfield, I hope all is going well-- it seems like everytime I read something on endurance training, there is an article by you! I was hoping to get you advice on my training for the next few weeks.  This Sunday, the 6th, I am doing the Virginia Beach Rock n' Roll half marathon. The following sunday I am racing an International distance triathlon is Williamsburg.  The week after that I have a sprint triathlon at the beach followed by another international race the week after. Then another international following that.  Finally, 2 weeks from then I have the Men's Health Urbanathlon in Chicago which is a 10-mile adventure race.  So the Schedule looks like this: Sept 6: half marathon; Sept 13: International tri Sept 20: Sprint Tri; Sept 27: International Tri; Oct 3: International Tri; Oct 18: 10-mile adventure run. How do I train in order than I can still compete at my best but recover from each race and not burn out?  I'd love your advice, thanks a lot for the all the help you've given me.  I look forward to hearing from you." Listener Kev asks: "Ben, just a quick update.  Pulled the calf muscle apart somehow, prob over training and doing this all year.  So went and saw PT yesterday and they told me to NO RUNNING for 3 weeks so I'm done for now.  Here's pic so you can see what it looks like and exactly what I'm talking about.  So do you have any recommendations to keeping running fitness up when I can't run?  Should I just do water running instead?  If so, how long?  15-20 mins?" In my response to Kevin, I reference a blog post that I wrote about aqua jogging and water running. Listener Mark asks: "I'm going to take your advice on the processed sugar elimination - but where do you think it could be coming from if this is the issue?  Like yogurt or cereal?  And what exactly do you mean by processed sugar?  Is that different than say brown sugar that I would add to oatmeal?  I don't really eat trail mix so I can count that out--obviously you can tell I'm pretty fat-phobic, but I'm working on it.  Would it be a good idea to try and healthily raise my body fat some?  (Honestly, the low body fat has already caused me to have low testosterone, like you said)." Listener Brad asks: "When I train its mostly high intensity type of work.  I think because of that, I often feel like my legs are more tired than my lungs/cardio system. So while I feel like I'm in shape enough to keep working out, my legs say "no".  I can do the elliptical or something but some days I just can't do a run even if feel like I'm in "good enough shape" to do so.  Any advice?" Listener Christine asks: "I read a study (posted here) that says the body can absorb magnesium through bathing in Epsom salt. This caught my eye as I'm on a very tight budget and this seems to be an economical way of getting mag. into my system. Your thoughts?" In my response to Christine, I mention magnesium sulfate vs. chloride, and my original answer to listener Eric in Podcast Episode #56 to a similar question. Listener Tommy asks: "Do detox products really work? How does the body get rid of toxins? WHAT ARE TOXINS!? From my understanding the  liver and kidneys do just fine with healthy individuals. Thanks Ben." In my response to Tommy, I reference the "gentle detox" that I personally use, a combination of Oil of Oregano and Enerprime (click here to read more about how I do this). Listener Mohamed asks: "I'm an amateur triathlete living in Cairo, Egypt. If you've ever been here before or heard of it you'll know that it's ridiculously polluted. It seemed like walking in the streets before didn't give me a problem, but now just standing in a place of congestion I find that the pollution really affects me. I have to keep several tissues over my mouth or at least my hand otherwise I get into a coughing fit. I spent several months in France in the summer and had no trouble with the "regular" amount of congestion and pollution that exists there. So it's not asthma or anything like that.  I'm concerned that this kind of exposure would really affect my lungs and my performance. Keeping in mind that a lot of the cars aren't well maintained and besides CO2 a lot of carbon monoxide is released as well as unburnt fuel and other exhaust materials. Do you think it necessary to fully preserve my lungs to consistently wear products like Respro? Any other tips on how to handle living in a place like this?" Do you have a question?

With over 23 years of research Mr. Kao has pioneered advanced soil-based microorganism technology and water restructuring technology and has developed a method to "neutralize" sea water so that 8% to 25% sea water could be used in agriculture to enhance the health and nutrition of crops, with no leaf burn due to high salt content. Mr. Kao has also developed a method to break down rock dust rapidly. (+/- 9 months) for the purpose of soil remineralization which applications resulted in tomato plants growing over 12-14 feet tall, broccoli harvested over 11 times from the same plant, and an experimental orange tree that produced 1200 to 1400 oranges for 3 years consecutively. Mr. Kao's work in hydroponics resulted in the first ever truly “organic” method of hydroponics. 100% non-toxic. (The standard hydroponics used today, uses the most toxic forms of pesticides.) -------------------------------------------------------- That's all for this week.
