In last week's podcast, it was discussed how the Western medical system is failing to detect silent atherosclerosis using certain screening tests. However, this week's episode offers some hope as Dr. Kahn shares two new studies that show atherosclerosis can actually be reversed. The first study utilized a combination of injections and oral agents to achieve intensive medical therapy, resulting in a significant reduction in "soft" plaque components within the heart disease after just 1.5 years. In the second study, a natural supplement called berberine was used to shrink carotid plaque and lower TMAO levels. Dr. Kahn offers this supplement in his clinic and online store at kahnlongevitycenter.gethealthy.store. Additionally, the episode touches on the importance of saying no to salt, added sugar, and alcohol, as well as the Diabetes Regression and Remission Study, which is accepting Type 2 Diabetics interested in the 5 Day Fasting Mimicking Diet program from L-Nutra.

Tune in to Episode 298 to learn more about this groundbreaking study.

Whole nuts are a good source of fiber and nutrients, but are they heart-healthy? Many studies relate nut intake and longevity, including the famous Seventh Day Adventist studies from Loma Linda, California. This week, Dr. Kahn shares three studies on nuts: one that shows improved heart health, one that shows a healthier gut leading to heart health, and one that shows resistance to frailty with aging. He makes a compelling case to eat nuts most or all days. Dr. Kahn also discusses the 30-second sit-stand test that you should try, which can be found at cdc.gov/steadi/pdf/STEADI-Assessment-30Sec-508.pdf. Finally, he reviews three papers on why adding GG-Pure or Xtend-Quinol from www.xtend-life.com may protect against insulin resistance when taking a statin cholesterol medication.

To say that "Food is Medicine" is an important concept is an understatement. The rest of the message, that "Food Can Be Poison," is seen every day at the Kahn Center for Cardiac Longevity. This week, Dr. Kahn focuses on new data that shows adhering to the Mediterranean (MED) diet lowers the risk of a wide range of heart diseases in women based on a large new study. There is no doubt that this is true for men too. The MED Diet is contrasted with Dr. Longo's Longevity Diet and the true Whole Food, Plant-Based Diet. The traditional site to learn more about the MED diet (www.oldwayspt.org) is also discussed as a resource.

This week at Heart Doc VIP, Dr. Kahn reports back from his Michigan office on great news about a cholesterol-lowering medicine called bempadoic acid, and on vegan vs. keto diets and their impact on the planet. The main focus is the new report suggesting that a non-nutritive sweetener called erythritol, which is made in the body but also used as an additive in many foods, may be related to heart disease and cause blood to clot. The amount of erythritol found in many keto-friendly foods meets or exceeds the amount used in healthy human volunteers, suggesting it may play a role in excessive clotting. There will be many more studies on this exciting new topic.

He quotes the literature that indicates that plant-based protein is healthier and supports healthy muscle growth if you do the hard work of gym time. He highlights vegan bodybuilders Nimai Delgado and Robert Cheeke. Robert Cheeke gained over 100 lbs. of muscle by spending time in the gym eating a clean plant diet without any supplements with only 10-15% of his 3,000 daily calories from protein sources like beans. Dr. Kahn disagrees strongly that to "build muscle you need to eat muscle". Maybe tofu, but not muscle.

Lectins are a family of proteins that bind to carbohydrates found throughout the plant and animal kingdoms. Some people, unfortunately, think of the healthiest foods on the planet, legumes, as plant sources of lectins to avoid. Not true. This week, Dr. Kahn talks about a lectin made by humans, galectin-3. The paradox is that this compound, measured on a simple lab test, is helpful at low doses but causes inflammation and scarring of at least the heart and kidneys. Modified citrus pectin blocks galectin-3 and is available as a capsule or powder developed by Isaac Eliaz, MD.

Are supplements just expensive urine? That question has come up before but a new and massive study reports that certain supplements reduce heart risk and some save lives.

Dr. Kahn also reviews his recent trip to the largest meeting of anti-aging physicians in the world and the lessons learned. Thanks to xtend-life.com and discount code Kahn15.

Heart disease from atherosclerosis is usually a slowly progressive process for years that is silent. There is a long period to suspect it or diagnose it. It takes a suspicious mind, but as it is so common, everyone should consider their risk of heart disease.

The words "prevent not stent" are the highest goal of care at the Kahn Center and can be confirmed by the "test not guess" philosophy of using CIMT and CT imaging for plaque detection.

He then describes two new approaches that are novel, natural, and new but supported by amazing science. Thanks to memoryhealth.com and the discount code Kahn15.
