Mindsip insights from this episode:
Understand arterial plaque composition beyond cholesterol
Arterial plaque is less than 20% cholesterol and is mostly made of cellular debris, white blood cells, and clotting factors that form in response to injury.
Utilize AI scans to identify dangerous plaque in arteries
An AI-powered scan called a Clearly CT coronary angiogram can distinguish between stable hard plaque and dangerous, rupture-prone soft plaque in your arteries.
Address environmental factors to manage hypertension
Hypertension is often not a disease itself but a symptom of a disordered environment, primarily caused by a lack of sunlight and too much EMF exposure.
Check lipoprotein(a), hs-CRP, and ADMA for heart risk assessment
The three most important labs to initially check for cardiovascular risk are Lipoprotein(a), hs-CRP, and ADMA (asymmetric dimethylarginine).
Prioritize glycocalyx health to prevent plaque buildup
The health of the glycocalyx, a protective gel-like surface in your arteries, is more critical for preventing plaque than cholesterol levels, and a supplement called Arterosil can help repair it.
Manage thyroid health to regulate cholesterol levels
An underactive thyroid can directly cause high cholesterol by reducing the number of LDL receptors that clear cholesterol particles from the blood.
Skip dinner for optimal health benefits
While socially difficult, fasting in the evening by skipping dinner is functionally more optimal for health than skipping breakfast, as the ideal eating window is sunup to sundown.
Choose bad oil over junk light for better health outcomes
When forced to choose between constant junk light exposure or eating food fried in soybean oil, a cardiologist might choose the bad oil as long as it's eaten outside in the sun.
Optimize circadian biology by embracing sunlight and blocking artificial light
Before focusing on diet or exercise, optimizing circadian biology by viewing the sunrise and blocking artificial light at night is the most fundamental pillar for health.
Utilize grounding to thin blood and lower inflammation
Grounding, or having bare feet on the earth, provides free electrons that help thin your blood and lower inflammation, acting as a natural way to reduce cardiovascular risk.
