Hi Gregor,
I’m excited to share the second episode of the Longevity Roadmap with you.
Episode 2 is now live — click here to watch it.
The Functional Medicine Approach to Heart Disease will only be available for 24 hours until 5:59pm EST January 15.
It’s hard to overstate the impact that cardiovascular disease (CVD) has in the U.S.
Consider the following:
- Cardiovascular disease affects 65 million Americans.
- Close to one million Americans have a heart attack each year.
- In the U.S., one person dies every 39 seconds of cardiovascular disease.
- 1 of 3 deaths that occur in the U.S. is caused by cardiovascular disease.
- 1 in 3 Americans has metabolic syndrome, a cluster of major cardiovascular risk factors related to being overweight, obesity, and insulin resistance.
Unfortunately, cardiovascular disease is one of the most misdiagnosed and mistreated conditions in medicine. But the good news is that we can minimize our risk for cardiovascular disease by taking positive steps to protect our hearts. These steps are what you'll discover in this episode.
Here are a few key topics from Episode 2:
- How chronic inflammation is a major contributor to heart disease, and what you can do today to reduce inflammation.
- The difference between familial hypercholesterolemia and controllable “elevated” cholesterol.
- The factors that influence your cholesterol, and whether or not statin drugs are the most effective ways to prevent heart attacks.
- How to determine if a high-fat or low-fat diet is best for you.
- The connection between metabolic syndrome and heart disease, and how to improve insulin sensitivity.
And this is just a small sample of what you’ll see in this episode.
Please spread this message of vibrant, lasting health with those in your friend and family circle. It’s not too late to get them signed up to watch the docuseries. Just share this link with them.
