Heart disease doesn’t start when you’re old - it starts early, often silently. 🫀 In this episode, I sat down with preventive cardiologist Dr. Laurence Sperling to unpack the real story behind cardiovascular disease. We cover everything from cholesterol and blood pressure to

“But what about how people gain back weight after stopping a GLP-1 medicine?” Well, what about cholesterol going up after stopping a statin? What about blood pressure going up after stopping an ACE inhibitor? What about mood worsening after stopping an SSRI? What about blood

Minimizing processed foods is typically a good guideline. But why do you guys feel like you need everything black and white? If a processed food has been repeatedly demonstrated to have health benefits why do you dogmatically cling to this rule? Like use your brain

There has been an idea that ultra-processed foods merely induce an “addictive” effect due to dopamine release. That does not find support in a recent study. Presented by Kevin Hall at #NLASessions

And perhaps the most intriguing data presented by Kevin Hall at #NLASessions: Interim analysis from a fascinating trial suggests UPFs may not inherently drive weight gain; instead, it’s energy density and hyperpalatability of the UPFs that is associated with ad lib energy intake

New research from Unity Health Toronto & University of Toronto shows the Portfolio Diet—rich in plant-based foods—can cut cardiovascular disease risk & lower mortality across age groups. Even moderate adherence helps. Start young, benefit for life. 💚 Meaghan Kavanagh MSc PhD utoronto.ca/news/double-se…

🧠Can you improve your risk now for dementia later in life? Maybe! 🚨New study in JAMA finds between 22% and 44% of dementia cases by 80 years in the ARIC study were attributed to *highly preventable* vascular risk factors (HTN, T2D, smoking). 👇 jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

🚨 Our latest research on the Portfolio Diet was featured by Medscape In this study, published BMC Medicine, we examined the diet’s association with CVD mortality This is 1 of many steps to take RCT evidence beyond LDL-C to real outcomes. From🩸biomarkers to 🫀disease impact!
