    Reverse Aging with These Hacks | Dr. james Krystosik | The Other SIde of Medicine Podcast

    In this episode of The Other Side of Medicine, Dr. James Krystosik explores two powerful scientific discoveries that could dramatically influence longevity and cardiovascular health. First, he reveals groundbreaking research on the gut microbiome, the trillions of microbes living inside your digestive system that scientists now believe may be one of the strongest regulators of how fast we age. Dr. Krystosik explains how people who live the longest often have unique gut bacteria that help reduce inflammation, support metabolic health, strengthen the immune system, and protect the body from age-related disease. He also discusses the concept of "inflammaging," the chronic low-grade inflammation that accelerates conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and cognitive decline—and how a healthy microbiome may help control it. You'll also learn the lifestyle habits researchers consistently see in long-living populations, including the role of high-fiber diets, fermented foods, regular movement, reduced medication use, and stress management in maintaining microbial diversity and supporting healthy aging. In the second part of the episode, Dr. Krystosik dives into new research on nattokinase, a natural enzyme derived from fermented soybeans that studies suggest may help reduce arterial plaque and support healthy blood flow. He compares this natural approach to commonly prescribed statin drugs and explains how nattokinase may influence blood clotting, triglycerides, and overall cardiovascular health. This episode connects the dots between gut health, inflammation, longevity, and heart health, revealing how lifestyle and natural strategies may support the body's ability to heal and protect itself over time.

    Carbs Bad? Fat Good? Think Again You're being lied to about saturated fat

    In this explosive episode of The Other Side of Medicine, Dr. James Krystosik pulls back the curtain on one of the most dangerous nutrition myths spreading across the internet today — that carbs are evil and saturated fat is your friend. Influencers chasing clicks are telling millions of people that bacon, butter, and fatty steaks are "health foods," while demonizing carbohydrates. But where's the science? While a handful of cherry-picked studies suggest saturated fat may be harmless, tens of thousands of peer-reviewed studies link high saturated fat intake to elevated cholesterol, high blood pressure, arterial damage, heart attacks, and premature death. And now, even the revised food pyramid trends dangerously in that direction — contradicting decades of well-documented research proving that long-term excess saturated fat is a prescription for cardiovascular disaster. As I often say, research can be manipulated when the right price is paid. But truth leaves a trail of consistent evidence. In this episode, I challenge the viral narrative and separate hype from hard science. Not all carbs are created equal — there are "carbs from heaven" and "carbs from hell." But promoting saturated fat as a health food is a dangerous road. Your heart is too important to gamble on internet trends. Let's follow the science — not the influencers.
