    135. Revolutionizing Heart Health: A Cardiologist on the Truth Behind Cholesterol and Diet

    135. Revolutionizing Heart Health: A Cardiologist on the Truth Behind Cholesterol and Diet

    In this episode of the Go Hard Chick podcast, Dr. William Davis, M.D., a cardiologist and New York Times bestselling author, shares his journey from conventional interventional cardiology to a more holistic approach to heart health.  Dr. Davis shared his personal journey, which was significantly influenced by the sudden cardiac death of his mother shortly after a successful coronary procedure. This event led him to explore and eventually advocate for preventive measures outside the conventional medical practices.



    Dr. Davis introduces us to the concept of the Milwaukee Heart Scan, a diagnostic tool that measures the amount of plaque in arteries and predicts potential heart attacks years before they might occur. He emphasizes the limitations of traditional treatments like statins and low-fat diets, which he argued do not effectively stop the progression of heart disease. Instead, Dr. Davis advocates
    for a more comprehensive approach that includes dietary changes, identifying and managing the real causes of heart disease through advanced testing like NMR lipoprotein testing, and addressing vitamin D deficiencies.



    A significant part of our discussion also revolved around the coronary calcium score, a test that Dr. Davis feels is underutilized in medical practice due to its low cost and lack of profitability for hospitals. He explained how this
    test could provide crucial early warnings for heart disease risk.



    Dr. Davis also touched on broader health issues, including the detrimental effects of modern wheat consumption, the importance of gut health, and the potential dangers of popular diabetes medications like Ozempic and Wegovy. He explained how these drugs could lead to muscle loss and subsequent weight gain post-treatment, worsening patients' overall health.



    This episode is packed with critical insights on preventive health care, the importance of dietary choices, and the need for a shift in how we manage and understand chronic diseases. Dr. Davis's expertise and innovative approaches to cardiology and overall health provided our listeners with valuable information to consider and potentially implement in their health routines.

Dr. Bilstrom discusses its reversibility through proper treatment and addressing underlying factors such as gut health, cortisol levels, infections, food sensitivities, vitamin deficiencies, hormone imbalances, and environmental toxins.
