    Heart Disease Is Stealthy: Why Inflammation Matters More Than Cholesterol

    #42: Heart disease often develops silently for years — and many people don’t realize they’re at risk until a major event happens. In this Part 2 episode, host Aaron Fournier sits down with Dr. Paul Harris to break down how cardiovascular disease really forms, why chronic low-grade inflammation is now considered a central driver (not just cholesterol), and what “stealth” heart disease looks like long before symptoms appear. You’ll learn why 60–70% of heart attack patients can have normal cholesterol, how inflammation damages the endothelial lining of arteries, and why plaque instability — not just plaque presence — is what creates real danger. Dr. Harris explains the step-by-step process of plaque formation (including oxidized LDL, macrophages, and foam cells), how calcification can worsen the situation, and why nitric oxide regulation matters for blood flow, blood pressure, cognition, and overall vascular performance. We also connect major hidden drivers that fuel cardiovascular inflammation, including: Oral health and cardiovascular risk (p. gingivalis) Gut permeability, LPS, and brain inflammation Oxidative stress and “oxidized LDL” Insulin resistance, belly fat, and metabolic inflammation Genetics like APOE variants and cardiovascular risk Finally, Dr. Harris shares proactive testing options that can uncover risk earlier than standard cholesterol panels — including markers like hs-CRP, IL-6, homocysteine, ApoB-related markers, and imaging tools like calcium scoring and CCTA. If you want to understand heart disease before it becomes an emergency — this episode lays out a clearer model for prevention, early detection, and smarter decision-making. 00:00 Introduction 03:12 It’s Not Cholesterol 06:24 Inflammation Markers 09:36 What Causes Inflammation 12:48 Oral Health Link 16:00 Homocysteine + MTHFR 19:12 Bloodwork To Request 22:24 60,000 Miles Vessels 25:36 Paradigm Shift Medicine 28:48 Inflammaging Explained 32:00 Mitochondria + Oxidative 35:12 Fasting + Autophagy 38:24 Oxidized LDL Danger 41:36 Lifestyle Inflammation Triggers 44:48 Gut-Brain-Heart Axis 48:00 Plaque Formation Steps 51:12 Calcium Score Testing 54:24 Advanced Cardio Panel Reach Dr. Harris: Call (918)551-6600, and ask for Debbie or Stephanie Follow Soaak & The Science of Sound Podcast: Website – Soaak Technologies App – Soaak Frequency Therapy Instagram – @thesoaakpodcast Sponsors: Visit soaak.com/app and enter code Soaakpod for your first month free!

  4. Dr. Harris on Nitric Oxide, ED & Vascular Health

    Dr. Harris on Nitric Oxide, ED & Vascular Health

    41: Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States experiences a heart attack. Every 34 seconds, someone dies from cardiovascular disease. In this powerful episode of The Science of Sound, Dr. Harris uncovers why nitric oxide may be one of the most important molecules in the human body — and how a deficiency could be silently impacting your heart, brain, blood pressure, energy levels, and even erectile function (ED). Nitric oxide is far more than a gym supplement buzzword. It is a critical signaling molecule that relaxes and expands blood vessels, improves circulation, enhances oxygen delivery, supports immune defense, regulates inflammation, and plays a central role in memory and cognition. As we age, natural nitric oxide production declines — potentially contributing to hypertension, brain fog, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic dysfunction. Dr. Harris explains why erectile dysfunction is often one of the earliest warning signs of nitric oxide deficiency, sometimes appearing years before more serious cardiac events. The conversation also explores the surprising impact of antibacterial mouthwash, fluoride, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), and low stomach acid on nitric oxide production — and how long-term use of certain medications has been associated with increased risk of heart attack and Alzheimer’s disease. This episode connects heart health, brain health, circulation, inflammation, and performance into one foundational concept. If you care about longevity, cardiovascular resilience, cognitive clarity, or understanding the deeper root causes behind ED and blood pressure issues, this conversation is essential listening. Subscribe for more in-depth discussions on frequency-based wellness, cardiovascular optimization, and the evolving science behind whole-body health. 00:00 Introduction 01:02 Why Heart Disease Still Leads in Deaths 02:02 70% Blocked Arteries With No Symptoms 03:08 Nitric Oxide: The “Super Molecule” Explained 04:00 Mouthwash, Fluoride & Blood Pressure Spike 05:14 How Nitric Oxide Signals Blood Vessel Relaxation 06:12 Memory, Brain Health & Aging Decline 08:16 Erectile Dysfunction as an Early Warning Sign 09:59 The 5–10 Year Window Before a Heart Attack 11:04 The Two Pathways of Nitric Oxide Production 12:22 Why L-Arginine May Backfire 13:40 Endothelial Cells & Aging-Related Decline 15:08 The Diet-Based Backup Pathway 17:16 Low Stomach Acid & Nitric Oxide Deficiency 18:14 PPIs, Heart Attack Risk & Alzheimer’s 20:08 The 3 Essentials for Healthy Nitric Oxide 22:19 High Blood Pressure & Poor Circulation 24:34 Blood Sugar, Fatigue & Hemoglobin 25:43 Brain Fog, Mood & Cognitive Decline 27:22 Inflammation, Immunity & Sleep Disruption   Reach Dr. Harris for information on NEO40 and your Nitric Oxide protocol: Call (918)551-6600, and ask for Debbie or Stephanie   Follow Soaak & The Science of Sound Podcast: Website – Soaak Technologies App – Soaak Frequency Therapy Instagram – @thesoaakpodcast Sponsors: Visit soaak.com/app and enter code Soaakpod for your first month free!

    What You Don’t Know About Alzheimer’s ft. Dr. Harris

    #38: What if Alzheimer’s disease isn’t inevitable? In this powerful episode of The Science of Sound, Dr. Paul Harris breaks down what you don’t know about Alzheimer’s, why millions are at risk earlier than they realize, and the science showing that Alzheimer’s may one day be an optional disease. Nearly 7 million Americans are affected today—and that number will double by 2060—yet most people still believe outdated theories about beta-amyloid plaque being the main cause. Dr. Harris reveals what modern research actually shows: insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, toxins, mold exposure, vascular dysfunction, mitochondrial decline, leaky gut, poor sleep, and genetic factors all play major roles. You’ll learn why Alzheimer’s can begin in your 20s, how glucose hypometabolism starves the brain, the link between insulin and plaque buildup, why gut health predicts cognitive health, and what labs can identify risk decades early. Dr. Harris also explains how fasting, ketogenic strategies, ketone supplements, exercise, and mitochondrial repair can support brain function—plus the surprising tests that reveal inflammation, toxins, heavy metals, and APOE status. If you’re searching for Alzheimer’s prevention, reversal protocols, brain optimization, dementia warning signs, ketogenic brain health, or what REALLY causes Alzheimer’s, this episode is an essential guide. 00:00 Introduction 04:12 What Alzheimer’s Really Is 08:35 The Dementia Umbrella Explained 12:44 Glucose, Brain Fuel, and Early Markers 17:03 The Four Stages of Alzheimer’s 21:25 Insulin Resistance & Type 3 Diabetes 25:36 What Actually Causes Plaque Buildup 29:48 Ketones, Diet, and Brain Energy 34:02 Mitochondria and Brain Degeneration 38:15 Chronic Inflammation & Inflammaging 42:27 Gut Health, LPS, and Leaky Brain 46:51 Toxins, Mold, and Environmental Exposure 51:03 Vascular Dysfunction & Brain Flow 55:28 Hormones, Thyroid, and Cognitive Decline 59:40 Chronic Infections and Neuroinflammation 1:03:22 Sleep, Glymphatic Flow & Brain Cleanup 1:08:14 Genetics, APOE4 & Risk Factors 1:12:48 Testing, Prevention, and Practical Takeaways Reach Dr. Harris: Call (918)551-6600, and ask for Debbie or Stephanie Follow Soaak & The Science of Sound Podcast: Website – Soaak Technologies App – Soaak Frequency Therapy Instagram – @thesoaakpodcast Sponsors: Visit soaak.com/app and enter code Soaakpod for your first month free!
