How Blood Sugar and Metabolism Predict Heart Attacks Years Before Symptoms

Welcome back to Lower the Dose! In this episode, host and endocrinologist Dr. Rangi dives into an often-overlooked connection: how your metabolism can predict heart attacks, long before any symptoms show up in your arteries. We usually think of heart disease as something to do with cholesterol or family history, but as you’ll hear today, the earliest warning signs often come not from your heart, but from subtle shifts in your blood sugar, hormones, and even your sleep patterns. Dr. Rangi breaks down the idea of the “silent decade” the years when your body starts whispering about future troubles, if only you know how to listen. You’ll learn about the early metabolic signals that most doctors miss, why normal cholesterol isn’t the whole story, and how things like belly fat, sugar swings, and chronic stress stack up to put you at higher risk. Plus, practical tips you can use right away to start protecting your heart, long before you ever need a cardiologist. If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s more you could be doing to stay ahead of heart disease, you won’t want to miss this conversation.

Welcome back to Lower the Dose, the podcast where we dig below the surface of metabolic health. In this episode, host Dr. Dr. Rangi to unravels one of the most overlooked but powerful drivers of blood sugar and overall wellness: stress. You’ll learn why stress isn’t just “all in your head”it’s a physiological force that triggers real, measurable changes in your body, from blood sugar spikes to hormone surges, regardless of what you eat. Dr. Dr. Rangi breaks down the biology of stress, explaining how the “hidden hormone” cortisol works as both a protector in short bursts and a saboteur when it lingers too long.
