    Lylah Health, Your Microbiome, and You!

    Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks! Many thanks to Dr. Bilal Ahmed for joining me on Episode #165 of The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner. Dr. Ahmed is a cardiologist and entrepreneur. We began our 30-minute conversation discussing his day-to-day work as a interventional and structural cardiologist, which required five years of fellowship training after completing his internal medicine residency. He was recently recruited to develop the structural cardiology program in Columbus, Georgia. The cardiac procedures that Dr. Bilal has been trained to do can be life-saving! In 2024, in his free time, Dr. Ahmed co-founded Lylah Health with his sister after recognizing a connection between cardiac health and the microbiome. He observed that a supplement containing prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics could lower LDL cholesterol by more than 20%—a result short of a high-intensity statin but comparable to some existing cholesterol-lowering medications. As a practicing cardiologist, he saw the potential health benefits for millions of people. Dr. Ahmed is also writing a book about his journey in medicine, his multigenerational family history, and the life lessons he hopes to share with his young daughter.  To learn more, please go to: www.Lylahhealth.com #microbiome #hearthealth #cardiology #cardiologist @lylahhealth @bilalahmed Please click "Fanmail" and share your feedback!

Many thanks to Deven Greene, retired pathologist and author, for joining me on today’s episode of The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner. Deven started writing while still working full-time, carving out time in the evenings, on weekends, and even during vacation.

Those three books focused on autism, genetic engineering, and pharmaceuticals. Deven hopes that her readers not only enjoy her novels but also learn from them. Today, she is going to tell us why she writes, how she writes, and why you might want to read one of her books! Deven has an MD and a PhD, and she takes great pains to make her fiction fact-based. During our 35-minute discussion, she explained why she chose the pen name, “Deven Greene.” Please join us for this fascinating discussion! Learn the difference between a “plotter” and a “pantser.” Deven provides her take on self-publishing vs traditional publishing, as she’s done both. We also highlight the scourge of scammers that prey on vulnerable writers. Deven is currently working on her 7th novel, “Rhino Wars,” an eco-thriller about rhino poaching.
