In this podcast episode, Dr. Ardis talks about arteriosclerosis and heart disease prevention. He mentions that February is arteriosclerosis and heart disease awareness month and shares some stats from the American Journal of Preventative Cardiology. Dr. Ardis shares some of his top products, Cardio Flow and Foreign Protein Cleanse, as natural remedies for these conditions.

He explains what arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis are and how they can lead to serious health issues like heart disease, angina, and chronic kidney disease. Dr. Ardis also discusses the side effects of statin drugs commonly used to treat these conditions, highlighting concerns about memory loss and other symptoms.

Moving on to natural remedies, he mentions various supplements like magnesium, vitamin D, curcumin, and licorice root extract, which have shown promise in treating arteriosclerosis. Dr. Ardis also talks about some research findings regarding the reversal of atherosclerosis in animals through certain supplements.

The conversation then shifts to global economic alliances, with a focus on the BRICS bloc and their efforts to de-dollarize global trade. There's some discussion about the potential implications of this move, including concerns about communism and socialism.

Buck provides ways to prevent getting deep venous thrombosis during long flights and drives. Deep Venous thrombosis refers to clots in the deep veins of the legs that can break free and cause a life threatening emergency called pulmonary embolism which represents blood clots in the arteries of the lungs. 

In this episode we will discuss Congenital Heart Defects with Derek Canas, AKA "D-Rek" 

Some infants are born with the Great Arteries, (those attaching directly to the heart) in opposite positions, this is called Transposition.  Transposition of the great arteries changes the way blood circulates through the body, leaving a shortage of oxygen in blood flowing from the heart to the rest of the body. Without an adequate supply of oxygen-rich blood, the body can't function properly and your child faces serious complications or death without treatment.  Listen now to hear D-Rek's story!  

Over 60-million Americans suffer from some form of cardiovascular disease, but nobody is doomed by genetics or habits to a bad heart.

There are strategies you can adopt at any time in your life to avoid heart disease.  But the sooner you begin, the better.

Hint: No matter what you've heard, cholesterol and fats aren't the problem.

This week we sit down with Ricky Barrett, a PhD candidate at the University of Central Florida (UCF).  Ricky researches the poorly understood role of immune cells like macrophages in fat metabolism.  The immune system isn't just for protecting against infections- it is a key regulator of metabolism and is often overlooked!  We discuss all of this in the context of atherosclerosis, which can cause chest pain, heart attacks or even stroke!

You can find Ricky on social media @rickbarr21 on instagram, or u/rickbarr21 on reddit.  He is active in most immunology subreddits!
