He just came out having one of the world's top lipidologists on the podcast, and they went over his clearly scam.

And he, surprisingly, I don't know if you saw this episode, had a lot more blockage and soft plaque than he thought he should have had.

And it was super important for him because his dad...

Had a cardiac event, and that was what got him into this world in the first place.

Pay attention to your LDL, ApoB, your A1C, and these other markers.

A CGM, if you can do that as well.

Mm-hmm.

Track it over time because there's so many nuances that go into, I mean, you saw it, probably saw it last year.

There was that Italian study that came out that when they went into people's hearts, they saw that the individuals that had the highest levels of microplastics in the heart.

had the highest levels of plaque buildup as well too.

Interesting.

I'll send you the study.

It was a small study, but they were actually going into the heart and looking at the plaque.

And I'll let you chime in over here, but there's so many nuances that play a role.

Absolutely.

But pay attention to your numbers because that is a huge part of prevention.

So to turn that into somebody who's listening and they're like, hey, I'm 40 plus, which is most of my audience, men or women, heart disease, the number one killer.

Do you recommend as a heart surgeon that they get a CT scan?

Do you recommend that they look at an advanced CCTA screening, which is a little bit more expensive and obviously a lot more expensive if you use these companies?
