For people that don't know this, it's a form of imaging which looks at coronary calcium, nothing to do with diet. which is a marker of inflammation and buildup of plaque or fatty deposits, if you like, within the arteries. And it correlates also, it gives a very accurate representation, Megan, of your risk of a heart attack or stroke in the next decade.

But what's interesting is, and certainly with my patients and what the literature tells us, if you look at it properly, is that this is potentially reversible. And of course, in the film, First Uno Farm, without giving too much away,

You know, we end up going to India to meet a cardiologist who for well over 20 years and has published on this has been actually reversing the blockages within the arteries, which most doctors and I can tell you almost every cardiologist will not even think is possible. So he's done that for a combination of lifestyle. But the most important factor from his research that actually doesn't.

cause the reduction in the blockages which i think is fascinating is actually through meditation and and this can be explained and this is it's really interesting so chronic stress is established as a risk factor for heart disease the same as being a smoker or having high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes okay but most of us are not really dealing with it properly and the process involved is a

If you look from an evolutionary perspective, acute stress obviously can be life-saving. But from an evolutionary perspective, if we were in a jungle and we're running away from a tiger, for example, when you're under a state of acute stress, the body releases clotting factors and inflammatory factors.

So that if we were attacked by that tiger, we are not going to bleed to death or it's going to reduce our risk of bleeding to death. Let's put it that way. Now, this is chronically going on in the body at a low grade when people are stressed, you know, chronically stressed. And that's how it damages the heart arteries.

And heart disease itself, again, for many years was thought to be a fixed issue. You develop a blockage and like a clog pipe, it gradually gets worse over time. And at some point, you're going to have a heart attack. But this is not true. We know now that it's a dynamic process. So it can be reversed, Megan.
