The Dr. Hyman Show · 3 Heart Experts Reveal What Really Prevents Heart Disease · 1 Jul 2026 podcast

Cardiovascular disease is an inflammatory process, that it's not just about cholesterol, but there's ongoing inflammation.

But we know that 80% of cases of heart disease and diabetes may actually be preventable with diet and lifestyle.

Yeah, again, this is another one of those conditions that the debate is, well, it's in my family, so I'm doomed to get it.

But we know that 80% of cases of heart disease and diabetes may actually be preventable with diet and lifestyle.

And despite that really powerful message, fewer than 3% of the U.S.

population is meeting the core four basic characteristics that predict low risk.

And it's a pretty low bar mark.

It's not smoking.

Getting the minimum recommended 150 minutes of exercise a week.

Eating in the top two quintiles of what's considered a whole foods diet and having a healthy body fat percentage.

Fewer than 3%.

I still find that shocking.

Well, of course, it's inflammation.

I mean, you and I were working together back at Canyon Ranch when that pivotal study came out.

I think it's been 21 years now.

Peter Libby and Paul Ritker showing that cardiovascular disease is an inflammatory process, that it's not just about cholesterol, but there's ongoing inflammation.

And as you've talked about many times on this podcast...

inflammation is not, it's also a symptom that it can come from a lot of different places because in our paper, our local paper, when that article came back out, I don't know if you remember this, it said President Bush's doctors measured his CRP, which is the common marker of inflammation, and they don't know what to do about it.

So it's one thing to say, well, we know inflammation matters.

It's another one entirely.
