It's just an anecdote. You can say that if you want. I prefer to say this really rubs up against the status quo. Yes, at a population level, this person is an outlier. Don't you want to know why they're an outlier? Don't you want to know what makes them resistant? Because once you figure that out, that's the seed of a solution that could generalize to more people. So I love studying the outliers.

This whole population is a population of outliers, but that's what makes them so cool to study and why we have so much to learn from them.

Obviously, the caveat here is I'm not a medical doctor, at least not for a couple months. I'm a PhD researcher, and I'm talking about my interpretation of the data. At the end of the day, talk to your physician, think about this thoroughly. But with that said, I think I can say the data is showing more and more that the best thing you can do is look for plaque.

You can get a functional test, be that a coronary artery calcium scan, a CAC, which are pretty cheap and widely available. I know I've heard places you can get them for like 75 bucks or maybe 150 bucks. And it's a pretty good risk predictor. of whether or not you'll develop plaque later on in life.

If you want more details on the different tests available, so there's one coronary artery calcium scan that looks at calcium in the blood. Sorry, not calcium in the blood. Calcified plaques. And another one called coronary CT angiography, which looks at soft plaques as well as calcified plaques. That one's... more detailed, you could say, but a little bit more radiation.

If you want the pros and cons of those, I'll actually direct people to a video. There's a group, Metabolic Mind. They have a YouTube channel, and I'm sure you know the cardiologist, Dr. Brett Scher, a friend of mine. He did a dedicated video on CAC versus CCTA scanning. That is great.

He's a board-certified cardiologist, so if people want the details, I'd say you can get functional testing of your heart You can check out that video if you're actually interested in the pros and cons of the different tests. But, key point, you can look in your heart and see if you have plaque correction.
