In my 50th episode, I talk about how metabolic fitness is important and how it is linked to the majority of patients brought into emergency departments everyday. These can be prevented if only everyone follows the right nutrition. A huge burden on health can be reduced if people reverse their conditions which is not going to take place by popping medicines.

Strengthened my resolve to educate more people regarding diet and nutrition. This is just a snippet into how I reversed my metabolic age. There's a lot more to talk about and I look forward to it in 2024. Happy New Year.

Calling the cardiologist unnecessarily from the ED for every little raised troponin is one of my pet peeves. In this episode, I discuss what troponins are and what are the conditions in which they shoot up. Don't just believe me. Do your own research too.

A lot of people have misconceptions regarding cholesterols and their blood work and the need for medications. In this episode I have attempted to bust some myths and point the people towards the right direction. You can go through the research and do your own to come to your own conclusions and choices obviously. 1. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27618496/ 2. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27617709/ 3. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27292972/ 4. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34684304/ 5. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764414/ 6. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26339496/ 7. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27071971/ 8. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8881926/ 9. https://meddocsonline.org/annals-of-epidemiology-and-public-health/the-LDL-paradox-higher-LDL-cholesterol-is-associated-with-greater-longevity.pdf 10. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23902788/ 11. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25032333/
