We do a deep dive into cardiovascular health from the effects of exercise and training to prevent cardiovascular disease, key heart health biomarkers your need to watch and which ones are genetic vs epigentic-how you can improve them through exercise, food, or old school western medicine. We also talk about Statins, why they get a bad rap, when you need them and why, and how they impact your muscles! We also chat about Dr. Thompsons blog, 500 Rules of Cardiology, where he shares invaluable insights from his vast experience in medicine, research, and teaching. And of course, the exercise and training fueling him for success these days!
