This episode discusses the cause of heart attacks and strokes and key metabolic markers to prevent cardiovascular events. In this episode, Dr Cywes discusses the two main causes of heart attacks and strokes and explains why early recognition is critical for prevention.

We also discuss how early screening at age 40 (or earlier) is important to ensure you are not at risk, including simple screening tests. We discuss the role of cholesterol and LDL cholesterol and its function in the body, as well as saturated fat, and why fat is essential for healing inflammation, and preventing heart disease.

Dr Cywes also shares why a high fat Ketogenic Diet or Carnivore diet is optimal for the heart, hormones and your over health, and why consuming too much protein in the form of animal meat can be dangerous.

This episode is important if you want to know the true causes of heart disease and stroke and for those who seek to optimise their heart and cardiovascular function. You will learn the science of what causes inflammation in the heart, and simple dietary strategies to prevent heart disease and strokes.
