Ep. 08 - Root Cause: Inflammation, Energy & the Modern Heart: Rethinking Heart Health with Cardiologist Dr. Rahul Aggarwal
Description
In this episode of Root Causes, Vibrant Health, Elizabeth sits down with one of South Florida’s most sought-after cardiologists, Dr. Rahul Aggarwal. Known for blending advanced cardiac care with a deeply integrative approach, Dr. Aggarwal breaks down what truly matters when it comes to protecting your heart—and why conventional cholesterol talk often misses the mark.
From the real story behind statins and seed oils to the role of COVID, inflammation, and mitochondrial energy, this episode redefines what cardiovascular health really means.
You’ll hear about:
- Why fat wasn’t the enemy—it was framed
- What really causes heart disease (and why it starts at home, not in your doctor’s office)
- How mitochondrial dysfunction and stress impact cardiovascular outcomes
- The impact of COVID on long-term energy and heart health
- How frequency-based therapies like PEMF and Scalar are helping patients heal
This conversation was so rich, we split it into two parts. This episode focuses on the big picture. Be sure to check out the bonus episode if you’re curious about labs, ApoB, Lp(a), and the latest in cardiovascular meds and testing.
