In this episode of The Functional & Integrative Medicine Podcast for Providers, host Ginger Allen welcomes America’s Healthy Heart Doctor, Dr. Joel Kahn — a globally recognized integrative cardiologist, author, and founder of the Kahn Center for Cardiac Longevity.

Dr. Kahn shares his powerful journey from conventional cardiology to leading the field of integrative cardiovascular medicine. With over three decades of experience and a deep commitment to lifestyle-based prevention, Dr. Kahn discusses how functional medicine tools, advanced lab testing, and plant-forward nutrition can not only prevent but reverse heart disease.

You’ll learn:

• The root causes of heart disease most doctors overlook — including lipoprotein(a), homocysteine, and TMAO

• The non-traditional lab tests Dr. Kahn runs on every patient

• His thoughts on statins, supplements, and deprescribing medications safely

• A real-world case study of a patient who reversed the need for bypass surgery through nutrition and functional medicine

• Why a whole food plant-based diet is the foundation of cardiac longevity

• The business challenges and rewards of running a cash-based integrative practice

• Actionable advice for providers wanting to move into functional medicine, including authenticity, mentorship, and continuous learning

Dr. Kahn’s mission is bold: to prevent a million heart attacks — one patient, one plate, and one protocol at a time. Whether you’re an MD, DO, NP, or health coach, this episode is packed with insight for anyone passionate about reversing chronic disease through root cause cardiology.
