Is your healthy diet secretly increasing your risk of heart disease?
Have you ever wondered why certain conditions often occur in clusters, such as high blood pressure, blood sugar imbalance, and high cholesterol?
These “constellations” of chronic illness often have a single hidden cause. Today, Dr. Z is joined by New York Times bestselling author and biochemist Dr. Cyrus Khambatta to uncover the real cause behind it...insulin resistance. It doesn’t just lead to diabetes. It’s driving heart attack, stroke, fatty liver, Alzheimer’s (Type 3 Diabetes), and more.
This groundbreaking conversation delves into the impact of high-fat diets on your health. Dr. Cyrus explains why low-fat, plant-based nutrition works for reversing insulin resistance, how free radicals contribute to aging and chronic disease, and what makes amla the world’s most powerful antioxidant food.
You'll Learn:
How Insulin Resistance Fuels Heart Disease
Truth About Cholesterol, LDL & Statins
Why Most Keto Diets Backfire
How Amla (Indian Gooseberry) Regenerates Cells
Antioxidants Are the Key to Longevity
If you’re ready for a faith-rooted path to long-term disease prevention, this episode has natural strategies to reduce your risk of death from all causes.
Praying for you to live the abundant life,
Dr. Z + Mama Z
