In this anticipated episode, I have the honor of sitting down with board-certified cardiologist, Dr. Jack Wolfson to discuss the TRUTH about heart disease and overall heart health. In a world where we're unfortunately and largely dependent on a system that's failed millions, Dr. Jack's focus is to deeply educate the public and his patients on why the conventional approach to cardiac health is hindering and often dangerous. He has gone to extreme lengths to share credible research and in-depth information, and passionately shares solutions that are geared towards healthier hearts and healthier lifestyles.

Summary of what is discussed:

  • Why did Dr. Jack switch and move away from conventional practice?
  • Why is heart disease and heart conditions more prevalent today than ever before?
  • What are the real causes of heart disease and subpar heart health?
  • Do genetics really play as big of a role as they say?
  • What are the risks of blood pressure medications?
  • What is the truth about cholesterol?
  • Why has cholesterol been so vilified?
  • What are the risks of statin drugs?
  • Would there be any conditions in which you'd recommend pharmaceuticals?
  • What should we be eating for hearth health?
  • What are Dr. Jack's thoughts on the FDA food pyramid?
  • What about the vegan diet, gluten, alcohol?
  • What about conventional testing/CT scans for heart health?
