ROBERT CYWES M.D., PhD, ERIN SMITH PSYCHNP and SHERYL FOX RD ARE clinical PRACTITIONERS in Florida and COVER THE ENTIRE USA AND WORLD VIA TELEHEALTH. Our mission is to educate and treat CARBOHYDRATE ADDICTION in obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Replacing carbs with REAL FOOD while simultaneously replacing carbs as a toxic, harmful response to emotional tension with a diverse healthy set of emotion management tools for lifelong sustainability of mental and physical health, happiness and well-being. Converting people from toxic sugar burners to healthy fat (keto) burners while addressing the CAUSE of addiction to carbs from an emotion management perspective. Sometimes using medications such as GLP-1 agonists and obesity surgery/devices to help people including those who have had bariatric surgery.
Set up a consultation if you are looking for sustainable ways to treat obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, cholesterol and thyroid disease. If you need bloodwork/physician confirmation or if you are considering or struggling after Bariatric Surgery we can assist.
We can order bloodwork and Coronary Artery Calcium Scores as part of a consultation.

I am living proof (thank God) of the risks associated with heart cath Dr Ovadia spoke of. Back in 2018, after being diagnosed with congestive heart failure, my cardiaologist ordered a cath. A day and a half after the cath, I suffered a stroke. Being in a rural area, I was taken to Denver on an air ambulance. Thanks to the care there, I walked out of that hospital 4 days later with little lingering effects. Everything cleared up in a week. The risks are real.

[@sbag11]

I have heard others indicate (Dr. Ford Brewer, for one) that calcium is the indication of a stable plaque, that the most dangerous plaques are the soft ones that haven't calcified yet, and that because of this a CAC score can increase due to plaque stabilization. Would love to hear these doctors address that, specifically.

[@lisabroman3333]

Exactly, I was wondering about this as well!

[@trail.blazer]

It is well established that what you have described is correct. Most people that have calcification will still have some soft plaques. It is common for the CAC score to subsequently increase after treatment begins, which is generally a good thing. Some people have then been able to reduce their CAC scores and attempting that should be after calcification has increased together with that stabilisation. Treatment can include diet, lifestyle, supplements and/or medications.

[@megbeller7981]

[@wellinever1558]

I also know that the calcified plaque can crack and release or cause a clot.

[@sbag11]

I'm 6 month carnivore. I was in an ICU ward because of status epelepticus. It took about 3 days or more for a neurologist to wake me up. During that time I had a heart attack. My body was over using energy while unconscious and my body was temporarily paralyzed probably because of how the over use of energy being used. I was told I'm lucky to be alive and that while still unconscious at the start the neurologist said if I will ever get to wake up my brain would be in a state of a vegetable. Would it definitely be the status epelepticus that caused the heart attack not the LDL? I was prescribed a statin but refused to take it. Because my triglycerides are low I'm happy with the result but they want me on statins. They can throw their statins in the rubbish bin!

My belief was that if you put two cac scans side by side a year or 2 apart the main aim is to not have any new plaques formed, in most instances the plaques will increase no matter how good your diet is. Ford brewer sees plaque increasing and many others who look at all these scans regularly. Arthur Agaston also says not creating new plaques in different areas is the goal.

[@deanjericevic8912]

I have a calcium score of 175 & was put on a statin. I am going back a year later after reducing carbs & diet sugars for another CAC score test to look for improvement. Informative & insightful, I leant a lot! Low carb diet bring down insulin resistance & hence inflamation then reduce the plaque in arterial walls & hence calcification reduction.

[@selenataylor6959]

Don't be surprised if your CAC score actually increases. You were doing damage for a very long time before you started making healthy changes. So there may be a lot of healing to be done in the was of plaque being calcified. My CAC was 34 after one year of keto. I had high expectations when I did a followup CAC 4 years later but my score was 144.

I'm desperate for Dr. Cywes, Dr. Ovadia or another like-minded doctor to talk about statins for people with significant CVD/plaque build up. I need to have a triple bypass. The damage has already been done. I desperately don't want to take the high dose statins. I want to go healthy, low carb diet and eliminate the inflammation. I don't know what to do.

They both consult privately. Call their offices for an appointment.

What is your opinion on nattokinase and French maritime bark helping with clearing arteries? I take a product with this combo (VenoFlow) …

My father, all of his life, had what doctors say perfect LDL, HDL on the high side and triglycerides. He was never overweight, maintaining a weight from 17 yrs of age until his death in his 70s , with an ejection fraction of 61%. But in his 40s , he experiences shortness of breath. It's a good thing he went straight to the ER.... he was about to have a deadly heart attack, four blockage all on the left side , 98 blockage in the widow maker. Requiring quadruple bypass. My mother has what doctors say had very bad cholesterol, high triglycerides, fatty liver (no, never drank alcohol in her life), and diabetes. In her 70s, a blockage right side artery, requiring a stein 🤷‍♀️

Lots of (low carb) food for thought!

We need a part two. Thank you.

This says a ton about how backasswards our medical system has become. I discovered my high CAC score by going out on my own to get it done, no physician recommendation because I am metabolically healthy, not overweight at all, and have always been quite active with hard physical labor for work. Anyway, so I wanted to find out more after getting the CAC, but the ONLY thing the Dr. advised was the statin and baby aspirin. So I said no to the statin and because of that the Dr. WILL NOT TEST FURTHER. Well, I was kinda shocked. It’s like, take a statin or simply be left wondering if i have soft plaque that might cause a problem. It’s crazy that I’m TRYING to help myself before I have a heart attack and the so called cardiologist experts I’ve seen instantly just go to the pharmacy. I guess I’ll try to get a CTA exam on my own too. Very frustrating and scary when I can’t even rely on the Dr. to initiate any further testing 😢 TAKE A STATIN OR HIT THE ROAD-LUDICROUS!!!

You have gotten labeled as "noncompliant". And the medical team chooses to maintain their ignorance and being virtuous. I got my doc to confront science literature challenging his bias. He will test me, but discuss with me the ratios, CAC scores, carotid scores.

[@rosanapessanha5347]

Frustating too, we are abandoned by the system. Of course, doctors like on this podcast cost 3500 for an hour in Florida, i called.

So if we don't blame saturated fat for heart disease, what about things like Peripheral Artery Disease in say the legs in a non diabetic non smoker. I say non diabetic but most everybody with a SAD diet would have some measurable degree of diabetes eventually.

[@FrankWings]

That is correct. You may not be diabetic, but if you keep a SAD diet, and keep on eating carbohydrates, you will have insulin resistance. That will be the main metabolic factor for cardiovascular disease

[@VeronicaClauzel]

The nhs needs a kick up the proverbial for not giving preventative advice

[@rmohamed786]

Surprised time restricted eating wasn’t discussed here in addition to low carb diet as an effective strategy for improving insulin resistance

[@lynnwilliams5432]

Watch Dave Mac with Brett excellent in reducing his heart disease markers.

[@robertcywes2966]

Beware that marker reduction is not always disease reduction
