Enjoying this better format for your videos, Dr Brewer. Concise, direct and informative as opposed to a sometimes rambling "off into the weeds" style. I can understand this occurring occasionally albeit unintentionally, though. Perhaps short videos that get right to the point, as this one does so well and effectively, will have a greater impact in dissemination of this critically important information. Additionally, the accompanying text was very good and useful for emphasizing your talking points. Your open mindedness, courage and compassion to go beyond the standard medical establishment fare is deeply appreciated and greatly respected. Please produce more videos in this new style. Wishing you excellent health, always.

Thank you very much. As you see, this is an experiment with a new style. (As many know, many of your points are going back to an old style - the old “shaky paper” days. Except this time with more planning & better technology. We are also working on wording with less medical jargon.

Short vids may be the ticket for viewers who have a “history” with Dr. Brewer. Someone introduced to Prevmed for the first time, might think, “O.K. Just one more guy cranking out content like this.” But if you have been following Ford Brewer for awhile, long enough to know his story, his motivations, his bona-fides, and how he chose this path, you watch these videos through a different lens. Pilots use “flash cards” with bullet points to summarize the three or four critical elements of certain procedures. Chris Hatfield, a space shuttle commander, would distill countless pages to a single page. Neither flash cards or one page from a looseleaf binder replaced hours of classroom instruction. For those who get the Prevmed message, a short video may be enough. But for the first-time viewer, I think the longer tutorials are needed to drive home the fact that Dr. Brewer is a special breed of cat.

I had a body fuel profile done at my cardiologists office. It was great to see where I my heart rate burns fat then switches to burning more carbs. My optimal HR when exercising is between 116-126. Crazy since I used to try and maintain a HR of 134. Family history: Father had first heart attack at age 37. Second and fatal one at 41yo. I’m 57, don’t smoke and drastically changed my eating habits almost 2 years ago. All blood work looks great. Cholesterol went from 204 to 138. My cardiologist wants my LDL below 60. It’s currently 72. Keep up the informative videos!

[@brooksreed9609]

Markers that indicate inflammation: elevated/high blood pressure first and foremost, high CRP, elevated homocysteine, elevated cortisol How to fix: balance circadian rhythm: early sunlight in eyes, feet on the ground, deep breaths 2 highly dense nutritious meals that meet protein requirements. Lower carb intake below 80g a day Fixing mineral/vitamin imbalances via dna and blood testing, most people deficient in vitamin D, vitamin A, magnesium, iodine, b12, folate. Sleep 8 hours Phase 1,2,3 exercise, stretch, meditation Eliminate external stressors if possible

[@regular-joe]

Thsnk you for 5hat detailed reply. I'm assuming that other areas that suffer inflammation - joints, for example - don't do so alone, but also indicate likely inflammation throughout body.

[@joeordinary209]

Life style change is the solution, sometimes you also need statins to help. Its basically rather simple, how much you eat, what you eat, how much You exercise. Basically you need to work on all of these. Carbohydrates, sugar speaks,insuline resistance need to be carefully monitored when we age, they are also probably the biggest reason for inflamation. I used to believe i had a healthy nutrition scheme/ life style ( bmi 24-25) until they found soft plague in a CT scan. I had carefully avoided fat and high energy food, but missed the carb part. My LDL was still a bit high, and did not understood why.

I have been told that the calcium score will tell you how much plaque is in the artery, it just doesn't tell you where it is. I'm hoping the Doctor can confirm this. My score is higher and I have no symptoms, and my inflammation markers are good. As a result, my cardiologist said he will not do an angiogram on me.

It’s been known for more than a hundred years that carbohydrate intolerance can skyrocket within two days on a ketogenic diet. On a high-fat diet, blood sugar response can be nearly double what it may be on a high-carb diet. Just one high-saturated-fat meal can make carbohydrate intolerance, the cause of diabetes, worse within only four hours. The claim by some keto proponents that the diet can “reverse” diabetes is because type 2 diabetics may be able to be weaned off their insulin. However, a true diabetes reversal diet is nearly the opposite of a keto one: getting people with diabetes off their insulin within a matter of weeks by eating more than 300 daily grams of carbs.

My CAC score is 4 and I have minimal diffuse soft plaquing in my LAD and minimal in my proximal RCA. My diet wasn'tthe best over the years but have gone plant based recently since this was a wake up call. My colesterol was always 100-140 (high). My HDL used to be in the 90s, now its 51. My tris were always healthy and in range. My cardiologist doesn't seemed too worried at all but I am. Doctor hasn't put me on a statin yet. Am I over-reacting or will a plant based diet and continued exercise be enough? Can running long distances and doing 5% of my training at max heart rate interval training to improve Vo2max be adding to this inflammation and plaque? Curious what you have to say.

Could the K2 possibly loosen the plague and cause a stroke or heart attack?

But specifically, I wanted to know how high homocysteine levels contribute to plaque formation in the arterial blood vessels.

What is the "PRIMARY" cause of INSULIN RESISTANCE? It may not be "Carb" Overload". I read a long time ago that the Omeg-6 to Omega-3 ratio should be not more than 3, ideally. It is estimated that the actual ratio today with prevalence of nut and seed oil use in fast foods is 30 to 1. Since it is virtually impossible to eat more than 2g of EPA, and DHA, I suggest that humans should eat no more than 6 g of Omega6 fatty acids from all sources, or approximately one teaspoon per day!!! The insulin receptors are made up of both Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. Is this imbalance along with deficiency in Omega-3 leading to damage to the Insulin Receptors? "Carb" overload may not really be the primary cause? I say this, because my body responded readily to a low-carb diet, dropping my weight from 245 to 175 in less than 18 months, and another 30 lb since. My weight has been steady at 145 lb for more than 4 years. And supplementing with fish oil capsules, did the rest. My fasting insulin dropped from 11 two years ago to 6 in 23 months. I am quite certain that I was diabetic, despite never having been treated for it. How do I know? I have an old blood test from 15 years ago which shows a the Triglyceride level to be 230. Why family physicians refuse to order the fasting Insulin test is a mystery to me. Without it. I could not calculate my HOMA-IR. It is now 1.3, down from 2.4 two years ago.
