(0:00:00) – Leaving Traditional Cardiology (6 Minutes)
My journey of becoming a board certified cardiologist and watching my father die from progressive super nuclear palsy has been a difficult one. I was introduced to a new approach to medicine, one that focused on going after the cause of disease, by a woman. This ultimately led me to leave the big cardiology group and start my own company Natural Heart Doctor, which is now the nation’s number one natural heart doctor. I also discuss how the pharmaceutical companies have co-opted medical education, and how DOs often practice the same pharmaceutical-based model as MDs.
(0:06:21) – Challenging Traditional Medical Practices (8 Minutes)
Having seen my father succumb to progressive supranuclear palsy, I discuss the lack of medical understanding of what leads to disease, and how the pharmaceutical industry controls the medical system. It’s been proven that doctors can be bought for the price of a plastic pen, and there’s no training in nutrition or healthy lifestyle choices. We are committed to replacing modern cardiovascular medicine with root cause medicine, which involves viewing any diagnosis through the lens of eat well, live well, think well.
(0:14:41) – Paleo Diet Health Benefits (6 Minutes)
From my experience of becoming a cardiologist and seeing my father pass away from progressive supranuclear palsy, I understand how pharmaceuticals can provide a false sense of security and fail to address the root cause of illnesses. Heart disease is still the number one killer worldwide, and we are seeing younger and younger people with cardiovascular issues. To prevent these issues, we must take proactive steps to eat well, live well, and think well. To do this, I recommend a paleo diet that includes grass-fed meats, wild seafood, eggs, nuts, seeds, vegetables, and fruits. Dairy can be an occasional treat, but our ancestors did not have milk. Avoiding processed and artificial foods is also key.
(0:20:53) – Pharma Control and Medical Training (10 Minutes)
I grew up with an understanding of the impact of pharmaceuticals in medicine. I was taught to write prescriptions for patients, regardless of the potential risks and rewards. But the truth is, pharmaceuticals are a massive industry, worth $1.5 trillion. The medical industry has allowed this to happen, incentivizing doctors to prescribe medications and rewarding them for doing so. Pharmaceutical companies have controlled the system, making doctors hesitant to try something different.
