The evidence is growing that suggest that microplastics, or more specifically smaller nanoplastics, are triggers for atherosclerotic disease with increased risk for heart attack, stroke, and death. While your doctor wastes your time and money obsessing about cholesterol and statin drugs that should have been discarded decades ago, you need to address the REAL factors that cause heart disease. Add nanoplastics to that list. Thankfully, you can begin to make an impact on your ingestion o...

The crime is not having type 2 diabetes. The crime is that conventional forces in healthcare essentially turn a blind eye to all the ways available to NOT be a type 2 diabetic. Pharmaceutical executives throw lavish parties to celebrate the huge revenues that derive from diabetes drugs that now include the awful GLP-1 agonists, while almost no one in healthcare shows people how to not be diabetic--THAT's the crime.

There's one truly helpful value on a standard cholesterol panel: triglycerides. Ironically, it's also the value most likely to be ignored or mismanaged because the doctor wastes your time by focusing on the useless total and LDL cholesterol values, having been brainwashed by the flawed science and pharmaceutical marketing. Here is WHY triglycerides are so important, HOW you can reduce your value to the very important level of 60 mg/dl or less without resorting to the use of any pharmac...

My 30+ years of involvement with CT heart scans and coronary calcium scores has yielded many important lessons on how to halt, then reverse, the accumulation of coronary atherosclerotic plaque and thereby risk for heart attack, need for heart procedures, and sudden cardiac death.

But long-term, unhealthy changes in health will develop: eventual weight regain, increased risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, dementia, frailty. And thare are now sufficient data to tell us that you also cut your life short by several years. The key: NEVER engage in any of these methods. If you have, there are steps you can take to co...

Many people take probiotics in the hopes that it will help reduce gastrointestinal struggles with excessive gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation and other common complaints. Sometimes they help, sometimes they don’t. But why? Just what are probiotics and how are they created? In this episode of the Defiant Health podcast, let’s discuss the ups and downs of commercial probiotics, why they are really little more than haphazard collections of microbes assembled without rhyme or reason. Th...

Millions of people have been persuaded that the GLP-1 agonist drugs are the answer to their weight loss prayers. While they do work well in the near-term for weight loss, the long-term health price you pay is substantial with a future of increased risk for frailty, loss of independence, and premature death. A better way is to manage the amount and location of muscle and fat, i.e., shape and body composition. And you can do so easily, naturally, and inexpensively. Support the show...
