Reversing Plaque? Why Heart Disease Is Actually Metabolic | Dr Anthony Jay
About this episode
Dr. Anthony Jay discusses the metabolic causes of heart disease and critiques mainstream cardiology practices.
On the Evolving Wellness podcast, host Sarah interviews returning guest Dr. Anthony Jay (PhD biochemistry; former Mayo Clinic researcher) about his book Sugar Beat: How Sugar, Not Cholesterol, Destroys Arteries and his broader critique of mainstream cardiology. Jay cites a 28,000-person study where insulin resistance had the highest heart-attack hazard ratio (6.4) versus hypertension (2.2), triglycerides (2.1), and LDL (1.38), arguing doctors overemphasize cholesterol while neglecting insulin and HOMA-IR. He claims statins increase arterial calcification and diabetes risk, criticizes organizations like the American Heart Association, and disputes fears around LDL, ApoB, and Lp(a), describing them as fat-transport/oxidation-related. Jay recommends focusing on metabolic health, diet and fasting to promote fat burning and plaque reversal, cautions about processed foods and mislabeled oils, discusses CAC vs CCTA imaging variability, and notes genetic nuances such as iron-related risk and sitosterolemia. — Connect with Dr. Anthony Jay website - https://www.ajconsultingcompany.com/ YT - https://www.youtube.com/@dranthonyjay Books: Sugar Beat - https://amzlink.to/az0hIdy8AMV03…
