Rethinking Heart Disease | Dr. Tom Cowan
About this episode
Dr. Ben Edwards and Dr. Tom Cowan discuss unconventional views on heart disease and the importance of reconnecting with natural elements for health.
Dr. Ben Edwards sits down with Dr. Tom Cowan, physician, author of Human Heart, Cosmic Heart, and one of medicine's most rigorous outside-the-box thinkers, for a conversation that challenges nearly everything you were taught about cardiovascular disease. They cover why the heart can't physically work as a pressure pump, what autopsy studies actually show about blocked arteries and heart attacks (hint: it's not what your cardiologist told you), and Gerald Pollack's fourth phase of water -- the gel-like, electrically charged state that drives blood flow, protects your vessels, and breaks down when you're disconnected from sunlight, the earth, real food, and other people. Dr. Cowan also pulls back the curtain on how modern biology conjures molecules like cholesterol, testosterone, and even DNA, and why the entire framework of bouncing-billiard-ball biochemistry may be a house of cards built on assumptions nobody ever bothered to test. The takeaway? Your body is a water battery. And the path back to health isn't through more scans, stents, or supplements it's through reconnecting to the things that actually charge you.
