Severely limit carbs and alcohol. Get sun exposure. Lots of omega 3 in things like sardines, salmon, oysters, etc. Whole cuts of beef, lamb, pork, chicken, etc. Bacon and eggs. Time-restricted eating. Good sleep regularly. Moderate exercise like regular walking, maybe some HIIT. Choose not to stress -- be loving, humble, patient, and kind. Trust God, and hope for the best.
My sweet husband WAS a carb junkie. He doesn't drink or smoke but processed food, Dr. Pepper, and potatoes were his drug of choice. Years ago, he was put on meds for high blood pressure, high uric acid, and a statin. The statin literally took away all quality of life (every brand) and he stopped the statins. A couple years ago he got a CAC score of 500 and then a couple months ago he got a 5.7 on his A1C. Now he's doing low carb and dropped 20 pounds. He's 6'3 and 209lb. He's doing good! Only God knows how long he'll be on this Earth, but it is wise to take responsibility for your health. I've learned doctors do not have all the answers or a crystal ball. Appreciate this doctor's points of view!
Don't worry about appearances. Just stay down to earth. We're here for the information. Woman here. Thank you for addressing female hearts! My experience, long story short, upper back pain, between shoulder blades. Take your breath away pain...level 8,9... Several times a day. Blood pressure shooting from 117 to 197 (husband took it for me), for 20 minutes at a time. Emergency room diagnosis ...nope just fine. Two months of this, multiple cardiologists. I knew I was dying. Finally a cardiologist, one and a half hours away, said " you've driven a long distance and seen a lot of doctors so I guess we can check you out." I feel he really didn't believe me either. It was 90% LAD blockage.
@@siobhancleary3018 Ahhh. So sweet. Thank you. I feel much better. The stent took the pain away. Now I'm making lifestyle changes so, hopefully, it won't happen again.
I was in the exact same boat! Zero heart disease markers EXCEPT extremely high C reaction protein. My Dr said it was arthritis. Rheumatologist said not severe enough. I had some chest pain but told the Dr I had bad chest pain. Did CTA found 90% LAD stenosis! Stent placed. So the #1 factor is inflammation
Great presentation as always Ford & Jesus ! Couldn’t listen to it live today here in the U.K. but as always caught up on replay .. always learn something new !
Keto / low carber guy here in England, let me just say, love the long videos, I just put this on while doing housework, this evening listening while doing the ironing, a master of science holder, love all the geeky bits as well as the clarity, keep up the good work
As a 69 year old. I had CABG ...triple bypass including widowmaker done at White Plains (NY) hospital in March of 2022. I take 10mg of rouvastatin, 6.25 ×2 of coreg and 81 mg. of aspirin each day now feel fine. Have family history on fathers side...lost dad at 55...uncle age 38 and 53. Also almost forgot take 2 metformin tablets my a1c is 6.1 now from 6.4.
I am a so an who just survived a window maker. I believe if had not have switched to a keto carnivore diet last year I would never have survived it. Pre heart attack I was sweating a lot more especially during the night. I would get nauseated often as well. I am asthmatic and my shortness of breath would come on often and not be elevated with my puffers. I also had tacky cardia. I would go to emergency and heart readings would be normal and I was labeled as someone who suffered anxiety. Meanwhile the window maker was building and building until the dam broke and ended with a hematoma rupture in my LAD.
Just had an angiogram after a cac of 148 2 years earlier it was 114, angiogram came back no vulnerable plaque mild stenosis but non obstructive and calcified plaque , after angiogram the CAC recorded 199 so over the past 2 years on low carb no sugar seems to be doing its job I hope. Will still take Crestor 5 mg every other day
Statins when taken by 300 men between the ages of 50 to 60 for five years prevent one event. Not death, just one event. Now look up how many people die or get diabetes or dementia from them.
I’m a 45 yr old Firefighter. 6’3” 225 athletic body type. I have had 2 stents in and subsequently a bypass of my LAD in the last 2 years. I have never had high blood pressure or Cholesterol levels. I surf, hunt, crossfit, run don’t drink soda or eat lots of sugar. I had a once a week Adair with a Whooper and onion rings but the stress and lack of sleep due to my occupation white rice (a staple in Hawaii) and pasta is on the menu daily when your feeding a handful of hungry men. I did drink roughly 12-18 beers a week, vaped irregularly. I have been back to work for a month after a 8month lay off 2 waiting for surgery 4 recovering 2 on desk duty. I feel ok but still have pains. I have quit drinking altogether and cut almost all carbs and definitely no more Whoopers. Diet and sleep.
They now include firefighter deaths 24 hours after duty as LODD. Studies are showing that exposure to extreme heat environments and working in those conditions increases clotting factors in the blood. It pretty much makes blood thicker causing clots to form more easily in people that are in peak physical condition. So Firefighters are dying within 24 hours of being on duty by heart attacks.
Great video It makes a strong case why the carnivore only diet may not be all that bad especially for people that can sustain it long term and it gets them totally off ultraprocessed highly pallitable junk food loaded with a combination of deadly transfats and sugar., I know reaserach on this would never be funded, but I would be curious to see hard health outcomes over 30+ years on compliant hardcore carnivore participants that stay the course over those 30 + years.
That's what we get in my family, none of that 3-4 heart attacks here. My uncles died from heart attack at 20, 54, my dad 71, my brother 78. Went to a Cardiologist when I was 62, and he said family history don't count, we don't look at that. In emergency a couple years later I was told to go back and have a stress test, said you need a referral, asked doc for one, he said no you look fine. I take Metformin.
I remember what I were eating 1 or more years back, meat and just meat, my Crohns is gone and beginning gangren has gone too, so my little carbs and sugar friends, how difficult can it be to treat the gut that your far away long time never seen ancestors created/designed for you, long time before agricultural disaster happened ?
Has anyone issued a revised food chart - the US food pyramid is defiitely compromised by the industrial food industry. This might be very useful for people who are not going to read or watch detailed videos. Please keep up the good work.
Min 20.00. 12 years ago my calcium score was over 500. LAD over an inch 100% occluded. RAC 90% occluded. Never had a heart attack. Had 2 stents put in. Arteries in neck 100% clean, even today. Intima thickness 0,7mm. Nobody has been able to explain this phenomenon to me so far.
@@meatvenus Age 67 now. Changed my diet 12 years ago, no gluten, little meat, hardly any sugar. Hb1ac between 5.2 and 5.4. Still have blockages, can easily do 250watts on a bike. Heart seems ok, probably developed collaterals.
Does high Lp(a) come into play with this? I met a girl who was diagnosed with 20% blockage in her LAD at 30 and she tested high for Lp(a). I also have really high Lp(a) at 380 nmol/L but haven’t had any heart issues to date and I’m almost 40. I am also a health fanatic and have been since I was 30. Before I cut out raw milk/butter and meat from my diet my particle count was almost 1900 and my LDL was 194, my small LDL particles were also really high as well as Lp-Pla2 activity and that was when I was eating mostly plants but also having butter and raw milk daily and red meat almost daily and since I cut those things out my particles are now under 1100 and my LDL small particles are almost in range and my LDL-C is 112. I’ll also add no one in my family has lived past 70, all died from heart attacks/disease, and their diet was high in meat and lard. My mom is 70, has elevated Lp(a) at 110 nmol/L but has really low LDL, at 80, and has never had heart issues and eats mostly plant based and eats salmon 3 times a week. So, I think for my family we shouldn’t have a high saturated fat diet. That might be ok for someone else but not for us.
@@dontfit6380 bless your heart. I appreciate the feedback but I don’t need it. I literally only changed one thing and that was animal products, that’s it. I still eat fish and an egg a day.

She’s the only one who ate differently but sure, bury your head in the sand and blame the vegetables 🥕 😅
Nice video. are there any papers that show that keto and/or weight loss leads to calcification? I've seen many papers on statins doing that but never see what was implied at time 55:00 talking about how your patients come in and have high calcium scores.
what about Zetia med ? im on 80mg atorvastatin and my doctor suggested zetia also after ldl was 140. i told him i would exercise and work harder on my diet. check on lipids later and then consider zetia to lower ldl.
I recently had an attack, in hospital 5 days and sent home being told all tests are perfecet except triponin was hight and they apparently found SCAD. Another doctor told me I might have vasospasm but I must return in 1 month for stress tsts and take statins and beta blockers in the meantime. After watchig this video and not quite understanding everything, I'm looking for advise in whether I should accept the stress tests or be requesting something else?
A suspicious mole can be a “widowmaker”-or not. An elevated PSA test can be a widowmaker-or not. A swollen lymph node can be a “widowmaker”-or not. CAC in the LAD is not something to be ignored but it is not metastatic cancer. It is not habitually driving recklessly or under the influence. The term is intended to frighten and it achieves that end remarkably well. Kaplan-Meir data (which is not fail-safe) suggested that when the LAD was the “culprit artery” five-year mortality was less than 15%-not optimal but not horrific, either. The point is, there are numerous conditions that could justifiably be called “the widowmaker”. As a matter of fact, there was only about a 2.5% difference in five-year mortality between a CAC burden in the LAD and the RCA (right coronary artery). That’s a 1:40 difference and yet, someone is told the former can mean sudden death while the latter is rarely mentioned. Go figure.
Having worked in a cath lab for many years, a widow maker ie proximal LAD blockage is much worse than an RCA or Crx blockage. Many have collateral circulation on the right and crx, some are co dominate and if the lesions are distal you can recover from a heart attack. With the prox LAD everything distal goes down and its pretty much catastrophic and the patient dies on the spot. That being said RCA and other location can kill you too.
Dr Ford sir.....can a dr do blood test to see how low a persons nitric oxide levels cause i think thats one major thing besides low vitamin c that hurts the arteries elasticity
When i had my shortness of breath upon walking and bp wad caught going up too high then at night when i laid down my heart will get into a bad skipping pattern then i went to dr then cardiologist who did a stress test angiogram then i had LAD stenting this was 2018....now im having angina dr said i have a mycardisl bridge probably had it at birth but ivr never had any symptoms from that in 59 years??????
My high blood pressure came on when I was being treated with fertility drugs in my 40 s Currently on amilodopine now 69 years old and have high Cholesterol now Doctor now wants me to take a statin?
I have endometrial adeno carcinoma now im looking at having a total hysterectomy i need to know the correct diet i lnow sugar feeds cancer then dr eric berg says to not do autophagy cause that causes cancers to grow so no long term fasts in other words
There are lots of studies that show long fasting can improve outcomes for cancer. And during these long term fasts autophagy is taking place. Do more research.
I'm using pressure cooked dry beans (varies between navy, northern, or black) to add carbs to my normally low-carb diet in an effort to bring down high LDL. Don't know the results yet...........or may try the NicK Norwitz OREO cookie method (LOL). Two years ago I had tandem 90% stenosis in the LDA - stent "repaired".
Hi Doctor I'm 46 years old. I just went to the Hospital for some chest pressure and some pain in my left arm. I was admitted due to my tropinin levels at 154. Dropping to as low as 96. I had an EKG and it was normal. I also had an ultrasound of my heart and and the cardiologist said my measurements were great. He said my triponin levels were interpreted by the old method and that the new method showed that I was at low risk for heart attack at the moment. My cholesterol levels were high, my blood pressure was in 140/80s. I was discharged with a set of meds: low dose BP med, statin, and nitro. He wants me to do a 360 degree monitoring of my heart pre-tracer and with a tracer to see what may be going on with my heart. I don't want a Stent and want to use other options to reduce any possible blockage. I've never taken statins due to concerns but now I plan on doing it. I will take all my meds as prescribed. Can I succeed in reversal of any possible blockage? I want to do the least invasive method. Look forward to your response. And any help. Thank you.
Hi, thank You for sharing and I'm sorry You are going through this, consider giving us a call or visit out website, as You know, it's impossible to provide an individual recommendation on UA-cam, but I can tell You I have a Lot of patients in similar situations, it's all on the details, some choose stents some don't
My sister was having symptoms of shortness of breath dizziness fatigue confusion she's been on high blood pressure medicine for about 10 years she was coughing and lost Consciousness it was a heart attack she went into the hospital test after test but the angiogram revealed she had a Widowmaker Plus she had a stent put in no longer needs high blood pressure medicine she is on a fruit vegetable whole grain plant-based mostly diet she's on an exercise routine Guided by physical therapist the artery in her neck however is clogged up so she is watching her diet very carefully and hopes to not have to have another stent put in that area looking to keep it from building up anymore so she can avoid that if possible

There are lots of studies that show long fasting can improve outcomes for cancer. And during these long term fasts autophagy is taking place. Do more research.
Come to Mississippi do an event
stop eating carbs.
0 calcium score can still mean lots of soft plaques right??????
Correct!
The only way to determine how much soft plaque you have is getting a Cat Scan angiogram done. Ask your Doc for one.
@@harryfeld1786 not totally true! Get a carotid intima-media thickness test (CIMT)!
Are cooked beans a good option instead of oatmeal
I'm using pressure cooked dry beans (varies between navy, northern, or black) to add carbs to my normally low-carb diet in an effort to bring down high LDL. Don't know the results yet...........or may try the NicK Norwitz OREO cookie method (LOL). Two years ago I had tandem 90% stenosis in the LDA - stent "repaired".
Oatmeal’s a bad option and beans are even worse. To high carbs you’ll get nothing but inflammation in you arteries.
@@speedyswede5585why do you want to bring down your LDL if your already low carb. Have you been watching the doctors videos?
Beans are high carbs
What if you have plaque, but you don’t have any blockage yet. I assume you should take a statin?
Yes. Thanks.
not NET CARBS....TOTAL CARBS!!
Hi Doctor I'm 46 years old. I just went to the Hospital for some chest pressure and some pain in my left arm.
I was admitted due to my tropinin levels at 154. Dropping to as low as 96. I had an EKG and it was normal. I also had an ultrasound of my heart and and the cardiologist said my measurements were great.
He said my triponin levels were interpreted by the old method and that the new method showed that I was at low risk for heart attack at the moment.
My cholesterol levels were high, my blood pressure was in 140/80s. I was discharged with a set of meds: low dose BP med, statin, and nitro.
He wants me to do a 360 degree monitoring of my heart pre-tracer and with a tracer to see what may be going on with my heart.
I don't want a Stent and want to use other options to reduce any possible blockage.
I've never taken statins due to concerns but now I plan on doing it. I will take all my meds as prescribed.
Can I succeed in reversal of any possible blockage?
I want to do the least invasive method. Look forward to your response. And any help. Thank you.

My sister was having symptoms of shortness of breath dizziness fatigue confusion she's been on high blood pressure medicine for about 10 years she was coughing and lost Consciousness it was a heart attack she went into the hospital test after test but the angiogram revealed she had a Widowmaker Plus she had a stent put in no longer needs high blood pressure medicine she is on a fruit vegetable whole grain plant-based mostly diet she's on an exercise routine Guided by physical therapist the artery in her neck however is clogged up so she is watching her diet very carefully and hopes to not have to have another stent put in that area looking to keep it from building up anymore so she can avoid that if possible
