- I’m very excited to introduce my first video in a new series titled Spring Forward Your Health! In the coming months there will be a few lectures on various topics. Make sure you’re subscribed to be notified when they are released! I apologize for the audio issues in this lecture, we have it all sorted out for future lectures.
This lecture is to educate everybody on the newest advancements using noninvasive CT angiography WITH Fractional Flow Reserve determination (FFR-CT). Artificial intelligence is used to analyze the CT angiograms to determine which blockages are significant and which ones are not. Mild blockages do not require stents or bypass. They require a prevention program. Learn about this breakthrough, which avoids, unnecessary, invasive procedures, and interventions. Also learn what actually causes heart attacks.

Hello everyone! I am so excited to be sharing my new lecture series "Spring Forward Your Health!" with you all! This is the first lecture in the series. I apologize for the audio issues in this one, we have that all sorted for the next one! Take care!
Thank you Dr for your efforts , you are a God send .
Oh I’ve been waiting for another video by my favorite cardiologist Dr Jamnadas!
Me tooo!
I just had my first Apt with him on Friday!! AMAZING! He was telling me exactly what is in the video. Going back for a full gut biome test, food allergy test, CT Angio and Calcium. Going to work on my leaky gut.... and to think i was just looking for a "cardiologist" and found a HEALER!
@@vichin1 I’ve been a cardiac nurse for 25 years and Dr Jamnadas is the best!
Me Too! I'm not a doctor but find all his knowledge so easy to digest. Thanks for all the work you publish Dr. Pradip!
@@vichin1Awesome that you are working with him! How long do you think all the tests will take to complete ? I'm Canadian and would like to visit the doctor on my vacation. Best of luck to you ❤
I am so blessed to have Dr Pradip as my DR.
You are indeed. I wish he wasn't so far away I could have Dr. Nader Ali 100 miles or so away from me but I have no way to reach him. He is also an interventional cardiologist with thoughts very similar to Dr. Jamnadas.
When my husband and son were under treatment at DeBakey at the downtown medical center I wish I had known about these doctors. The food at the hospital there is enough to finish off a sick person. One big sugar -carb catastrophe. Seed oil/grains and your choices between fruit juices and artificially sweetened sodas.
Getting sick or sicker every week with more medicines added to counteract the earlier one's side effects.
Me too, I drive from Pompano Beach to Orlando.
@@cybersal7 I come from CT
And I am jealous you have Dr Pradip as your doctor.
Where’s he a doctor at
I found your lectures on food addiction and fasting in July 2023 and started fasting regularly. Now I’m doing OMAD and as of April 2024 I’m down more than 75 lbs. My blood pressure is 110/70 and it used to be around 135/90. Thank you for everything Pradip! It works! This knowledge changed my life!
I always get so excited to hear new Dr Pradip content. He's the best!
*Profoundly Wise and Brilliant Cardiologist.* Such a rarity. Thank you for posting this video.
So compassionate and humble too
Rare for sure...but wise and brilliant...this is how they should ALL be. Period.
Dr. J your lectures are about 'whole body' health. I have watched everything that you post. It's an undertaking for sure BUT over the past few years, you've taught me more than I thought possible, given me the confidence to stand firm on my health choices and inspire me. You are a gift and I thank you from the bottom of my healthy ❤️
Same here! He's incredibly adorable and intelligent. His explanations are so clear and concise. May God bless this individual of science and medicine. #Pradip #Jamnadas #Cardiology #Florida
Thankyou.I'm learning from you what is happening to me. ❤
I had a widow maker two years ago aged 64 and started to follow as much as I could the doctors advice with my diet. I am not a saint but restrict time eat five days a week. Cook my own food, salad for lunch, no bread, biscuits, cake, pasta, etc. No processed food, only eat out maybe once a month at most. Also, I use extra virgin coconut and olive oil in moderation and no snacks. My sins are a couple of beers at the weekend and a few glasses of red. I have a sweet tooth, so i do have a piece of 85% dark chocolate during the week and maybe a slice of cake at the weekends. I have never been offered any tests except echo cardiogram. No CT calcium etc. Things I have noticed myself are the following : I lost 24lbs, and this has allowed me to enjoy the gym three times a week. I work out for calories burnt per session and raise my heart beat to 140 to 150bpm three times. Usually, I'm there doing aerobics for an hour with a period of intensive work. When ot at the gym I stay active, do jobs for people I know and out doors. Physically, I feel improved. I have no dry cracked skin on knees and elbows, and my adult lifelong friend athletes foot, which I had suffered from for 40 years, has completely gone. My enflamed tonsils (again 40 years) have gone, and I never now get tonsil stones. I no longer get bleeding gums when I brush my teeth. I no longer have bleeding piles breaking out every few months. Numbness in my big toes has gone. My feeling is that even without confirmation of my health status by testing to a large degree, the body can find ways of showing the direction of travel. I do occasionally worry about not knowing, but good walks and keeping busy are their own remedy. Even if my arteries are calcified and will never improve the doctors advice has been I feel good for me. As for my own cardiologist, I feel he is a good man. He listens and encourages, but I guess he is limited to what he can offer. On balance, for a patient, I feel too much information can be both a good and a bad thing. I'm 66 now and I'm happy to have general good health as my goal. I would like to thank the good Doctor for his work and encourage those around him to follow the same direction.
By "Widow maker", do you mean you had a CAC test and it showed a High score?
@shotelco no I had a heart attack with a 100% blocked LAD. This is about the worst type of heart attack anyone can get with a very low chance of survival unless immediate medical intervention is given. Hence the name widowmaker
@@tonyprice1526 Understood. Just wanted to clarify. I had a CAC score of 1400, and my GP used the term "Widow maker" as well. Then this GP said "You are a ticking time bomb". Which freaked me out. At age 65, with ZERO hereditary heart problem history, and some 7 years ago I purposely lost 100 lbs. by eliminating ALL sugars, breads, simple carbs, ect., then 6/18 incremental fasting to get off that last 30lbs., this GP "referred" me to a cardiologist, who wanted me to get an angiogram. I asked him what the risk were of such an invasive procedure, vs. the risk of this CAC score. He said the CAC "indicated" a 4% chance of a "cardiovascular event" within the next 5 - 10 years, and the angiogram had a 1% chance of _inducing_ a heart attack, a 1% chance of _inducing_ a stroke, and a 1% chance of _inducing_ an embolism. So a 3% chance of something going South, just to see what the "blockage" may be.
I declined. Did more homework. Found a NEW type of CT technology, just being rolled out commercially in 2023 called PCCT (Photon-Counting Computed Tomography ). Its a non-invasive SUPER-ultra-HIGH resolution 3D CT scan that can see past the "blooming" effects of calcium, and provide a very accurate view of any blockage, AND determine what state any Plaque may be in.
I doubt even Dr. Jamnadas is aware of this technology. But certainly not these American witch doctors I have been dealing with. When the cardiologist suggested the angiogram, he looked at my chart and realized I was "self-pay" for this visit (The original cardiologist my GP referred me to NEVER responded to the referral). So Insurance ONLY pays for a referred specialist, and I had to find one myself. When this guy saw "self-pay" he asked, "How are you going to afford this $30,000 angiogram I want you to have" (ostensibly to pay the financing on his Yacht?).
It is my _OPINION_ that Dr. Jamnadas makes a common sense argument; the root cause of Heart problems is lifestyle. I STRONGLY suggest anyone reading this far research PCCT themselves.
Consider this: With respect to an extremely HIGH CAC score - competitive marathon runners have CAC scores sometimes above 4000. Yet their longevity is the same or better than most. Search "heart of stone" "calcium score", as its the stresses they put on their hearts during training and competition, which cause the damages, and subsequent healing that now shows a calcium in a CAC. I too was a competitive athlete, yet these --clowns-- I mean "physicians" never asked about my history. Doesn't mean they are wrong about my prognosis, but all they know is what they have known for the past 30 years, without ever seeking to learn anything new.
There are ONLY 3 PCCT devices I have found installed in America at this time, and only ONE in Florida that will provide the scan without a "referral". A PCCT CT scanner will be installed at UCLA in late summer. An out-of-pocket PCCT scan is $1100 at the Florida location. At trip to Indonesia and back to get the PCCT is about the same all-in cost. There are perhaps 10 PCCT devices in Europe. So although novel, PCCT is available. Hopefully, Dr. Jamnadas actually reads these comments and looks into this tech himself.
I wish you well, you're doing exactly the right thing in terms of mitigating any further damage to your cardiovascular system!
@@tonyprice1526did you get the 100% blocked LAD clear by advance angio plasty stent？ i too currently have 100% blocked LAD but i developed collateral in the heart so no heart attack
In 2006 my husband age 54 died of an MI in the middle of the night. No symptoms. I'm a Nurse and did CPR and couldn't save him. Sad when there are no symptoms. Dr ordered a stress echo one year before. He never went because he worked 12 hours a day.
I've been waiting for months for another video!!!!
Keep them coming more regularly 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Dr Jam is what most of us think a doctor is and should be for each patient needs in order to become healthy...
Since Feb 2023, of ALL the cardiologists and MDs I follow, Dr. J. is by far the best. In a sentence, you've saved my life! Since then, and after watching ALL your previous videos, I've taken all your advice...CT Calcium Scan (quite high), then took the action you advised. Today, I am a new man, 85lbs down, after a battery of bloodwork you recommended, to include BP management, lifestyle - intermittent fasting and time-restricted feedings, I am as good a version of Me as I can be....thanks to you! Thank you for doing what you do, and how you do it! Looking forward to your new series!
Could you please provide me with a list of what I should do like you did my doctor just blows me off and heart disease runs in my family but I'm seeking a new doctor
Did your calcium scores changed(reduced) due to the new lifestyle?
He's incredibly adorable & intelligent. His explanations are so clear and concise. May God bless this MAN of #science & #medicine.
#Pradip #Jamnadas #Cardiology #Florida
Love you so much Dr J! I have tried so many diabetes meds glimibiride made me gain 20 pounds had constant panic attacks and my A1C went from 6.2 to 8. Had severe muscle weakness joint pain. It was awful. Metformin dizzy bladder infections. Ozempic was the worst. Severe weakness. Food stuck in esophagus. You are saving lives.
metformin should not cause bladder issues....it's GI. Ozempic -I was offered and refused. Causes gastroparesis, and diabetes predisposes us to the to boot. Be careful.
BUT most cardiologists do not do do that, they rush to put as many stents as possible because of the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$,the more the better for their bank account
In today's world where the blockage stneting js guided by hesrt physiological these instances are rare. Also new technology is on horizon. Also there are new fully dissolvable platforms where these stents dissappear after 1 to 2 years rather than leaving a permanent scaffold in the heart artery. Europe already uses it, not yet available in USA. MOST cardiologists use FFR to treat stable angina nowadays.
I'm
so what do u think what is the price for this treatment 😂 more then double this is more costly then stent
@@bhargavbhuva4486 IT is a new generation stent that dissolves away after doing scaffolding work for 1 year. So, no metal left inside the artery. Don't know the price since not yet fda approved in USA. IN INDIA MERES100 is a fully absorbable platform which is now available. I understand the sarcastic undertone but understand the coronary physiological before calling wolf.
Omg, my wait is over with my favourite doctor's another video, thanks sir 🙏
PERTH AUSTRALIA...WE ARE WATCHING YOU FROM MANT OCEANS AWAY...DR....YOU ARE A FANTASTIC CARDIOLOGIST DR JAMNADAS.....YOUR KNOWLEDGE IS EXEMPLARY....THANK YOU SIR
Yeah I'm from Perth too
God Bless
Outstanding.
You covered so many topics in a way we can understand. You have also emphasised the need for each patient to take action for the long term. These procedures do not fix things for the long term. That change is on us.
Thank you.
Well said. 👍
Yesssss!!!! Been watching for more..... Thank you for continuing my education!!!!!
OMG, what I've been saying for years - whatever hurts the blood vessels damages the organs they feed: the heart, the eyes, the kidneys, the brain, the nerves of our periphery. THANK YOU!
He is the best doctor on the planet!
Anxiously waiting for your video!
Bravo, Dr. Jambadas! The most clear explanation of the pathophysiology, investigative tools, treatment options, risk factors, and the paramount importance of healthy metabolism.
Every medical practitioners shd be watching all ur videos. They are life saving. Tnx much
they are all burnt out, apaethic, and longhaulers from their shots, as well as love their power and profit too much to leave. It's really sad :( Many don't care.
Just loving all his explanations,he is so very thorough; God bless him for helping us all over the world!Always so excited to see his videos, I will be following up with my doctor to get a stress test to check me out; sometimes I really feel winded, thanks Doc; love you!!!!!Blessings
I lost 100 lbs after watching the videos posted by Dr Pradip Jamnadas. I talk to as many people as I can about these videos. They literately saved my life!
You nailed it doctor ! Health begins in the gut!
I have been seeing Dr J since December 2023. I’m eating keto and fasting, down 40 pounds. improving but I still had a mixed bag of improvement with poor omega 3 ratio and some elevated lipids. With last appointment in early April, Dr. J has me increasing fish oil supplement and adding sardines and anchovies to salad, plus adding a probiotic supplement and L glutamine and eating more kimchi/kefir. I’ve already lost 15 more pounds and GW is only 20 pounds away. Excited to repeat the tests this summer.
I love you doctor J. You have taught me so so much I’m coming to see you one day because I’m not getting good care where I live. Most of my family all
Heart disease !!
Your info is always great. I had on occasions several symptoms you mentioned. Cardiac PET scan and stress test show all is great, must be anxiety. I am 86.
PERTH AUSTRALIA....YOU ARE THE BEST...DR JAMNADAS..WE WATCH YOU FROM MANY OCEANS AWAY...SIR PLEASE SHARE MORE OF YOUR EDUCATIONAL MED CLIPS...YOUR SELFLESS CONTRIBUTION IS APPRECIATED...MAY YOUR FAMILY YOU BE BLESSED.....THANK YOU DR....
this is one of the best, THE BEST videos I've watched. EVER. Thank you Dr. Pradip Jamanadas
So glad you’re back !! Look forward to seeing your new videos 🤩
I had severe inflammation waiting for another amazing video. Thanks Doc! I feel less inflamed already!
Carnivore diet.
@@adelarsen9776 Totally. I'm hoping this recent inflammation is oxalate dumping, and please don't let it last too long. OUCH
@@jennifermarlow. I had oxalate dumping as Pseudo Gout in my ankles every 3 months for 14 months. But it all goes away after awhile. Everyone is different.
@@adelarsen9776 not the answer to all things, and if you are not eating animals that are clean, it's no better.
@@adelarsen9776 oxalates are HUGE issues - I knew a lil about it though my kidney stones, but I learned even more....maaaan. Those and histamines.
A great doctor. ❤
The Best!
You are the absolute best of the best of the best Doc ❤ thank you a gift to humanity 🙏🙏🙏
He always makes so much sense.
I am getting a coronary CTA next week for mild chest pain while exercising. If my results come back with blockages, I’m going to share this lecture with my doctor and ask about FFR before getting any stents..
What happened with your CTA? I didn't see this video until now two days since released from 5 days in hospital see my comment above. I got a stent and really wonder if I needed one as never heard of FFR and no mention of that and little or no discussion before I was told and being wheeled to the angiogram lab... I also know they used dye both times so I guess it was a CT Angiogram.
Great to see you back Sir, with something new and latest to help both patients and Doctors
It makes whole lots of sense now why our parents told us way of healthy life and cleaning of guts at certain intervals and no grain food diet at the every fortnight. This also indicates why my parents siblings lived over 93 years without any medication or visit to any doctor in India.
just watching MANY of your Videos I can Now speak with clarity to my Doctor and he is Very impressed with you🙏
We are so glad to heard back here in YT a new fantastic lecture from Dr. Pradip / Thanks for sharing.
What a relief the Dr is! 💌 Save me from the over wordy, lack of succinct clarity which comes from US speakers of English. (mostly)
Happy to see you back after many months. Waiting for the intense knowledge!
Great to see you're back, Dr. J!!
Beautiful way of explaining! Thank you, Doctor.
wowo ... Dr Jam is not the only surgeon who says stents are a waste many times they are are waste of money and can do more harm than good..
omg that was awesome! well done! always excited to see a new vid from you
YESSSS! GREAT START OF THE DAY. Gonna watch it eating my dahi.
Been looking for the new videos. Thank you.
How many times have I been told that my "Genetics" is what has been causing my High BP and my and food. Amazing healer!
Thank you for the new video .
I love your info , you’re the best !
I wish I were in Florida close to this amazing cardiologist. He explains things so well. Thank you doctor for your videos. I learn a lot from them. I will ask my cardiologist about FFR-CT scan.
Truly holistic. Another amazing, educational lecture. Thank you 🙏
Amazing life changing talk. You're the best, thanks so much for your dedication to this
What a great presentation Dr. Pradip ! I learned new things from you.
Nageswara Rao
You are a genius, I understood so much on how this amazing body works. Thank you.
Fantastic!
Very informative video Dr . Jamnadas . Thank you .
I learned so very much for my condition! Thank you 🙏
1:06:00 -- epigenetics -- New word for all of us to understand
You are AMAZING, thank you.
Wow! Very impressive.. Very informative.
Really excellent descriptions.
Brillient stuff doc. Spot on with the info . Makes sense.
God bless you
Excellent. I don't know how to thank to Dr. Jamnadas.
You are a true blessing to your patients, Dr. J! Where are you located?
Excellent! Thank you.
Went to my cardiologist after palpitations, we did a battery of tests and had a CAC score of 50. I told him I was going to change my diet and lifestyle he said it wasn't enough. I quoted Dr. Jamnadas and said it was definitely associated with my gut issues. He said I was being biased in my search for information. Argued with him for 45 minutes and got a $900 bill for it. He's fired! Wish I lived close to Dr. Jamnadas!
Fantastic explanation particularly on inflammation. Looking forward to detailed video on inflammation. Keep going Dr. Really appreciate your service.
Wow! Please we need more content from you doctor
Thanks doc.... After long time
Skills of plumbing maintenance, understanding flow distribution, circuit balance and layout, dynamics of energy phases and rest, but the beautiful key is the diet of food and normal exercise. Life is love is faith.
Dr Jamnadas! this is to good - Another video. Of the eight different health videos I am subscribed to, Yours is the BEST. Thank you......
Im sure i found right here one who is a real life-supporting heart doctor; one who is
really caring to resolve arterial blockages, and not the medical-industrial complex profit blockages he actually can help cause! I need you doctor, after triple bypass, and now im 73 and trying to not live stupidly, which is allot to learn and live.
The Framingham Study agrees about inflammation, but beyond that, your approach does circles around them. Your approach is so on point, brilliant. Thank you so much, i pray my young cardiologist will watch this when i urge him to; a lot of system pressure is on doctors.
I take no meds, and this is priceless help to myself for sure!
God protect you is my prayer.
❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏
Excellent lecture !
Thank you very much doctor
You are the best
Always wait for your vedios
Thanks for this. Super-informative. Hope you can include a short discussion (in a future video?) on soft-plaque vs calcified-plaques, to deepen the blockage vs calcium score diagnostic blind spots.
Thank you, Dr.J. Inflammation - it's complicated.
Thank you dr j
Awesome info. Thank you.
My favorite DR.
Thank you. ❤
I always wait u r video, thanks 🙏
Doc is back👨⚕️
Looking forward to the anti-inflammatory diet
I love this doctor,wish he was my heart doctor
You are spot-on doctor about the genetics actually read a study that was done for almost 80 years which entailed 3000 people they said it appeared they would learn the eating habits of their relatives and other things and carry that on
Thank you!!!
Good show.
As a Lpn, thankyou for the detailed explanation
Dr Jamnadas , We are really so proud and grateful to you for putting the best information and work into awakening our minds on health , doctors can female patients have different systems of cardiac disease compared with males
Glad your back. Thought they had got you.
Love your videos. Would love one addressing Varicose Veins and your opinion on whether you leave them alone or have procedures to fix them. Also does it matter if you are currently overweight. Thanks for all you do!
Would be interesting to hear Dr. Jamnadas comment on the value of the myeloperoxidase test as a marker of plaque instability and progress toward "stopping the fire" in your arteries.
When medicine and engg meet ,miracles can be achieved .Use knowledge and technology for the good of mankind 🙏
Thank you for all the information you have been providing!
I have always had high cholesterol / LDL since i started testing 20 years ago and my PCP has always tried to push statins. I am able to improve the numbers some by diet and exercise but they never get down to 'normal'. My trig/hdl is 1.1, HgA1c is 5.6, CRP is 0.91 and I am south Asian. Finally going to a cardiologist who agreed to do a calcium score and particle size ( although he is also pushing statins). Hopefully my score is zero and he changes his mind about putting me on statins. Will soon find out !
Clean carnivore diet.
What happened? What was your cardiac score?
@bulgarian_user unfortunately calcium score was 94. Have yet to visit cardiologist this week but looks like now I am left with no option but to start statin..😪
@@piki9202 Statins interfere with brain cholesterol receptors which leads to T3D. Change to a clean carnivore diet.
Dr Ken Berry and Dr Anthony Chaffee can help you.
You need to get ketones in your blood, k2 in in your blood and higher levels of BHB and BDNF.
Intermittent Fasting and a clean carnivore diet will fix you.
@@bulgarian_user CAC Does NOt measure the deadly soft plaque statins raise CAC. …only CIMT measures soft plaque. One can have zero CAC but lots of killer soft plaque
God I love this Dr. He is so brilliant ❤❤
My son-in-law is a young Dr in Miami and I have shared with him many of these lectures. I wish he can become a Dr like Dr J
Awakening since my cardiologist here in Atlanta did every test (EKG looked fine, ultrasound looked fine, nuclear stress looked fine, Holter Monitor looked fine) except Coronary Calcium which was 127 and Lp(a) which was 351 until I asked to specifically have those tests done after spending thousands on all the inconclusive tests she ordered. She just didn't even seem to care about Coronary Calcium or Lp(a) after proudly prescribing me with statins I guess because it was too cheap and easy to do first and following the money is what pays their bills. I really need some way to see you or another respectable cardiologist in my area but I just don't know how or who. Recently we added Zetia to my 5mg Crestor because I cannot tolerate higher dose of statin without my Creatine Kinase going off the charts but since then I have been experiencing chest pains pretty regularly. Really wish I lived near your office. Perhaps you could forward me the name of a good cardiologist in Atlanta near Decatur?
Additionally interesting is I had a gut health test indicating a high dysbiosis level. I started taking VSL3, Pendulum Glucose Control, L Reuteri, and fresh yogurt, kefir, kimchee and nattokinase
Thank you. Now, all pieces of information come to clear picture
Hello. I have been dizzy 8 days. Last yr I had a chest xray that showed calcification of the aorta. I have suspicion this is now my problem. I’ve heard of Diamond Back 360 machine to bore out deposits. It is new & not used yet by many surgeons.
