Over the course of his 20-year career at Montefiore in New York, Dr. Robert Ostfeld has been instrumental in moving medicine forward by implementing innovative dietary programs that not only provide plant-based meal options for patients but also educate healthcare professionals about the importance of nutrition in preventing heart disease.
Today, he catches us up on the amazing initiatives at this forward thinking hospital and shares updates on their innovative cardiac wellness program, which now encompasses various clinical trials examining the effects of dietary choices on erectile function and overall heart health, particularly highlighting a groundbreaking study that compares plant-based diets with animal-based diets regarding their impact on erectile function.
Dr. Ostfeld also answers audiences’ burning questions about cholesterol management, the nuances of coronary calcium scoring, and the implications of emerging research on lipoprotein(a) and lipoprotein B. Dr. Osfeld emphasizes that lifestyle changes, including adopting a plant-based diet, exercising, and managing stress, are crucial for heart health, especially in high-risk populations and post-menopausal women.

We need more hospitals that serve plant based meals after heart procedures, or at least offer them to the patient. The icing would be to make plant based meals mandatory after a procedure. 🥦

This doesn't pertain to this particular video content, but how come every time you have a live interview that is then recorded and put out for us to see? It appears on my feed twice. This has been going on for at least 3 months possibly longer and I just didn't notice it. And the funny part is the two videos aren't even the same length sometime as they're about a minute difference
