This is what the reports will look like this number is the IMT intima-media thickness
what you find right here when they say "normal IMT" that's really an age-adjusted
number let me go back and show you this so what they do is they look at your IMT
and they go against an age-adjusted number
this is another example you know I mentioned that on the calcium score females are superior to males
in this area this is the female line this is the male line and what it is is 5 10 15 year olds 20
year olds up to 80 year olds and their CIMT their intima-media thickness and again with
men they're going to go a lot faster you're never going to see this this is called a nomogram
nomogram for CIMT for people you're never going to see this for calcium score because let me ask you why
anybody have a guess on why you're not going to see a nomogram for calcium score for ultrasound
CIMT ultrasound does not cause it's not ionizing radiation calcium score does have ionizing it's
like an X-ray so no human subjects design group is going to agree to just doing calcium score
on 10 year olds 15 year olds 20 year olds now you may see a nomogram starting at age 50 or 55
but you'll never see anything like this or calcium score because of that radiation issue
further IMT results where you're seeing now yep at age 60 this was a couple of years ago age 60 my
arterial age was still back down at 53 bounced up at 58 one thing that that
does demonstrate people say oh I went up two points this year two points is not significant
this is less than the size of a hair so don't get too focused on going up or down
two or three points a number 10 is significant but a number two three once you get to about five
with a good technique a good group like the four that I mentioned that's makes sense anything less
than that doesn't people ask me well where can I get I live in Austin Texas where can I get a good
CIMT we had a CIMT tour going on prior to COVID but god shut that down like it did a lot of others
why wait for a disease and hope for a cure I used to be an ER doc my name is Ford Brewer
I quit ER after a few years because it was just so frustrating most of the things bringing people
into the ER are things that should have been prevented including heart attack stroke number
one cause of death number one cause of permanent disability people think that you're just gonna
have those and that they're not predictable both of those are wrong they are predictable
and you don't have to have them usually it's lifestyle lifestyle is more important than
supplements and even prescription drugs and even stents and surgery but the current times are tough
major financial impact with the lockdowns that most states have been going through
we've been working on a way to make this much more affordable with a subscription process and
that's exactly what we're announcing today we've got two levels one is the Silver Membership where
you get access to our courses a private webinar each month and access to our supplement store
and supplement recommendations and prescription or I would suggest even more so the Gold Membership
you can get a script for a Freestyle Libre and find out what your blood sugar metabolism
is doing on a daily basis and you can get a lab order for inflammation OGTT and insulin survey
you can also get a 30-minute one-on-one with me
so I'm looking forward to seeing you cost is no longer an excuse so if you're interested go to
