some of you've been asking okay you you said you're gonna have a CIMT access
or you're gonna have one in the West Coast or more one or more on the East
Coast when's it starting let me know it's
starting it's Anaheim September 28th one to six pm and for those of you that are
geographically challenged like me Anaheim is in LA September 28th one to
six pm
how do you find out more about it go to CardioRisk.US/Ford I'll go
there to sign up for that tour as mentioned in here signing up is free
the CIMT itself an attending David's event total is 250 you attend David's
event for the afternoon September 28 and get a CIMT the CIMT is read now why
for those of you who've never heard it of any of this you probably are new to
the channel because we talk about it a lot
why a CIMT access to it CIMT is the only way to measure soft plaque soft
like is what causes heart attack and stroke not calcified plaque it's the
only way therefore to measure arterial age it's the best way to measure
progress including increase or decline of your plaque year over year you know
you lost 30 pounds what kind of impact did it have on your plaque now why is if
CIMT is so good why is it not already already a standard why is it not
accessible all over the country easily what's the problem there are a few
places across the country that do offer a good CIMT Todd's is the only one that
I know of that does provide access throughout the country but he's located
in I believe Utah and he just has technicians travel it requires
repeatable rigid technique with the in terms of what we call the interrogation
with the ultrasound there is no radiation by the way it is ultrasound
full disclosures folks that are wondering well Brewer do you make money
on these CIMTs now I don't make money on CIMT now after you see your plaque you
often become motivated and interested in coming to see somebody like me
so why the tour again there's poor access to see I am teased I have
patients come in to me and over half of them that bring their own CIMT really
didn't get a CIMT they didn't know that patient last week even had a lower
extremity ultrasound typically what they'll get is and a carotid flow study
flow studies just show you if you have in
packed on the flow that's 2 2 or 1/2 to 2/3 of the carotid artery blocked those
folks are you know that's like flow studies for the heart a stress test for
the heart those are only positive with again blockage of half to two-thirds of
the of the artery but the vast majority of strokes and heart attacks occur in
people that have less than 50 percent blockage that's why carotid flow studies
cardiac flow studies are just not that helpful for heart attack and stroke risk
what you want to know is do I have plaque in is that plaque soft so just
another couple of comments we're saying access tour so that mean
implies that there's going to be more than one yes the second one is in
Louisville it is our conference the one I've talked about multiple times before
David's is just an afternoon with David speaking Todd and I are looking to come
in remotely for an hour two of that but this the one in Louisville on November
8th and 9th is a full two-day intensive event when we had the the Healthy Life
Summit 2 there are a lot of YouTubers there from this YouTube community and
they said Ford you need to set up an event which is like just two days just
you mostly use some Janice and that's what we were doing you do have full
access to labs for that event and CIMT of course and a one on one with me
so looking forward to seeing you at one of those and again just a reminder to
get signed up for David's or find out about the other ones that are coming up
go to CardioRisk.US/Ford and let me just finish up with giving you
David's intro for those of you who have been following my video newsletters you
know we recently announced that we're taking the Healthy Life Summit on the
road around the country well our first stop will be in Southern California and
Anaheim on Saturday the 28th of September it's just one afternoon from 1
to 6 p.m. I'll personally be conducting the presentation
we'll have remotes by Dr. Brewer and Dr. Eldridge everyone in attendance will
receive the CIMT carotid scan that you've heard us talk so much about now
this is a great first step opportunity for those of you that live in the
Southern California area or can travel there for that Saturday we won't be
doing bloodwork like we do in the full-day three-day summit you won't get
the one-on-one physician consultation and all the other tests but having the
results of the CIMT will give you a great idea of where you are currently
and you won't need to invest the forty four hundred and fifty dollars for the
full three-day summit this half-day program including the CIMT test is two
hundred and forty-five dollars we'll be meeting at the Brookhurst Community
Center at 22 71 West Crescent Avenue in Anaheim now to sign up you need to go to
the link below and choose a time for your scan each scan takes about 15
minutes and will be done in the back of the lecture hall so you won't miss any
content our space and time slots for the CIMT scan are limited so sign up now to
reserve your place for those of you that wanted to come to the Healthy Life
Summit earlier this year in Orlando but couldn't make it this is a great
opportunity especially if you live out west so when you reserve your time slot
that will give you your CIMT scan as well as your admission to the event
there's also a link here below that will give you more details about the
importance of the CIMT scan itself if you have any questions you can contact
me at the email below I'm David Meinz and I hope to see you in Anaheim in a
couple of weeks couple of events for you the LA event
CIMT and an afternoon with David plus the read on the CIMT $245 to sign up
for that go to CardioRisk.US/Ford if you'd rather get a full event
two days of intensive cardiovascular prevention with the CIMT with full labs
and a one on one meeting we have that in Louisville on November 8th and 9th
