Peter OBoyle: Doc, thanks for the job you do for us. Been watching my carbs for the
last 2 years. Last 7 months very serious about eating super healthy. No
drinking. I lost 70 pounds total. You know, it's so
interesting back when I was working with Brad Bale in Nashville, most of our
patients were coming to us from different dentists that had read the
book Beat the Heart Attack Gene. But since this YouTube channel, almost all of
our patients now come from the YouTube channel, and it's very interesting as
they make that transition. I started finding some weird things going on. I
would see people come in that had little to no inflammation. Their OGTT or
glucose tolerance test, their insulin survey, all looked really good. But they
had significant plaque. The plaque was calcified and stable, and it was like,
I can't figure out what's going on. Well now, I know the first thing to ask is,
have you lost significant weight over the past few years, and that's what you
see the huge number. Over half of my patients, for example, coming in have lost
30 pounds or more over the past year. There's one a couple of months ago had said,
yep I lost 130 pounds. You know, just amazing and losing 30
pounds is a major major improvement if you had 30 pounds of unnecessary fat
mass. That fat tissue is not just energy storage.
It is endocrine tissue and the hormones that it secretes are not goodness. Leptin,
yes, but what we call the adipokines. Don't need to remember that word. It's
just bad stuff that creates insulin resistance and inflammation. Guess what,
our obesity epidemic is helping drive the prediabetes epidemic that's causing
so much risk for COVID. But again, it's been causing a lot of risk, a lot of
death, number one cause of death - heart attacks, the number one cause of
disability - strokes. It's been causing that for decades.
Peter OBoyle: just had my CT scan on my heart 640.
Yikes. So again, like I said, that's very common for what I see. People have
developed prediabetes 40 pounds ago, and they'll get all cleared up in terms of
their current labs. But we still end up carrying those scars in our blood
vessels, and that's what calcium scan is.
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 attacks, 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. Lifestyles 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 their 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 care.prevmedhealth.com/Membership
