In this episode, Dr. Jockers dives into the #1 thing silently destroying your arteries and increasing your risk of heart attacks. You'll learn how high blood sugar and insulin resistance trigger inflammation, plaque buildup, and oxidative stress, setting the stage for long-term cardiovascular problems.

We explore the ripple effect of poor blood sugar control, from kidney damage and neuropathy to optic neuritis and fatty liver. I share actionable insights on how your daily meals, insulin levels, and lifestyle choices play a huge role in protecting your heart.

You'll also discover practical strategies to stabilize blood sugar naturally—covering nutrition, intermittent fasting, movement, strength training, and even breathing techniques. These simple yet powerful habits can help your arteries recover and reduce the risk of heart disease.
