As the saying goes: "A man is as old as his arteries."

In today's episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Michael Twyman.

Dr. Twyman is a heart attack prevention expert and board-certified cardiologist who utilizes the best of conventional medicine, integrative medicine, quantum medicine, and biohacking to get to the root cause of cardiovascular issues.

In today's conversation, we dive deep into Dr. Twyman's progressive and proactive approach to cardiovascular health.

We talk about what traditional blood tests to assess heart health miss, debunk the myths around cholesterol, and introduce critical markers like ApoB and ApoE.

We talk about the importance of optimizing mitochondrial function, why external appearances can be deceiving when assessing heart health, why prioritizing sleep is the most important thing you can do for your heart, and reveal practical tips to optimize your sleep environment, including ways to reduce EMF exposure.

We also explore heart rate variability (HRV), the limitations of smartwatches in measuring it, and what your heart rate reveals about your health and longevity.

We talk about the cardiovascular implications of different diets, from carnivore to plant-based, and the significance of seasonal eating.

Finally, Dr. Twyman shares when it's appropriate to consult a cardiologist as well as the diagnostic and genetic tests that can give you the deepest understanding of your heart health.

In a world where cardiovascular disease is the #1 cause of death, this episode serves as a crucial wake-up call that we need to take a proactive approach to our vascular health. And it is my hope that you leave this podcast equipped with the necessary tools and insights to take your cardiovascular health into your own hands.
