Insulin resistance is a main driver of cardiovascular disease that we don’t hear enough about. Paying attention to our sugar and starch intake, eating plenty of healthy fats and vegetables, and getting enough exercise can all dramatically improve our insulin sensitivity and reduce our risk of heart disease and other metabolic issues. 

For the next few weeks, I’ll be featuring in-depth episodes from my Longevity Roadmap docu-series. Today, we’re talking all about heart health. Throughout this episode, you’ll learn everything you need to know about preventing and treating cardiovascular disease from a functional perspective, from innovative testing to at-home lifestyle changes.
