Cardiovascular Disease, also known as "Heart Disease," is one of the leading causes of adult death. Heart diseases often remain undiagnosed due to the absence of typical symptoms and the diversity of symptoms that can mimic other health conditions.

Today Dr. Stephen Hussey, a Chiropractor, Speaker, Author, and the Owner and Lead Health Coach at Resource Your Health, talks about heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and their causes. He also debunks the myths surrounding these diseases and shares certain foods that influence your risk of having them.

Dr. Stephen Hussey MS, DC, is a Chiropractor and Functional Medicine practitioner. He attained both his Doctorate of Chiropractic and Masters in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine from the University of Western States in Portland, OR. He is a health coach, speaker, and the author of two books on health; The Health Evolution: Why Understanding Evolution is the Key to Vibrant Health and Understanding The Heart: Surprising Insights Into The Evolutionary Origins Of Heart Disease - And Why It Matters. Dr. Hussey guides clients from around the world back to health by using the latest research and health-attaining strategies. In his downtime, he likes to be outdoors, plays sports, read, write, and travel.
