Join Dr. Joel Kahn as he invites you to register for the Reversing Heart Disease Naturally Summit 3.0: drtalks.com/summit/reversing-heart-disease.

This week, Dr. Kahn dives into fascinating new studies on topics such as forest bathing, glyphosate (RoundUp) and its connection to heart disease, the risks of carnivore and ketogenic diets, fat accumulation in muscles, and the health benefits of legumes like lentils in managing pre-diabetes.

The main focus of the episode is an in-depth look at the latest research on heart calcium and CT imaging. Dr. Kahn discusses the predictive power of calcium scores, particularly when results exceed the 90th percentile. He also reviews findings from the SCOT-HEART study, which compared CT angiography to standard care, demonstrating improved outcomes when clinicians have CT data. Additional topics include the role of CT imaging in detecting heart disease in athletes and the significance of breast artery calcium as a marker of cardiovascular health.
