The Reversing Heart Disease Summit 3.0 is now live! Register today to access expert insights on heart health: Reversing Heart Disease Summit.

This week, Dr. Kahn explores new research on Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], a topic he has long studied. He discusses recent findings on Lp(a)’s potential protective role in the liver and its link to calcific aortic stenosis, a condition affecting the aortic valve.

Additional topics include new insights into long COVID and the potential role of nicotine, the benefits of the Prolon fasting-mimicking diet for gum health, and how hearing loss may contribute to cognitive decline—along with how diet might help.

Dr. Kahn also breaks down the relationship between cardiac health and brain function (Life’s Essential 8) and reviews another study confirming that statins may help protect against dementia. Plus, he shares a fascinating case study on the Kempner diet and its effects.
