My guest today is Dr. Peter McCullough.

*Disclaimer - I am not a doctor and this should not be interpreted as medical advice. Please consult your doctor when making decisions concerning treatment and prevention of disease. 

Dr. McCullough is not just, aboard-certified cardiologist and internist, but the most published cardiologist in the history of his field. He spearheaded the Covid early treatment movement, researching and treating patients with a combination of drugs such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. Due to the success of this research, he was asked to testify to congress regarding treatment options to end the covid pandemic. 

His work has become more mainstream after appearing on the popular Joe Rogan podcast, opening up an important dialogue about vaccine efficacy, natural immunity, early treatment protocols.

In this episode, I ask Dr. McCullough why so many doctors and scientists draw different conclusions from the same data, what neutraceuticals we can have at home to be prepared when encountering covid, where he believes our major academic medical institutions dropped the ball, what to consider when considering vaccinating children, and even whom he would want to see play him in a movie. 

ABOUT DR. McCULLOUGH:

Dr. McCullough is board certified in internal medicine, cardiovascular diseases, and clinical lipidology.  He cares for advanced patients with common medical problems including heart and kidney disease, lipid disorders, and diabetes.  He has become an expert on COVID-19 illnesses and welcomes recovered patients into his practice.

About Wylie McGraw

For more than a decade, I’ve been behind
the scenes ERUPTING high-achievers
from all walks of life.

My path began with fellow combat veterans who were struggling with PTSD
while trying to transition back into civilian life.

My success with them led to working with various health professionals, high-powered executives, professional athletes, celebrities, and influencers. 

As referrals continued to mount, I felt it was time to make myself more accessible to other leaders looking for – and asking about – similar next-level performance.

Today, I work intimately with a select handful of CEOs, executives, and leaders who are willing to do whatever it takes to blow past their limits and master their lives.

Leaders call me because they want their life back!
