He also discusses several key topics, including a new study on statins reducing dementia risk, Omega-3’s role in slowing aging, the hidden harms of juicing, microplastics in the brain, menopause and artery health, luteolin for dark hair, and the impact of telemedicine coaching on diabetic heart patients.

This week, Dr. Joel Kahn addresses a bold claim making the rounds: “Cholesterol doesn’t matter—it’s all about insulin resistance (IR).” Is that really true? Dr. Kahn breaks down the science, explaining how IR is measured, its connection to heart disease, and the best ways to improve metabolic health.

Since it’s Heart Month, Dr. Kahn also revisits the top risk factors for heart disease—still the leading cause of death for both men and women. He explores the life-extending benefits of a plant-based diet, along with surprising heart health hacks, from flossing your teeth to taking forest walks (yes, really). Plus, new research on why avoiding cigars and pipes is just as important as skipping cigarettes.

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.

The week saw two significant FDA updates: the ban on Red Dye 3 and a proposal for clearer front-of-package labeling. Dr. Kahn also discusses a new study on time-restricted eating and highlights research on reversing atherosclerosis in brain arteries using intensive cholesterol-lowering medications.

As a passionate advocate for plant-based nutrition, Dr. Kahn emphasizes the importance of eating colorful, whole plant foods. He shares a concerning new study from the Harvard School of Public Health, which links red meat consumption to memory loss. Finally, a groundbreaking paper from the University of Michigan quantifies how our food choices affect longevity.

The study reveals that eating just one hot dog may shorten life by 36 minutes, while a plant-based meal could add 48 minutes. It's a striking reminder of how every food choice can impact our health over a lifetime.

As pioneers in heart disease reversal, the founders of the Bale-Doneen Method have been at the forefront of advancing preventive cardiology. Amy Doneen, DPN, runs a successful practice in Spokane, WA, called The Prevention Center. With decades of experience in patient care, there’s much to learn from her expertise. This is an engaging and insightful discussion.
