On the topic of brain health, he shares that drinking more tea, and eating dark chocolate and berries, may help prevent dementia. Plus, collagen powder could promote bone health, and cafestol in coffee may help with weight management.

The main focus returns to cardiometabolic health—a state that only 7% of Americans achieve. Dr. Kahn discusses last week's Senate session, which explored banning toxic chemicals from our food supply, particularly those aimed at children.

He also reviews headlines on whether cholesterol truly matters, along with a fascinating new hormone discovered this year that may explain why, in some individuals, a higher cholesterol diet doesn't necessarily raise blood cholesterol levels. Enjoy!

This week, Dr. Kahn dives into a critical but often overlooked nutrient: fiber. Learn how getting enough fiber from whole plant foods can drastically lower the risk of heart disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes—plus why animal products won't cut it.

The main focus is on advanced glycation end products, or AGEs—what they are, how we're exposed to them, and the damage they cause. A new study highlights how elevated levels, even in young people, can negatively impact arterial health. Once again, plant-based diets prove to be a powerful tool for wellness.

In this episode of Heart Doc VIP, Dr. Joel Kahn is back in London, attending the ESC meeting, where he dives into a headline-making report about three lab tests that can predict a 30-year heart risk in women (and men too!).

He also explores several key health topics, including microplastics in the brain, PFAS exposure during pregnancy, the best time to take blood pressure medications, micronutrient deficiencies, cholesterol in young people, the benefits of cruciferous vegetables for blood pressure, cell phone use and heart disease, low-carb diets and diabetes risk, colchicine for heart disease, and the dangers of stopping statins.

Happy Holidays (in the USA)! Dr. Kahn reports from the European Society of Cardiology in London, England, where headlines were popping all week with new and important topics.

Dr. Kahn discusses the impact of menopause on cholesterol measurements, the need to check Lipoprotein(a) levels in everyone at least once, the benefits of catching up on sleep over the weekend, the perks of quitting smoking 100%, the impact of obesity on heart disease deaths, and the lack of benefit from long-term beta-blocker medications after a heart attack.

He then dives into more esoteric topics, such as the optimal treatment of heart valve disease. The final topic is transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), a rare but significant heart condition. A promising new therapy was reported on in London. Enjoy the journey!

Next, he examines the connection between TV viewing in young adults and future heart disease risk. And finally, a topic sure to spark debate: a discussion of seed oils and their impact on health, not disease!

The major theme of this episode ties into the #MakeAmericaHealthyAgain movement, exploring the intersection of metabolic health and disease—a topic that has reached national headlines and major podcasts like Tucker Carlson's. Dr. Kahn delves into how you can assess your metabolic and heart health. Remember: Don't forget the heart—#TestNotGuess!

In this episode, Dr. Kahn dives into the latest research on healthy fats and lifespan, the link between untreated hypertension and dementia risk, red meat's connection to colon cancer, and the role of TMAO in heart failure. He also discusses why ApoB might be a better cholesterol test.
