The #1 cause of death worldwide hasn't changed in 50 years and we're still missing the root of the problem.

Dr. Z sits down with Dr. Tom O'Bryan, leading functional medicine expert and creator of The Inflammation Equation, to uncover how inflammation, not cholesterol, is the true driver of cardiovascular disease, dementia, autoimmune conditions, and more.
