Optimize Paleo by Paleovalley
INSIDE THE EPISODE You’ve likely heard that polyunsaturated fats (omega-3’s and omega-6’s) are essential for health, but what you might now know is that the balance between them is equally as important.

info_outlineWe’ve all heard dietary saturated fat and cholesterol cause heart disease - but what you might not know - is that the evidence for this belief is not as foolproof as we’ve been led to believe.
And given that heart disease is still America’s #1 kill responsible for almost 700,000 deaths per year - understanding what you can do to prevent it is paramount.
In this week’s podcast with the author of Understanding The Heart: Surprising Insights Into The Evolutionary Origins Of Heart Disease - And Why It Matters, Dr. Hussey, we explore 3 little-known (and preventable) causes of heart-based issues and the common misunderstandings keep us stuck.
Dr. Hussey provides invaluable insights given his clinical experience and admitted obsession with the heart, but also because he experienced a heart attack and the shortcomings of current systems and strategies personally in 2020.
This conversation was truly fascinating and I hope you walk away feeling as surprised and informed as I did. :) Here are some of my favorite takeaways:
- The link between intense exercise and heart attacks
- The best test for preventing heart attacks
- The biggest misconception around heart disease
- Why heart attacks occur without a blockage
- The #1 risk factor for heart disease
- The food most of us are eating that may be linked to heart disease
- Why collagen is important for the heart
- Lifestyle tips for heart disease prevention
- Why the sauna is especially heart healthy
- The supplement that can prevent clots as well as medications
- The animal-based nutrients that protect the heart
- The link between heart and dental health
- And so much more!
