Avoid a Heart Attack by Doing THIS | Ep. 425 with Preventative Cardiologist Dr. Milind Parikh

My heart is literally on fire today…and not because of a workout —but because we’re going deep on HEART HEALTH with one of the top preventative cardiologists in the country, Dr. Milind Parikh.

This is personal for me. My dad died of a heart attack at 58. I’ve got the genetics. I’ve also got the drive to outlive it. And now, I’ve got the data AND treatments to potentially stave off the #1 Killer in America—heart attack.

On today’s IMPACT SHOW episode, Dr. Parikh walks us through what it means to be a preventative cardiologist, why most heart attacks are 100% preventable, and how A.I.-powered Coronary CT scans are revolutionizing modern medicine. This is what is now being called Medicine 3.0 — and friends, it’s here. Here are some of the things we discuss:

• What is “preventative cardiology” and what exactly do you do?
• The 4 pillars of heart health and how you can improve each one of them.
• Why we have it wrong many times and WHY “normal” cholesterol doesn’t guarantee a healthy heart.
• The difference between soft plaque vs. hard plaque (this is BIG!); which one is “good” and which one is “bad.”
• What exactly is a CT heart scan and what do you look for?
• How the software & technology in a Coronary CT scan with A.I. plaque analysis & FFR shows the difference between “soft plaque” and “hard plaque” and your true risk of having a heart attack.
• What causes plaque buildup in the heart?
• How does the A.I. fit into all of this and what is its role?
• The million dollar question: “Can you reverse plaque buildup and if so, HOW?”
• Why sleep apnea (often called the “Silent killer”) can ultimately stress your heart and ultimately cause a heart attack/death.
• The power of early detection of heart disease and how a Coronary CT scan with A.I. plaque analysis can help prevent a coronary episode.
• Supplements & new meds that may reverse plaque. This is interesting!
• Why you must start testing NOW— even if you “feel fine.”
• What’s next in Medicine 3.0 and what is your role in this cutting-edge field?

This is one of the most important episodes I’ve ever done. Again, it’s something near & dear to my heart (pardon the pun). If you have a family history of heart disease OR you just want to maximize your health and prevent heart disease, this is a MUST LISTEN to episode. If you love LIFE and want to stave off coronary disease or a heart attack, DO NOT MISS THIS ONE…your LIFE may depend on it.
