Summary:
In Episode 38 of the Performance Podcasting series, hosts Coach Kyle and Doctor K dive deep into heart health. They discuss various preventative measures, dietary recommendations, advanced testing, and therapies to maintain and improve cardiovascular health. The conversation spans practical tips for everyone, specialized advice for those with a family history of heart issues, and advanced treatments for individuals with moderate to severe heart disease. Topics covered include the role of diet and lifestyle, cholesterol management, the importance of exercise, advanced imaging techniques, supplements, peptides, and innovative therapies like Plaque-X and V cells. The episode concludes by emphasizing the importance of working with health professionals and encouraging listeners to take proactive steps for their heart health.
Takeaways:
- Basics of Heart Health: Diet and lifestyle are foundational for heart health, emphasizing the avoidance of trans fats, limiting saturated fats, and managing carbohydrate intake while focusing on whole, natural foods. Proper cholesterol management requires understanding different types of cholesterol and focusing on triglycerides and ApoB for accurate risk assessment.
- Preventative Measures: Regular exercise, including strength training 2-3 times a week and daily walks, is crucial, especially for those with a family history of heart disease. Supplementation with fat-soluble vitamins (D, A, K, and E) and specific supplements like red rice yeast extract, GG-Gold, and CoQ10 can effectively manage cholesterol levels.
- Advanced Testing: Comprehensive lipid panels that include markers like ApoB and VLDL are necessary for an accurate heart health assessment. Advanced imaging techniques, such as the coronary calcium score scan, provide detailed risk assessments by measuring calcium deposits in the arteries.
- Moderate to Severe Heart Disease Treatments: Advanced treatments like EDTA chelation and Plaque-X can significantly improve arterial health by removing heavy metals and calcium buildup. While effective, these treatments can be costly, typically ranging from $250 to $500 per session.
- Peptides and Stem Cell Therapies: Peptides like Thymosin Beta-4 (TB-500) and peptide bioregulators aid in regenerating heart tissue and improving heart function. Stem cell therapies, including IV stem cells and exosomes, offer targeted treatment options for heart health improvement.
- Importance of Professional Guidance: Health coaches and functional medicine practitioners can assist in interpreting test results and tailoring treatment plans, making the journey to better heart health more manageable. Proactive measures and early interventions can significantly improve heart health and prevent long-term cardiovascular issues.
- Community and Resources: Engaging with the podcast community by following, rating, and sharing helps spread high-quality health information. Listeners are encouraged to reach out to the hosts for personalized advice and guidance, fostering a collaborative effort towards better heart health.

- EDTA - EDTA is an intravenous chelating agent with high affinity to divalent cations (lead, cadmium, and calcium) that may be beneficial in the treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
- PlaqueX- Plaque-X is a mixture of essential phospholipids made from soy beans that has the remarkable ability to reduce plaque deposition on the artery wall. It also lowers blood cholesterol and homocysteine levels. The end result is a marked improvement in cardiac function.
