How Fasting and Diet can Prevent Heart Disease Especially for High Risk Patients like South Asians

This lecture is centered around Coronary Artery Disease in South Asians, but most of this information applies to everyone. Understanding the links between heart disease and our diet, genetics, hormones, and gut bacteria is so important. It was great to partner with the Indian American Business Association with our first Heart Health Event together. We hosted it here at Cardiovascular Interventions and provided members with tours of our facility then ended the night with this lecture.

It is funny how my doctors I am seeing are telling me not to believe everything I see on the internet! It is doctors like this and many others on-line that have guided me to get results! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This man saved my life in the cath lab. His skill as an interventionalist is extraordinary.

I am a family medicine physician and your teachings have changed my approach to nutrition and advising my patients. My desire is to help treat patients and to go at the underlying and root cause. The carbohydrate intake and continuous feeding in modern mankind is unprecedented and contributing significantly to chronic diseases - the root cause being hyperinsulinemia. We were not taught this in medical school or residency training. At the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, we had one day of nutrition and even that was outdated information. We are taught mostly to prescribe, not to go at the root cause. Thank you so much for teaching all of us. I feel a newfound love for going to work everyday because my mission now is much clearer because of greater understanding. I am sharing your teachings with my colleagues and all of my patients. Thank you Dr. Jamnadas

He is the only person who transformed a total foodie and a doctor to transform his life from 102kg, obese, post CABG person to a rejuvenated fitter and younger person in 10mths- starting at the age of 72! He is one of the best medical educator colleague- his passion and inspiration is highly infectious! Would love to meet him if he comes to UK.

I started IF (intermittent fasting) on Sunday 11/6 and have survived 17-18 hour fasts everyday since. Skipping my sugary breakfast was so easy I’m not even hungry or hangry as Dr says… his videos are the most informative I’ve seen.
My goal is to get off BP meds

[angelawillis]

This has saved my life! This is the way! I'm living proof. I started my journey in April of 2020 at 400 lbs and extreme metabolic syndrome. My metabolic age was over 70 in my 30's. I was dying. Very low quality of life. So much agony. My Dr was at a loss as to what to do for me. This morning, my weight is 179.4. My metabolic age has reversed to 51 at 46. All of my ailments have just gone away. I'm in day 3 of a full fast for the first time. I feel amazing.
This is the human diet. Grass-fed grass-finished meats. True, free-range chickens and eggs. Full fat dairy and vegetables. One meal a day. But I eat very little because I'm in a pretty constant state of satiety. Start today! Good luck!

We are fortunate to have a brilliant doctor that tells it like it is.

[bonypp]

This doctor is so clear in his knowledge and explanation but I’m surprised he’s got less subscribers then the other You tubers who are not even as qualified in his field. Thank you doctor . God bless .

[tsvetelinadimitrova]

As a nurse I would love to work with a doctor who gives patients the right advice… it’s frustrating when you are always chasing problems instead of preventing them

[rebeccasanford]

OMG! I just found this channel on my Feed. It’s 2am and I’m STILL listening. I have learned more about Diet, Nutrition, Diabetes and CAD process in the last 2 hours than I did as an RN for 38 years! Unfortunately…I spent more than 1/2 my life (66) following ALL the Post 1950’s “Medical Information”. 🤦🏻‍♀️
Thank you for opening my eyes and mind!

[sireeshatalapaneni]

I am a physician and I really enjoyed your detailed explanation. Thank you for taking time to provide evidence based information for preventative care 🙏

[naominawasaitoga]
