🩺ABOUT DR. BREWER
Dr. Brewer started as an Emergency Doctor. After seeing too many preventable heart attacks, he went to Johns Hopkins to learn Preventive Medicine. While there, he went on the run the post-graduate training program (residency) in Preventive Medicine. From there, he made a career of practicing and managing preventive medicine and primary care clinics. His later role in this area was Chief Medical Officer for Premise, which has close to 1,000 primary care/prevention clinics. He was also the Chief Medical Officer for MDLIVE, the second largest telemedicine company. More recently, he founded PrevMed, a heart attack, and stroke prevention clinic.

At PrevMed, we focus on heart attack, stroke, and cognitive decline. We serve patients who have already experienced an event as well as those who have not developed a diagnosis or event. Dr. Brewer provides services via telemedicine or in-person to individuals all over the world. We find a lot of undiagnosed prediabetes or insulin resistance. Treating unrecognized risk factors like prediabetes allows reduction of risk and prevention of disease.

Dr Brewer, do you see patients? If so, where?

[roblowry]

4 years ago, I was diagnosed with a 'total chronic occlusion' of my LAD. I was 63 years old, and had been doing regular aerobic exercise for 30 years. During the angioplasty, my cardiologist could see that collateral arteries had formed a bypass around the blockage. They gave me a couple of medications and told me to continue exercising. I don't often hear about collateral arteries. My cardiologist believes that because of my exercise, these arteries formed to compensate as the LAD was closing off- life style saved my life.

Lifestyle is the best medicine thanks Dr Brewer

[RadioReprised]

When you are rushed to the ER and then told you are about to die you get little chance to woke up with 6 stents, 5 in the LAD and 1 in the RCA . . .all 90+% blocked. I don't think I had a choice, but I wasn't told there was an option. I have radically changed lifestyle and hope to never be in that boat again!

It's hard for healthcare to make money recommending lifestyle changes compared to prescribing pills or ordering operations. I've decided that when it comes down to it, I'm responsible for my own healthcare and refuse to obediently surrender to the decisions of my doctor who in reality works for me.

[paullatour]

I have been watching this channel for quite a while now and love the information. I had a heart attack 6 years ago due to a narrow artery since birth. I received two stents and have made major lifestyle changes based on your videos. I find very little information on living with stents and am curious if there are things I should be doing differently vs your general recommendations. Thanks for all you and your team do.

Suggestions for an artery that is 90% blocked? With ongoing, documented chest pain

[RoryVanucchi]

yes every procedure weakens the core body so it's a slippery slope

[sjauk]

This video presents a strange dichotomy, that isn’t normally faced in real life, To me, lifestyle, drugs and stents seem to be three completely different interventions that probably work with different modalities. In my experience, doctors recommend all three combined to their heart patients. Anyone who just relies on the heart stent to unblock their arteries and doesn’t change their lifestyle is probably foolish. A more useful question would be which combinations of therapies are the most successful. The lifestyle changes demands most from the patient, and thus is probably hardest to maintain. The statin drugs seem to have an anti-inflammatory effect, but have unwanted side effects. The stents come with a significant operative risk and limited duration of efficacy.

[chuckbecker]

They put 2 or 3 or 4 stents in me without asking, informing, or telling me anything before, during, or after. I was fully coherent and educated on stents prior to this since I work in healthcare. I thought they were prepping me for a normal diagnostic procedure. They were ruthless, brutal, sadistic and crooked in every possible manner and way.
