Why Heart Disease is NOT the #1 Killer: A Closer Look

The #1 cause of death in America should not be Heart Disease. We are placing way too much emphasis on lowering blood pressure to prevent heart disease.

When the CDC states that heart disease is #1 cause of death, they are actually looking at an effect of the real cause.

High blood pressure is a symptom of a bigger, underlying problem.

A problem that very few doctors are actually testing. And a problem that 88% of adults in America have.

It’s not being overweight or obese. In fact, this problem can exist even at a healthy weight.

This problem is insulin resistance, and inflammation.

These are the biggest killers in America, not heart disease.

In fact, high blood pressure is often the first sign of insulin resistance.

So if you have high blood pressure, that should be an indicator to also check for insulin resistance.

This wonderful, eye-opening video solidifies what I've known for many years! Thank you, Dr. Morgan! And hello from Alabama! At 60 years old, I eat only whole foods, low carb and higher healthful fats. I'm not bragging, just trying to help someone else. My triglycerides are 39, my HDL-C is 107, HOMA-IR is well below one, and I stay on the move, etc. If everyone followed such an eating and exercise plan, these over priced doctors would have to lower their over-inflated prices. LOL. I've never had to take meds, never sick (knock on wood), etc. At 60 years old, I have run circles around people young enough to be my grandchildren. If someone's health is not too bad, I can tell you what I do. It should help you. Again, thank you, Dr. Morgan. Love your great video!

None of my current Dr's care about preventing disease. I agree 100% with this video.
By changing what I ate and when I ate it I was able to STOP taking drugs for high blood pressure which I took for 20 years and stopped taking drugs for gout and was able to reverse my fasting glucose levels.
So many sugary foods I miss along with crap restaurant food and it goes well past crap fast food. Even restaurant food from chain restaurants is crap. Read their nutrition guides online and you will discover chain restaurants food is anything but healthy. Healthier to eat at home, cheaper too.
In a nutshell 99% of GP doctors could careless about preventing a disease. Like one Dr told me there is NO MONEY TO BE MADE FROM EMPTY WAITING ROOMS. He had a point. John in Ohio

Wife and I both have IR even though we have eaten very carbs and healthy lifestyle for years. Nothing has helped yet. In our early 70’s. Lost on what to do that does work. Watched tons of videos. ❤

I wish Doctors listen to Drs like you my Dr refuse to do the insulin levels test state it was not relevant.
I ignore all her advice and lost 20 kgs went to a different Dr who also disagreed but at least listen and together reduce BP medication now I don’t need one .
Yearly ask me if I will go on statins I refuse because my HDL and Triglycerides are perfect .
Unfortunately, preventive medicine is very expensive in Australia which leads to the person to take control and self educate
Thank you for your information

Bravo! I agree! However; Zero chance the establishment will acknowledge this. If they fixed insulin resistance, can you imagine the healthy avalanche of business loss that would happen to them!?

Dr Morgan, as always, you speak so clearly with so much wisdom. Thank you.🙏💫😊

“Nothing to see here folks! Our life expectancy isn’t dropping because of this! Every other doctor has it wrong!”

I bet you oversold the 🦠 💉 and told people not to take horse medicine too, huh!? 😂 It’s insane to me that anyone would suggest we don’t have a MAJOR problem. Three times the number of COVID in 2020, but let’s ignore that.
