I always knew I had a high susceptibility to heart disease, family history, high blood lipids, borderline high blood pressure and an A1C that was high normal. I tried several statins with terrible side effects, so I have been on a WFPB SOS free diet for many years. It helped my lipids, but they were always still above normal. I kept my bmi at 20, and exercise daily. But at 69 it caught up with me! 3 weeks ago I had a big heart attack, fortunately, I got to the hospital quickly and with a wonderful cardiologist I had 4 stents placed and removal of a large blood clot. I’m starting to feel better now, I can take slow walks, and do housework and cooking. I’m doing well on a new statin that doesn’t cause me pain, and Zetia, blood thinners and beta blockers. And I’m feeling pretty grateful to still be here. I’m embracing modern medicine and hope to get some more years ahead of me. I just want to say lifestyle for some of us won’t get us into old age. But it’s probably going to help me get back to a normal life again quickly. ❤️

Why doesn't this channel have at least a million subscribers? We need to spread the word people and end all the B.S. we're being put through from most nutrition influencers.

Hey Gil! Thank you for your content.

I just wanted to give you a little tip coming from someone who’s a sound engineer and who consumes your content mostly on earphones or in the car.

You might want to compress your voice a bit to reduce the dynamic range. Currently, there are some quiet parts and some dramatic spikes in volume when you speak louder. This makes it a bit challenging to listen to comfortably, as I have to keep the volume low to avoid the louder parts hurting my ears.

A little compression can help balance out the volume levels, making your videos more enjoyable for listeners in varying environments.

Thanks again for all the valuable information you provide!

This video really cleared it all up for me. I never fully understood how all the things fit together to better control my outcome because I have a ton of genetic risk and family history risk. Thank you Dr. Carvalho

I love this video! It is such a clear explanation of the basics of atherosclerosis, it is like the clouds have finally parted! I now "get" the importance of ApoB, yay! Thanks so much, Gil. As a layman who is interested in nutrition and disease prevention, I find your videos incredibly helpful. Thank you, thank you!!

Another great video Gil. You are really a shining light in the dark tunnel of so many of other health videos, especially on this topic. Hope all is well...

Love this - clear with great analogies...with one tiny exception - bullets of course don't contain gunpowder... they are lumps of metal launched using gunpowder. The cholesterol is the metal inside the bullet. Some bullets are big and heavy, some smaller and lighter (some may contain more complex structures inside the jacket etc) - but I'll be sharing the video as overall it is excellent and everyone could learn a lot from it.

Great video! Very helpful, especially for those who are just entering the field of health self-improvement.

This is the best explanation of this topic that I have come across. The emphasis on the many factors that contribute to heart disease is refreshing and enlightening. It's clear to me now that treatment is a very personal issue. There is probably not a one size fits all treatment for all people. Thanks for making this video.

I have a high calcium score, I found out from a X-ray of my hip that showed calcium in my arteries. Besides that’s in good health for a 67 year old man. I love your videos cause it grounds me and gives me HOPE

I’ve been watching your videos over the last few years and just want to let you know how useful I find your content. It’s very difficult to find diet information (besides reading articles from the top university journals). Whenever I get confused or feel like I’ve forgotten key aspects that make up a healthy lifestyle, I always come back to your channel to re-educate myself.
