How to End Heart Disease with Dr. Fuhrman

Heart disease is not an inevitable part of aging. It is largely preventable, and in many cases reversible, when we focus on the root causes instead of just managing lab numbers. The most powerful tools for protecting your heart are not found in a procedure or a prescription. They are built into the choices you make every day. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death, yet most conventional approaches focus on managing numbers rather than addressing the root cause. Cholesterol drugs and elective stents can be lifesaving in emergencies, but they often fail to prevent future heart attacks or stop the disease process itself. In this episode of the Eat to Live Podcast, Dr. Joel Fuhrman explains what actually triggers a heart attack and why our current medical model often misses the most important drivers of risk. While medications and procedures have a role, lasting protection requires understanding what is happening inside the arteries and how lifestyle directly influences that process.
