CLIENT SUCCESS STORY: A 55 year old woman came to see me because she had a recent increase in her statin medication and she was anxious given her family history of heart disease and her medical conditions. She had a coronary calcium score test of 194, which was 98th percentile for age, ethnicity and gender, indicating a significant amount of plaque in her coronary arteries. She had joined my 6 week heart optimization group program in March and then joined my VIP one on one Program in May. She had her blood tested before the start of the group program and then in July, two months into the VIP program. We worked together to a) optimize her risk profile by focusing on what we are ADDINg to her diet and in the right balance and volume for effective results, b) understand plaque formation to prevent further promotion of plaque and to assist with its stabilization c) how to implement these heart health optimization strategies into her busy and fast paced lifestyle. In 4 months, she lowered her LDL by 55 points (from 87mg/dL to 32mg/dL) and the doctor reduced the dosage of her statin medication. She reduced her triglycerides (TG) levels by 50 points (144mg/dL to 94mg/dL) increased her HDL (from 40mg/dL to 58mg/dL), lowered hsCRP from 3.2mg/dL to 0.7mg/dL, and reduced her waist circumference by 2 inches. The best part is she has more energy, and she feels better in all aspects of her health! ⭐️ From triglycerides to blood sugar to LDL to apoB to HDL to inflammatory markers like hsCRP - ALL of these cardiometabolic labs matter - and we can optimize them through science based nutrition to help reduce your risk of cardiovascular events! ⭐️ Join my upcoming 6-week heart optimization group program starting July 12th. I will teach you how to implement science-based nutrition to address inflammation, insulin resistance, abnormal lipids, oxidative stress, and optimize your cardiovascular health to reduce your risk of a heart attack. ⭐️ The group has limited spots available! 👉🏼 To secure your spot, join today: https://lnkd.in/ecCQWHrQ ❤️I look forward to supporting you on your heart health journey! #coronaryarterydisease #coronaryheartdisease #coronaryangiography #coronarycalciumscore #heartattack #heartattacksurvivor #heartattackprevention #heartattackrecovery #hearthealth #hearthealthy #hearthealthydiet #hearthealthawareness #hearthealthyliving #highcalciumscore #hearthealthyrecipes #heartdisease #heartdiseaseawareness #heartdiseaseprevention #heartdiseasesurvivor #heartdiseasewarrior #heartdiseasesupport #highcholesterol #cardiacbypasssurgery #cardiacrehab #cardiacsurgery #cardiacdiet #heartfailureawareness #heartfailure #heartfailuresurvivor #heartfailurediet

No one wants to die of a heart attack. Also known as a myocardial infarction (M.I.), a heart attack ❤️ , along with strokes 🧠 , retinal artery occlusion 👁 , acute mesenteric ischemia 🤢 , and critical limb ischemia 💪 , represent a cluster of diseases associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). What does this all even mean? High levels of a specific type of cholesterol, can accumulate in the arteries and, coupled with an inflammatory response, result in plaques called atherosclerosis. 😨 Without effectively addressing these plaques through lifestyle, medical, or sometimes even surgical treatments, the risk of these plaques blocking off an artery or breaking off the blood vessel wall and blocking off a smaller artery or vessel downstream becomes even more concerning. 🚨 A blocked blood vessel means decreased to absent blood flow to our body's tissues. Decreased to absent blood flow means decreased oxygen delivery, which means decreased metabolism and energy production, ⚡ which means... Cell death ➡ tissue death ➡ organ death ➡ multi-organ damage or failure if not addressed in an adequate and/or timely manner 🚨 And no. Unfortunately, just because you are a young, healthy, exercising-loving individual with no family history of any of the above conditions, it does not mean you get to ignore the reality of these conditions. The world in which we live, including the air quality ⛅ , degree of microplastic exposure 🍶 , and highly processed food items 🥫 , has introduced many variables with still unknown and likely concerning effects. It is a very different world from the one where even our parents lived in their 20s and 30s. So, here are some things to consider to protect and perhaps restore our blood vessels, organs, overall health, and quality of life: 1. Meet regularly and often with a qualified healthcare professional to discuss your health and risks 👩⚕️ 2. Maintain a healthy sleep 😴 , diet 🥑 , and exercise 🏃♂️ to protect and optimize your metabolic function 3. Take ownership of your health with curiosity 🤔 and intentionality 😤 Despite our consumer-driven model of healthcare, no one can "give" you health. Be intentional. Be curious. Do your best to claim your health by working with trusted healthcare providers, even if life hasn't dealt you a good hand. For those who haven't been dealt a good hand, my heart goes out to you. ❤️ It is for you I went into medicine. We will continue to work to better understand you and how we can best help you live your healthiest and happiest life. #healthcare #medicine #metabolism #cardiovasculardisease #publichealth ——————————————————————————————————— My name is Wyatt Corbin, and I am a resident physician passionate about public health and health education. *All my posts are purely educational or expressive of my thoughts and opinions, are not to be intended or taken as medical advice, and do not represent my employer or educational institution.*

When I have talked about getting the Lipoprotein(a) test before, many of you mentioned how you got pushback from your physician. On April 1st, the national lipid association (NLA) put out a press release with updated guideline which should help you advocate for this test at your next appointment. Happy to share the link, just send me a message with LIPOPROTEIN(A). What does the update say? 1️⃣ The NLA’s focused update on Lp(a) is backed from research emphasizing the link between cardiovascular risk and elevated values. This stresses the importance of universal Lp(a) level assessment among adults, acknowledging that Lp(a) testing is currently not standard practice and must be incorporated to enhance preventive strategies. 2️⃣ Risk categories determined by Lp(a) levels are low (<75 nmol/L), intermediate (75-125 nmol/L), and high (≥125 nmol/L), with additional screening recommended for relatives of those at high risk. 3️⃣ Those who have elevated Lp(a) need early and intensive treatment to lower their heightened risk. This includes lifestyle changes to optimize cardio-metabolic risk factors, lipid-lowering drugs, and, in some cases, treatments like lipoprotein apheresis. ⭐️ Know your numbers and understand what you need to do to lower your risk of cardiovascular disease and its complications. 👉🏼 Join my next 6 week heart optimization group program on May 10th to understand how to optimize your heart health through science based nutrition and implement effective strategies. ❤️ Spots are limited and filling up fast!

In this study of 83239 patients with constipation (including people who were prescribed laxatives) were matched with 832,384 controls without constipation to assess the risk of cardiovascular disease in individuals with constipation. It showed that constipation was associated with 2x risk of venous thromboembolism, 24% heart attack, 50% ischemic stroke, 34% increased risk of peripheral artery disease, 27% increase risk of Atrial Fibrillation (Afib) or atrial flutter and 52% risk of heart failure. Why may this be? Some proposed mechanisms: 1️⃣ Constipation, aka decreased gut motility may cause inflammation in the gut impairing gut health, which negatively impacts heart health and function. This may also contribute to stiffening in the arteries. 2️⃣ Chronic constipation may lead to straining at stools, which can also be associated with transient increases in blood pressure, and stiffness in the arteries putting extra pressure on the heart to function properly. 3️⃣ Constipation is associated with a dysbiosis in the gut microbiome. When gut health is impaired, the gut bacteria may not be able to create the positive metabolites from food to contribute to optimal heart health. 4️⃣ We also know if we are not eliminating properly, we aren’t effectively getting rid of LDL cholesterol which can cause more plaque to form in the arteries. ⚠️ Don’t ignore constipation and if you are relying on laxative use to go, I would seek further assistance from a qualified health professional. I talk about bowel health with all my clients because of its importance with optimal cardiovascular health. In the first 90 minute comprehensive evaluation session, many of my clients may say “I am regular,” but when they start paying attention to their bowel movements and as we work together to improve elimination, they admit “I wasn’t regular at all, now I know what a perfect bowel movement should be!” Aim for a type 4 on the bristol stool chart, with a little bit more volume. 👉🏼 Sign up to my email list, here (https://lnkd.in/eAEbtf_E) or on my website (entirelynourished.com), for more heart disease prevention tips.

Kidney and heart health are closely interconnected through various physiological mechanisms, to highlight a few: 1️⃣ Blood Pressure Regulation: The kidneys regulate blood pressure by managing fluid balance and releasing hormones like renin, while the heart pumps blood throughout the body. Dysfunction in either organ can lead to high blood pressure, putting strain on both the heart and kidneys and potentially leading to complications such as heart failure and chronic kidney disease. 2️⃣ Fluid and Micronutrient Balance: The kidneys regulate the body's fluid and electrolyte balance, which is essential for maintaining proper heart function. Imbalances in fluid and electrolytes can lead to conditions such as dehydration, electrolyte abnormalities, and fluid overload, all of which can affect heart function and increase the risk of cardiovascular events. 3️⃣ Inflammatory Processes: Chronic inflammation, often indicated by markers such as hsCRP and exacerbated by factors like increased abdominal weight, plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of kidney and heart diseases by promoting endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and fibrosis, ultimately leading to tissue damage and organ dysfunction. 4️⃣ Abnormal cardiometabolic labs: particularly LDL, apoB, and blood sugar can promote atherosclerosis, leading to narrowed arteries and reduced blood flow to both organs. ⭐️ The kidneys and heart are closely interconnected organs that rely on each other for proper function. Dysfunction in one organ can significantly impact the other, highlighting the importance of comprehensive care and management strategies that address both kidney and heart health. 👉🏼 We need to focus on addressing all the controllable risk factors to optimize both heart and kidney health. ❤️ For a deep dive into science based nutrition to address these controllable risk factors to protect your heart and optimize blood flow to all organs of your body, consider joining my next 6 week heart optimization group program that begins on Friday, March 22nd! 👉🏼 Limited spots available, enroll today to secure your spot: https://lnkd.in/ecCQWHrQ #bloodpressure #bloodpressurecontrol #bloodpressuremonitor #bloodpressureproblems #bloodpressurecheck #bloodpressurehealth #bloodpressureculf #bloodpressuretest #lowerbloodpressure #lowerbloodpressurefoods #lowerbloodpressurenaturally #hypertensiontreamtent #hypertensiondiet #hypertensionmanagement #hypertensiontips #hypertensionsupport #hypertensionawareness #hypertension #hypertensionprevention #strokeprevention #transieentischemicattack #ministroke #heartattacksurvivor #heartattackprevention #hearthealthyfood #hearthealthyfoods #heartdisease #heartdiseaseawareness #preventandreverseheartdisease #heartdiseaseprevention

Is it time to have a Heart Check Up? Heart disease is a term used to refer to different heart conditions. These conditions include Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), Heart Failure, Arrhythmia, Cardiac Arrest, Heart Attack, Pericarditis and #Congenital Heart Defect. A heart check is performed to help discover any symptoms or potential risk factors that could lead to #heartdisease #Cardiovascular #Health #Checkup helps you understand your risk factors for heart disease and predict your likelihood of having a heart attack or stroke in the next five years. There are several factors your doctor focuses on during a heart exam. 1. Family history If heart disease runs in your family, your risk of developing it is higher based on genetic factors. Your doctor may ask several questions about any history of heart disease in your family. 2. Cholesterol During a heart exam, your doctor will measure the amount of cholesterol in your body. This will be done with a Lipid Panel Scan, which involves measuring three lipids in your blood. This type of scan will look at low-density lipoproteins (LDL), high-density lipoproteins (HDL), and triglycerides. If you have high LDL (bad cholesterol), low HDL (good cholesterol), or high triglyceride levels, you are at higher risk for heart disease. 3. Blood Pressure Levels Doctors will also look at the amount of pressure your blood puts on the artery walls as your heart pumps. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease. 4. Sugar Levels (Diabetes) Also pay attention to the level of sugar in your blood, also known as blood sugar levels. This is to control diabetes, another risk factor for heart disease and stroke. 5. Amount of C-Reactive Protein Doctors also screen for the amount of C-reactive protein (CRP) in your blood. High CRP levels are a direct indication of an inflammation or infection in your body. If your test records show high levels of CRP, this is an indicator of high-risk cardiovascular disease. 6. Abdominal Aorta Measurements The abdominal aorta is the main artery in your heart and the largest blood vessel in your body. When the lining of this blood vessel becomes swollen or enlarged, it leads to a condition known as Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. This condition is usually silent and only noticed in emergencies. Therefore, doctors may use ultrasound to measure your aorta during a heart exam.

“Don’t take Statins!” It’s a medication which is dished out fairly frequently but one which many patients fear taking due to reports of various side effects. I believe we should all take proactive steps to look after our health so here is some information about what can be done to increase longevity and your health span. Some doctors suggest that starting statins earlier in life could help prevent the development of atherosclerosis (the buildup of plaques in the arteries) over time. Atherosclerosis often begins in childhood and progresses silently, leading to cardiovascular disease in later years. By lowering LDL cholesterol levels early, statins could potentially slow or prevent the progression of this process. Unfortunately if you have a routine check up with your GP they are likely to do a risk score to see your chances of having a heart attack or stroke in the next 10 years. (Called a QRisk score). If this is above 10% they will likely suggest a statin. If it’s less than a 10% risk then often nothing will be done. Now, if there was a risk score of having lung cancer in the next 10 years if you were a smoker and your score came back below 10% its unlikely the doctor was say “carry on smoking” and we will recheck your score in another 5 years… But this is exactly what often happens with the QRisk score. So why might statins actually be a good thing to increase your health span? The rationale behind considering statins more broadly is based on the understanding that lower lifetime exposure to high LDL cholesterol is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular events. This is supported by observational data and clinical trials indicating that the earlier cholesterol levels are managed, the better the long-term cardiovascular outcomes. This is kind of similar to the reason so many young people get botox – its not because they already have wrinkles, but its to reduce muscle movement, therefore it will take longer for the wrinkles to finally occur when they are older. The key point is that you should get a routine health check by your medical provider to see if your cholesterol is elevated and then have a discussion with the doctor to see what action may be best for you. The majority of the time a health lifestyle is all that is required, but if your doctor is not forward thinking, you may be told your QRisk score is fine, so carry on doing what you want… and we’ll start treating you once you become ill. At Prestige Private Health Ltd we offer these full health checks for all our clients, then come up with a tailor made plan going forward, to ensure a long healthy future. Has your doctor ever discussed the Qrisk score with you? #CardiovascularHealth #PrivateGP #Longevity #Healthspan #PreventativeMedicine

#Mounjaro OR #Ozempic for weight loss and diabetes? Kelly Clarkson who has lost tremendous weight recently was telling her fans that her weight loss was due to exercise and diet. But recently, she did reveal the reason for her new look. It was Mounjaro that helped her achieve her goals. The reason why I am sharing this post is a number of friends have messaged me to get my opinion on going on Ozempic or Mounjaro for #weightloss. Here is the scientific truth at this time (I say scientific as scientific truth definitely evolves and changes over time): you have to consult your doctor but as a #stroke #neurologist, I feel there are relevant points for public awareness that may be helpful! 1. It is FDA approved for DM type 2 where glucose is not getting controlled with diet and exercise. 2. Off label use for weight loss. It costs $1000-$1200 USD if you go this route. It is important you discuss with your doctor the importance of slow uptitration over weeks rather than jumping on the regular dose from week 1. You will thank me later. But its important to start slow to minimize side effects. 3. You get weekly injections. You don't see benefit right away. My friend called me a month after initiating it and was worried it did not work on him. Give it 6-12 weeks to start seeing minimal (5% results). You would need to go for a year on it or whatever your doctor advises. 4. The side effects are vomiting (5% to 9%), diarrhea (8%), stomach-area pain (6% to 7%), and constipation (3% to 7%). But here is even worse: pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) though rare <1%, thyroid C-cell tumors (Black box warning by FDA, again very rare but can happen), gallbladder problems and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). 5. It slows down your stomach emptying hence bloating, feeling weird, nausea are not uncommon as you can see in point 4. 6. Now, other than benefit in DM2 management, there are benefits for heart and even lowers dementia risk. I am not sure if the benefit is because it controls your weight and #diabetes or the drug has some independent benefits. But as a neurologist, we know that patients with diabetes esp uncontrolled diabetes are at higher risk of having dementia in older age, and same with heart attack and stroke risks. So if your blood sugar and weight are kept in check by these medications, the benefit on your overall health make sense. 7. Keep an eye on your bone health, as there are some concerns around that for patients on these medications. That is why I recommend that your prescriber is an expert and is empowering you with knowledge before you make the decision. Lastly, this is an exciting time to be in healthcare. With bio-pharma, tech, devices and AI knocking on our door, there is no better time to be involved in healthcare innovation, though cautiously and with care, but it is an incredible time to be alive. In spite of the healthcare delivery challenges we see post-COVID. Happy #Friday!

Osteoporosis, often called brittle bone disease, has been linked with an increase in atherosclerosis (artery hardening and narrowing). We know that women have an increased risk of heart disease after menopause. One of the factors causing this may be the increase in osteoporosis after menopause as well. In a study of 12,681 women aged 50 to 80, low bone density in the spine, femoral neck, and hip increased heart attack risk by 16 to 38% over 9 years, even after considering other risk factors like high blood pressure, age, high cholesterol, smoking, and prior bone fractures. Why would this happen? 1️⃣ Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress, common in both age-related bone loss and plaque formation, may occur simultaneously, contributing to both conditions. 2️⃣ Dysregulated calcium and phosphorus metabolism can accelerate both bone loss and arterial plaque formation. 3️⃣ Osteogenic mediators released during bone loss, such as osteocalcin, osteoprotegerin, and sclerostin, directly influence blood vessel biology, promoting arterial plaque formation. To support both bone and heart health: a) Nutrient-Rich Diet: Consume foods rich in calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K, magnesium, lean proteins, and healthy fats to strengthen bones and promote heart health. ⚠️ Opt for dietary sources over excessive calcium supplementation to avoid potential plaque progression. b) Weight-Bearing Exercise: Engage in regular weight-bearing activities such as walking, jogging, and strength training to enhance bone density and cardiovascular function. c) Maintain Healthy Habits: Sustain a healthy weight, refrain from smoking, moderate alcohol intake, and prioritize stress management to mitigate the risk of osteoporosis and heart disease while fostering overall well-being. ⭐️ Subscribe to my email list for additional heart disease prevention tips!
