In reversing calcium score or reversing
heart disease
how do you do that
I'm going out to Daniel Boone National
Forest
for a second day of hiking with some
friends and if you
have an interest in seeing some of that
I'll show some of that at the end of the
video but I just wanted to do a quick
video explanation one of the recent
videos we did was titled
how to lower your calcium score we had
that sort of a hater comment but the
complaint was
well you didn't tell us how to lower a
calcium score you just said a few things
about what causes it and then
what doesn't and then you quit
unfortunately that comment was deleted
or I'd show you
I thought about it afterwards and they
were right that was exactly what was in
there
Chris and Aspen had taken one of the
sections out of a Q&A
from quite a few months ago and it
really did talk mostly about what causes
it
and that's the thing the way to reverse
or lower your calcium score
is to go to the root cause fix the root
cause
and that's what helps now
we did talk about the root cause and
I'll run through those very quickly
because the way you deal with each of
these root causes
they have some differences but there's
one big root cause vast majority of us
have
and I will spend a couple of minutes
talking about that
so in that video we talked about this
individual said for example I took
vitamin D3 for a long time and it kept
raising my calcium score
so I quit taking vitamin d3
unfortunately I think that individual
was probably improving
his situation stabilizing his plaque
calcifying it making it better but
didn't realize it
that's a common mistake and again he
stopped taking the vitamin D3 so again
I don't think taking vitamin D3 is going
to
make your condition worse even if you
see some increase in calcium score
in fact I have to go through that that's
a problem with the calcium score I have
to go through that with a lot of people
I have people come on board and say I
want to reverse my calcium score
first of all that doesn't happen
very often calcium is laid down as a
process of scarring
when you have soft plaque and you
stabilize it
that's stabilizing it that scarring of
the soft plaque
deposits calcium now you can get some
decrease
we've got a couple videos where we
talked about that Gerry Kurth did
John Lorscheider did and again we both
covered videos on that
but it is a very practical goal and
attainable for
almost all of us to say I'm going to
stop
my progression of heart disease I'm
going to stabilize my heart disease I'm
going to reverse my risk
now how do you do that again let's go
back to what causes the risk
in that previous video on how to lower
your calcium score we talked about
arthritis the inflammatory arthritis
and don't worry about those words
psoriatic arthritis and more commonly
rheumatoid arthritis
both of those have significant risk for
heart disease if you can calm down the
inflammation associated with those types
of arthritis
and other types of inflammatory diseases
you slow down your
risk for heart disease but again i
mentioned
early on that there's something that
happens to the vast majority of us I'm
talking like
80 percent and as we get into our 70s
and 80s
closer to 90 and even more we lose our
ability to metabolize carbohydrates
now go read the book The Diabetes
Epidemic and You by Joseph Kraft if you
haven't read that if you haven't seen it
I've got several videos on it the book
itself is
a one-hour read and you begin to see
that as we
age more and more of us lose our ability
to metabolize carbs
so what happens well our glucose
remains up way too long and our insulin
remains
up way too long when that happens that
burns the inside of our artery and it
causes
cardiovascular disease so
the end of the day back to the person
that complained I didn't tell you how to
reverse calcium score let me put it in a
couple of simple ways
first of all don't worry so much about
reversing your calcium score
worry about stabilizing and reversing
your risk
for heart disease sometimes that
increases your calcium
score because it creates scarred stable
plaque
with calcium in it out of soft plaque
the second thing is in reversing calcium
score or reversing heart disease
how do you do that you reverse the root
cause
for some people that's familial
hypercholesterolemia
inflammatory arthritis psoriatic
arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis
reverse those inflammatory processes and
you reverse the heart disease
for the vast majority of us especially
as we age into our 50s 60s
70s and 80s it's insulin resistance
inability to metabolize carbohydrates
the insulin receptors in our muscles and
liver
cell membranes lose their
responsiveness to insulin and when we do
blood sugar goes up insulin goes up it
starts burning our artery walls
once you start managing that insulin
resistance you will reverse your heart
attack and stroke risk
it happens every time it's reliable you
don't have to worry about it
if you're doing the right stuff it's not
that
oh you get in your 60s and 70s and
you're going to have a heart attack and
there's nothing you can do about it
flat wrong now if you still have any
interest
in Daniel Boone National Park here's
what it looks like
here's some pictures where we were
just earlier this week so
yeah that's proven that I was there it's
beautiful
beautiful place it's the stone arches of
Kentucky and obviously there's some
beautiful
formations and come on out we'd love to
have you out here
there's some other really beautiful
stuff in Kentucky I live
two miles from one of the most beautiful
race tracks
in the world and some of the most
beautiful horse country in the world
thank you for your interest
why wait for a disease
and hope for a cure I used to be an ER
doc my name is Ford Brewer
I quit ER after a few years because it
was just
so frustrating most of the things
bringing people into the ER
are things that should have been
prevented including
heart attack stroke number one cause of
death number one cause of permanent
disability
people think that you're just gonna have
those and that they're not predictable
both of those are wrong they are
predictable
and you don't have to have them usually
it's lifestyle lifestyle is more
important than
supplements and even prescription drugs
and even
stents and surgery but the current times
are tough
major financial impact with the
lockdowns that most states have been
going through
we've been working on a way to make this
much more affordable with a subscription
process
and that's exactly what we're announcing
today we've got two levels
one is the Silver membership where you
get access to our courses
a private webinar each month and access
to our supplement store
and supplement recommendations and
prescription or
I would suggest even more so the Gold
membership
you can get a script for a Freestyle
Libre and find out what your blood
sugar metabolism is doing on a daily
basis
and you can get a lab order for
inflammation OGTT and insulin survey
you can also get a 30-minute one-on-one
with me
so I'm looking forward to seeing you
cost is no longer an excuse so if you're
interested go to
