Preventing Silent Heart Disease: From Test Result to Informed Decisions

This important discussion originally came up in a recent educational session and knew it should be shared with everyone. In this video, I’ll walk through the steps you should take if you've found out your calcium score is high, even if you're otherwise feeling great. I'll explain why having calcium in your arteries can be a silent but serious issue and which specific tests I recommend to accurately assess your heart health, like the coronary CT angiogram with FFR and advanced metabolic testing. We'll dive into common underlying issues like insulin resistance, prediabetes, and even leaky gut, and I'll explain why addressing these is crucial for long-term prevention.
