The 7 Blood Markers That Predict Heart Disease Better Than Cholesterol | Dr.Cabral x Mind Pump 2952

Dr. Stephen Cabral returns to break down the seven blood markers that predict heart disease better than cholesterol. He explains what each one means, what optimal ranges look like versus what standard lab ranges say, and how to improve each one through diet, exercise and targeted supplementation. He then reveals the guys' individual omega-6 to omega-3 inflammation test results live on air — comparing where they were two years ago to where they are now and why Doug is the clear winner. They also cover the cyclosporiasis parasite outbreak in lettuce, natural parasite treatment protocols, PDE5 inhibitors for cardiovascular health, why glucose monitors are overused in athletic populations, and whether rancid fish oil is a real problem and how to avoid it.
