ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
I've focused on lifestyle, especially diet, most of my career. I started as an ER doc but realized quickly that lifestyle, especially diet, is a major cause of most disease, disability & death. But in my late 50s, I ran into a problem: I found plaque in my arteries on a CIMT (Carotid Intima Media Thickness) test equivalent to a 73-yo-man.

My BMI has remained less than 25 my entire life (mostly less than 23), so obesity was not the problem. Like many patients, I'd put off medications, including statins. After finding the plaque in my arteries, I decided to try the right statin & niacin.

I continued to age with prediabetes or insulin resistance. (It could have been due to the statin, but that's not likely; my statin then was only 5mg Crestor.) Upon discovering my blood sugar problem, I made a few more tweaks in my lifestyle. I went from a plant-based/pescatarian to low carb. I keep my carbs below 100gm/day.

Everything worked! I reversed 20 years' worth of plaque in my arteries. So I did this video to "give the medication devil his due."

Dr. Brewer provides services via telemedicine or in person if you're in the Lexington, KY area. We find a lot of undiagnosed Pre-Diabetes or Insulin Resistance. Treating unrecognized risk factors like Pre-Diabetes allows reduction of risk and prevention of disease.
