ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
John's most recent coronary artery calcium score (CACS) was 59% lower than his previous one. I've not seen it before. We both have looked for it in the science. We're not finding anything on it. The radiology group that did it was aware & said "this doesn't happen". Yet they had no explanation to offer.

As a doc experienced in this, I'm sure that John has reversed his cardiovascular risk. He lost 42 pounds. He lowered his HgA1c from 5.8 down to 4.7. We did discover a previously unknown insulin resistance (actually type 2 diabetes). They say people don't reverse that, either. Again, I think John's clearly gotten his control numbers back to normal. It's been quite an experience for John. In his original efforts, he did have a few episodes of hypoglycemia as well.

In the discussion, we cover a couple of other key points, like:
1. The role of statins. These have been helpful. (And no, we're not supported by pharma). We discussed how many people will reactive negatively to this comment. And the fact that statins actually started life as a supplement (Red Yeast Rice);
2. "Stealth carbs" - John has mentioned multiple times in his new lifestyle how challenging it can be to keep the carbs out. Maltodextrin, for example, is rarely labeled as a carb. Yet, he learned the hard way how Maltodextrin and some other "stealth carbs" increased his blood sugar.
3. What to make of a CIMT which originally appeared to indicate increased plaque burden. We contacted the owner of the company, CardioRisk, and Amazon best-selling author Todd Eldredge, Ph.D., re: interpretation of the CIMT. Todd's interpretation was that there was no increase in plaque, but an increase in the sensitivity of the CIMT equipment;
4. the interesting correlation of his increased calcium score with initiation of insulin resistance/diabetes.

At the end of the day, we need to realize that ANY test must be interpreted in light of the entire picture. And there's no question that John is one of those rare patients that took a huge chunk out of his cardiac risk. How'd he do it? He lost 42 pounds and got his blood sugar under control.

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