Dr. Gupta is a treasure. He has such an ability to speak at a level for none medical people to understand. Please never stop your videos because you are helping your fellow man. I for one so appreciate you.
Sanjay, you are spot on. Ever since I started being more mindful, happy, present, eliminated alcohol completely from my life, eating whole foods, taking fish oils, magnesium, sleeping better, all of my health issues resolved. I now know why. I reduced the inflammation.
There are three things that I've learned you should never allow to get out of control: 1)inflammation 2)insulin resistance and 3) oxidative stress. I'm sure there is more but if you can keep those three in check, along with maintaining a good immune system, you'll save yourself from a lot of medical headaches in your life.

Not only explained in simple terms, but it's a pleasure to hear a voice that is clear, well paced and proper English! Too many people talk poorly these days and don't take a pride in their speech. PS I love all the analogies too!
It is refreshing to. See a young doctor with sincerity and honesty really caring for humanity, unlike doctors that look @ $ signs and do u necessay procedures. Be responsible with your health eat right foods, small portions, avoid a sedentary life you will be surprised by your choices
Its wholistic. But if you have stress and eat the right diet, heart disease will plummet. Sadly people have no idea how high their blood lipids are, it builds over decades until the damage is irreversible.
Diagnosed with muscle damage due to a statin prescribed for slightly elevated cholestrol. The side effects from the statin were far far worse than the risk that the original problem posed for me. Thanks for your videos Dr gupta - I wish there were more doctors like you.
@@halimahabduljabbar5162 Odds are, there are lifestyle changes you can make to improve your cholesterol numbers. That’s true because, more often than not, unhealthy behaviors are the main culprits behind high cholesterol. Your body naturally produces all the LDL (bad) cholesterol it needs. An unhealthy lifestyle - not enough exercise, too many unhealthy foods - makes your body produce more LDL cholesterol than it needs. This is the cause of high LDL cholesterol for most people. Behaviors that can negatively affect your cholesterol levels include: Unhealthy diet Lack of physical activity Smoking or exposure to tobacco smoke Excess weight Stopping or reversing these unhealthy lifestyle factors can help improve your cholesterol numbers. but don't panic, I already have a solution, For more information, click here tinyurl.com/y2qq3t6c >
I am not a cardiologist but I am an anesthetist and physiologist. And I agree with everything you say. I was trying to think of a way to explain this and I have to say your nonstick pan is a perfect explanation. I’m going to start Using this analogy. But don’t worry I will give you the credit ha ha
I quit coffee 7 months ago and feel so much better. I sleep better and wake up early and have lots of energy 😊. I'm not so stressed now because i don't have caffeine in my body😊. Thank you doctor Gupta for your videos. I always share them on my Facebook account 😊
Thank you for this excellent explanation. It is refreshing to hear a medical person who is unafraid to go against “conventional wisdom” and speak the truth!
My HDL and LDL is a little bit higher then normal when I had my hear attack. What I had for 30 years is Insomnia, Depression, Eating dissorder and cronicel pain ( inflammation) I allways had the feeling it was the stress from all this making my heart attack. Thank you for this information
Thank you so much best explanation I have ever heard about this topic. I have studied and been in health industry over 20 years plus school and this was excellant. Texted this video to many people.
Dr Gupta, you are Awesome 👏🏽. Thank you, Thank you for giving us the knowledge,sharing is caring! We need Doctors like you, very easy to understand. God bless 🙏🏽
Doctor Sahib, you describe the complex processes in simplified way with concrete examples, this proves that you're a practitioner as well as an effective teacher.
I’m a pharmacist and I give lectures to cardiac rehab patients about their medications. This is is very good analogy. I hope that I can continue to hear these kinds of informations. Thank you.
Dear Dr Gupta, Interesting talk never cease to rise the awareness to negate the effects of cholesterol. Being a retired medic, routine cardiac investigation showed the changes only to have stent in the widow maker artery. Although kept up with good health prior to only forcing me to study, learn nutrition experimenting on myself a triad of losing weight, nutritious diet and exercise. My blood pressure came down dramatically, all the blood results are bang normal. Blockages in the artery made me more resolute to address the issue without a fear which most patients do. I did relocate to India soon after retirement. I am on plant based diet. My balanced food of dietary fibre, antioxidants and anti inflammatory nutrients come from the home cooked meal. In a month I get through chia seeds, basil seeds, millets, legumes, beans, fruits, vegetables, spinach both green and red, balsamic vinegar. I call this biotuning over a period of nine months. I don’t have question. I only have solution to avoid processed and ultra processed food. Kitchen gender free, if we don’t spend quality time in the kitchen with fresh produce only to end up spending part of life in the hospital. Bas.
❤ Thank you, Dr Sanjay Gupta ❤ you are much appreciated ❤ plz continue to make more great videos for us, create more awareness about our hearts issues, it helps us understand better and ease our suffering ❤
Your Brilliant explaining things, just been diagnosed with cardiovascular disease at the age of 48 yrs plus my dad suffers to from CAD too. some narrowing and plaque in two of my arteries.. Had an angiogram told I had heart disease sent home, then put on tablets statins, beta blockers and aspirin. Yet I’ve never had a blood test for Cholesteryl So worried because I’m coming to a point I struggle to do simple chores, like going up and down stairs, bedsheets etc.. I’ve learnt so much from your videos and I thank you for that. Your a credit to us all!
Love the focus on lifestyle and not just pills and symptomatic treatment. The uncertainty caused by modern lifestyles psychologically needs to be focused upon. Economic, social uncertainty have deleterious effects on masses of people.
Nice listening to you sanjay , just started a mild dose of ruvasta240tin and finofibrate 5 MG. My total cholesterol is about 300 and ldl is a 240 , my age is 45
This guy is the honest doctor I have ever met. I had a succesfull stent, despite living a healty life, but I dont take statins anymore ever. I have normal levels of LDL, and have tried what depression of the important enzymes Cholesterol and CoQ10, does to your body and your quality of life.
Even it you where not a doctor just your explanation of medical knowledge is incredibly and make people listen and believe in your knowledge thank you!
Just found you after a bad test and battling cholesterol with lifestyle changes with some success but still not enough. Thank you so much for your well-being balanced and informative view. Lots of clinicians in the UK could learn much from you including my own!
The whole point of the video is that there are several factors involved in the underlying cause of heart disease - inflammation - and that cholesterol is not one of them.
Dr Sanjay Gupta .. your videos on TH-cam are so brilliant, informative & easy to understand ... you are performing a great service to heart patients... can’t thank you enough 😀👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️

Hello Doctor Sanjay, your explanation is really nice and I really appreciate it since your example is sooooooooooooo great. Thanks for doing great service!
Thank you for such valuable and balanced information Dr Sanjay Gupta! I am subscribed and share your videos with friends. I hope your Dad is ok. Your helpful videos are much appreciated, but please don't exhaust yourself and lose sleep... You are needed. 💙😃
Thank you , my cholesterol levels are 324 total . I’m 55 yrs young my blood work came out LDL 224 HDL 75 and triglycerides 200 . Blood pressure 112/74 sugar 99 . My doctor wanted to put me in statin But , I’ve decided to follow Mediterranean diet and see if I see results in my numbers . Love all of your videos thank you so much for educating the public . You’re very generous!!
Do you know what your CRP (C Reactive Protein) level is? It measures how much inflammation you have. Most doctors don't include that in annual physical blood test. But it's really important.
I think God for you! What I love about your videos is that although you provide great information, you also understand the importance of not highlighting the worst case scenario’s. You understand that people with heart concerns are already stressed and you don’t add to the fear. Thank you so much! I pray that God continues to bless your business, your family and your life.
i can't get enough of your outstanding information videos, you would be saving so many lives , remember this , don't let the ones that got away get you down, but rather be happy knowing not all got away, in example, you might lose some but save so many, its the fact that you tried that makes you great and you should be proud, we are all proud of you and your works, kind regards 😊
Thank you so much for such a clearly understandable explanation. There is so much confusion out there, your explanations give me, well they give me hope and clear actionable guidance. Please keep sharing your gift.
Cod Liver Oil cleared my heart arteries of build up. I insisted on heart scans because I kept being told I wasn't having a heart attack despite having a lot of trouble getting my breath at times. The first scan showed build up in both arteries. But before I got my next scan which was a couple months later I had started taking Cod Liver Oil. The build up was all gone then. I don't worry about my cholesterol anymore. Great video.
After watching a number of your videos I have a greater understanding of the heart and heart disease. Thank you Sanjay for taking the time in your busy schedule to create these educational videos. I join with the many others to express my gratitude and appreciation. It's apparent that you have genuine concern for the health of your patients and viewers. I haven't been on a healthy path but I am now going do my best to heed your advise. Your videos have been a wake up call for me. Thanks again :)))
You are one of the few doctors who recommends the natural approach first before recommending statins. I am one of those who had refused statin for 30 years but I am forced to take 10 mg because of my 1018 calcium score. I am 74 years old. Does a calcium score this high means clogged arteries and at risk of heart attack and stroke? Appreciate your advice. This is the only prescription med I am taking. God bless you and your family. Thank you for helping us all.
This video is very informative. O just had angioplasty etc. Stent in the main artery. My father had the same thing...had several stents put in about 13 yrs ago. We have a family history of producing bad cholesterol. I really appreciate the info.
I wish Dr. Gupta was my Cardiologist. I wish he was my GP. I may never have needed a Cardiologist. I doubt he's ever had the freedom to fully treat his patients the way he would like, the time, honesty and fast-track solutions! It's all in his head, makes him an exceptional doctor but not utilized. Let him loose! Break free, Sanjay! For us! For yourself!
Your very valuable advise has to be put into practice when one is 20 years to prevent erosion or take treatment from the best doctor like you. You have given very good controllable factors.
Awesome video! Thanks! Two questions. 1. If the non stick surface in your arteries gets eroded away, can it ever come back? Can the arteries heal? 2. Is there a way to test for / monitor inflamation in your arteries? Thank for for sharing your knowledge with us. I've learned a great deal watching your videos.
Daniel Mandracken Try looking up on dr ignarro who won a Nobel prize on the effect of nitric oxide and how it help on this matter. Vitamin k2 is another one, yt to be conclusively proven.
@@eugeniebreida1583 I personally find fasting to be the best solution.it not only clears inflammation but help cure my diabetes,lcholestrol and high blood pressure. Fasting over 3 days starts a process of dropping damaged cells n d body produces new cells. Basically rejuvenation. This is the work of dr Suzuki who won a Nobel prize for this discovery.
@@tehchooikuam2878 For those who land in the 'over-fed' pool of mammalians I would imagine this well holds true. However, in those of us who are low-weight, and already needing careful protein and fat inputs in order to stave off diseases of older age/autoimmune conditions NOT resulting from high sugar/high fats (in diet or in blood/tissues), I don't see it as a solution. Losing essential body weight is not a great idea (imo). Tho appreciate Suzuki very much. If you have detailed counter argument which applies, I am happy to hear it.
This is how plaques form in arteries. Glucose cause infammation and cholesterol is brought to the inflammed part of the artery to repair the damage caused by inflammation. Cholesterol levels is not an issue. Your liver will produce cholesterol if the blood level is low. Recent statistics show that 70 percent of heart attack patients have normal LDL levels. The problem basically is inflammation of endothelium of arteries. Sugar, trans fats, omega-6 cooking oils increase inflammation. Olive oil, and omega-3 fish oils, and magnesium (which is found in cocao) reduce inflammation. Saturated fats increases both HDL and LDL and their effects are at worst neutral.
Precisely, my questions, Daniel. It would be interesting to know the answers. My guess is that if you can't "heal" the arteries than the best thing is to protect them by diet, exercise, rest and reduce stress and smile! Another great video Dr. Gupta!
Thank you thank you! You confirmed all of my thoughts and feelings about taking prescriptions so quickly, without trying to figure out the underlying problems and solving the underlying reasons for a particular situation first. I am not a doctor, but I have always thought about all the things that you have discussed in your videos. It all just makes since.
Thank you. I knew some of this information but refuse to implemented in my life, you can be your own best friend or worst, I think I need to start being my best friend now!
Thank you for this! I’m in the middle of moving and stress is sky high, so after watching this I’ll be much more conscious and try to keep it under control. Gracias, de Chile
We are so lucky to have you on he net. Thank you so much for explaining this so fully. . When it comes to nutrition could please tell us what is best for those who have angina.Greetings to you from Sri Lanka..
Thank you so much for your comment and for watching the video. Please join me for live free chats on my Facebook page (type yorkcardiology@gmail.com in Facebook search) - I will be able to answer your questions there
Thanks Dr Gupta. I knew cholesterol wasn’t the only reason for heart disease so was hesitant to take statins when prescribed by my cardiologist. Have about 40% artery calcification. After your clearer explanation will start statins
when you made this video I did not have heart attack. but had in 2019. i used to smoke till 2017 for nearly 30 years..now given up totally since 5.5 years..but carry a stent in heart..diagonosed with few PVCs during last echo cardio gram..but my cardiologist put me to treadmill test..i did the six minute test well...though felt exhausted at the end of it recovered within two minutes...so my cardiologist has asked me to stop the very meagre quantity of 30 ml of alcohol which i used to consume daily...as such i have been walking and doing yoga well before my heart attack..so all good as of now...staying positive..though have marital issues in life....thanks for the video...I have last 85 ml of brandy left with me..i am taking once a week now till it gets over may be in next two weeks then I will say goodbye to that also..
The presentation is excellent. It has been proved that chlolestorol plays an important role in our body, especially aged people need more cholesterol as they grow older. Now it has been proved that statin is very harmful .and has so many side-effects. Your comments please.
I have been learning this recently. LDL cholesterol is necessary. Helps with dementia, whereas statins do the opposite, plus other side effects. I stopped my statins.
An honest doctor who loves humanity and not dollars .He explains everything very clearly and educates people
Oh I'm sure he likes $$ too! He paid dearly to go to school He's just smart and has a great heart and spirit, and the personality to put up with people?
Excellent video! Finally a cardiologist who addresses the real causes behind heart disease.
thanks Mac!

After watching a number of your videos I have a greater understanding of the heart and heart disease. Thank you Sanjay for taking the time in your busy schedule to create these educational videos. I join with the many others to express my gratitude and appreciation. It's apparent that you have genuine concern for the health of your patients and viewers. I haven't been on a healthy path but I am now going do my best to heed your advise. Your videos have been a wake up call for me. Thanks again :)))
You are one of the few doctors who recommends the natural approach first before recommending statins. I am one of those who had refused statin for 30 years but I am forced to take 10 mg because of my 1018 calcium score. I am 74 years old. Does a calcium score this high means clogged arteries and at risk of heart attack and stroke? Appreciate your advice. This is the only prescription med I am taking. God bless you and your family. Thank you for helping us all.
How are you doing now? Did you retake your calcium test?
I've been watching him for a long time, he's a very nice honest doctor.
Thanks, Dr. Gupta. You are brave enough to speak the truth.
This video is very informative. O just had angioplasty etc. Stent in the main artery. My father had the same thing...had several stents put in about 13 yrs ago. We have a family history of producing bad cholesterol. I really appreciate the info.
This chimes nicely with The Great Cholesterol Con, a book I'd recommend.
I wish Dr. Gupta was my Cardiologist. I wish he was my GP. I may never have needed a Cardiologist. I doubt he's ever had the freedom to fully treat his patients the way he would like, the time, honesty and fast-track solutions! It's all in his head, makes him an exceptional doctor but not utilized. Let him loose! Break free, Sanjay! For us! For yourself!
Thank you doctor for all your education on heart issues
I really enjoyed this video.
Thanks for educating me on the topic of “some of the causes of high cholesterol “
Can’t wait for the next video
Glad it was helpful Cynthia - It'd mean a tonne to me if you'd consider subscribing to the channel. Wishing you a happy new year
Well explained super doc and wish their was more like him
Excellent video, well done Doctor.
Your very valuable advise has to be put into practice when one is 20 years to prevent erosion or take treatment from the best doctor like you. You have given very good controllable factors.
Awesome video! Thanks!
Two questions.
1. If the non stick surface in your arteries gets eroded away, can it ever come back? Can the arteries heal?
2. Is there a way to test for / monitor inflamation in your arteries?
Thank for for sharing your knowledge with us. I've learned a great deal watching your videos.

Try looking up on dr ignarro who won a Nobel prize on the effect of nitric oxide and how it help on this matter. Vitamin k2 is another one, yt to be conclusively proven.
Daniel Mandracken many doctors that teach whole food plant based say yes.
@@tehchooikuam2878 Where have I been? ? Thanks so much Teh, for the link to Dr. Ignarro and nitric oxide!

I personally find fasting to be the best solution.it not only clears inflammation but help cure my diabetes,lcholestrol and high blood pressure.
Fasting over 3 days starts a process of dropping damaged cells n d body produces new cells. Basically rejuvenation. This is the work of dr Suzuki who won a Nobel prize for this discovery.
@@tehchooikuam2878 For those who land in the 'over-fed' pool of mammalians I would imagine this well holds true. However, in those of us who are low-weight, and already needing careful protein and fat inputs in order to stave off diseases of older age/autoimmune conditions NOT resulting from high sugar/high fats (in diet or in blood/tissues), I don't see it as a solution. Losing essential body weight is not a great idea (imo).
Tho appreciate Suzuki very much.
If you have detailed counter argument which applies, I am happy to hear it.
This is how plaques form in arteries. Glucose cause infammation and cholesterol is brought to the inflammed part of the artery to repair the damage caused by inflammation. Cholesterol levels is not an issue. Your liver will produce cholesterol if the blood level is low. Recent statistics show that 70 percent of heart attack patients have normal LDL levels.
The problem basically is inflammation of endothelium of arteries. Sugar, trans fats, omega-6 cooking oils increase inflammation. Olive oil, and omega-3 fish oils, and magnesium (which is found in cocao) reduce inflammation.
Saturated fats increases both HDL and LDL and their effects are at worst neutral.
Very true
Fantastic coment from you xx
@@@hanrolav excellent answer mate.
Convincing comments from you sir
Excellent comment, why is it that, with the rare exception of Dr Gupta here, we have to explain this to our doctors!
Ralph Taylor I tried explaining this to my Dr today. He just does t get it. Looked at me like I had two heads.
This is one very nice Dr 👍👍👍👍
Precisely, my questions, Daniel. It would be interesting to know the answers. My guess is that if you can't "heal" the arteries than the best thing is to protect them by diet, exercise, rest and reduce stress and smile! Another great video Dr. Gupta!
Thank you thank you! You confirmed all of my thoughts and feelings about taking prescriptions so quickly, without trying to figure out the underlying problems and solving the underlying reasons for a particular situation first. I am not a doctor, but I have always thought about all the things that you have discussed in your videos. It all just makes since.
Finally a doctor who can explain cholesterol so it makes sense! Thank you doctor. I wish you could be cloned.
Excellent thank you
Priceless information 🙏🏻
Excellent explanation, thanks. I learned a lot. Pls discuss NT-pro-BNP too.
Very inspiring, to the core point. Thank you so so so much Dr. Sanjay.
Excellent explanation. I experienced this recently.
Great information as usual. Thank you for your time and effort in providing these videos
Thank you. I knew some of this information but refuse to implemented in my life, you can be your own best friend or worst, I think I need to start being my best friend now!
Thank you Dr
Thank you for this! I’m in the middle of moving and stress is sky high, so after watching this I’ll be much more conscious and try to keep it under control. Gracias, de Chile
We are so lucky to have you on he net. Thank you so much for explaining this so fully. . When it comes to nutrition could please tell us what is best for those who have angina.Greetings to you from Sri Lanka..
Thank you so much for your comment and for watching the video. Please join me for live free chats on my Facebook page (type yorkcardiology@gmail.com in Facebook search) - I will be able to answer your questions there
Thanks Dr Gupta. I knew cholesterol wasn’t the only reason for heart disease so was hesitant to take statins
when prescribed by my cardiologist. Have about 40% artery calcification. After your clearer explanation will start statins
Best health information on u tube. Ty for doing these videos.
thank u!
Wow!!!! This is the best TH-cam channel by far. Thank you so much.
when you made this video I did not have heart attack. but had in 2019. i used to smoke till 2017 for nearly 30 years..now given up totally since 5.5 years..but carry a stent in heart..diagonosed with few PVCs during last echo cardio gram..but my cardiologist put me to treadmill test..i did the six minute test well...though felt exhausted at the end of it recovered within two minutes...so my cardiologist has asked me to stop the very meagre quantity of 30 ml of alcohol which i used to consume daily...as such i have been walking and doing yoga well before my heart attack..so all good as of now...staying positive..though have marital issues in life....thanks for the video...I have last 85 ml of brandy left with me..i am taking once a week now till it gets over may be in next two weeks then I will say goodbye to that also..
The presentation is excellent. It has been proved that chlolestorol plays an important role in our body, especially aged people need more cholesterol as they grow older. Now it has been proved that statin is very harmful .and has so many side-effects. Your comments please.
I have been learning this recently. LDL cholesterol is necessary. Helps with dementia, whereas statins do the opposite, plus other side effects. I stopped my statins.
Excellent doctor!!!!! Easy explanation!!!
So clearly explained. Thanks
Very interesting!
Sanjay you're a top bloke thank you so much for this information.
Such valuable information. Thank you doctor.
