I had an MI in Dec of 2019, my cardiologist didn't do a calcium score or a metabolic workup and didn't even care that I was prediabetic. I studied on my own and decided to start Keto, lost 27 lbs, got my A1c down to 4.7, started supplements to reduce coronary calcium (D3, K2, and others) and exercise daily (walking for 40 mins). I recently asked for a Insulin Resistance test and it showed that I was at 12 (33 is prediabetic). I now requested a CAC test (my cardiologist wasn't even sure what it was) and will go in tomorrow for it. I wish Dr Jamnadas was here in Phoenix. Thank you for all you do and share with us.
Hope this message finds you well…. Congratulations on taking your health and wellness in to your own hands…. I’d like to ask for you to follow up with your dietary changes and your cardiac score and how your health has changed so to your personal health shifts TIA
To distal in the lad, yet my cardiologist never told me. He said I was fine except my injection fraction was lower then he expected. It was 55 to 60% (which is considered normal.) The only reason I knew about the blockages is b/c I went to the hospital and requested my test results. I advise everyone to get a copy of your labs and test. These Drs want you to be on drugs so they can get their commission.
@@captainadams7569 Since I first wrote this over a year ago, I have increased my walk to an hour and half (5.5 miles). My weight holds steady at 175 lbs, which I consider the perfect weight for my height (6ft). I previously suffered from Ulcerative Colitis for years and the symptoms for this have completely disappeared for the past 2 years (since starting keto). I do regular intermittent fasting, and HIIT training when I walk/jog. I am no longer taking the plant sterols or the K2+D3 as my diet gives my body what it needs. My BP is perfect and my ketones are solidly in the optimal range. Keto is the way to crack the code on good health.
I am a Nurse Practitioner. Love the lessons by Dr. Jamnadas. However, Insurance will not approve these tests unless ordered by a cardiologist. Pretty crazy if you ask me. They are so important. So much of what we do is dictated by insurance.
My primary care has the booklets for the scan in her office. I did do the scan which is not covered by insurance so I paid $99. I found out my score is 225. I went to a cardiologist who order a stress test and echocardiagram that insurance paid for since the scan showed build up.
Of course not.the system is designed to keep you a client.and keep bringing money. ..we need to take responsibility ourselves and listen to docs like this who are not following big pharma guidelines
It is crazy how insurance companies will cover the disease but not the prevention. My husband's PSA test levels continued to show increases. His dad and brother both had prostrate cancer so although he was under seventy we had concerns. Our insurance company would cover PSA tests more than every two years, so we paid for them. I did call the insurance company and suggested they look at the things they waste money on. I told them cancer is much more expensive than preventative testing. Sure enough, he got prostrate cancer, so it was good that we paid for the tests ourselves and caught it while it was still contained in the prostrate..

All we need to do is listen to this God sent doctor; listen to his dos and don’ts, and know that ACTION is key He has surely given us the information to try to restore our health. We just have to hope that we haven’t waited to long. Some, like myself probably should watch his videos daily to make sure it sinks in and is a constant reminder; in ways its kind of like “ repetition being the mother of skills” but the right way to phrase it escapes my mind right now
I just saw your fasting for survival lecture! I wanted to reach out because I did fast for 4 days (Sunday-Thursday) every other week prior to my chemo (6 rounds of Adriamycin & 6 of Taxol) for breast cancer. Ate a small meal after transfusions and was in bed for about 2 days after. I was able to be fine for work on Monday following… That was in 2017 and I’m living proof that it works!
@@umeshmysoreshivaraju26 sorry for late reply… What else would you like to know? I was eating a low carb but plant centered diet (lots of leafy greens & cruciferous veggies & limiting white sugar) and drinking a gallon of spring water/day. I also did detox bath on Sunday evening after chemo… I’ve been cancer free since 1/2018. Hope that helps…
All my mother had was sharp pain in her left arm pit that kept getting progressively worse which was ignored and passed off at a local ER, it wasn’t until my father, threatened everyone with a lawsuit that three hours later they took her seriously, it turned out she had 5 blockages that were 90 & 95% blocked. They immediately prepped her for surgery. After surgery due to her having gone 3 hours without treatment they gave her 5 years at the most & she passed 5 years to the day November 12th, 1986. She was also type 1 diabetic since she was 16. There’s not a day goes by that she is not missed. She was 50 years old when she passed. 😢
Excellent video. I'm 61 yrs. Old. A runner. I've run almost 10k miles. I've never had health issues in my life. After some DNA finding I decided to get a calcium scan. My score lead me to a cardiac ct which found I have heart decease with 35% blockage in the LAD. I would have never known. My calcium scan cost 100 dollars and 10 min of my time. Everyone should have the scan done.
@jf1341 that's a tough question. After much talk there's too much risk for a stent. For now, diet change and 1 small med change. Although I've always been healthy. I've run almost 10k miles. This has been quite a shock. I'm due for a yr checkup since I found all of this.
@NotTelling51 lots of runners have calcium build up!! The reason for this is not enough" rest" for repair in the heart to make it simple .....so the stretching from the stress builds up inflammation and gets calcified or it could have been from a infection such as strep throat or staphylococcus from bad teeth or root canal
I learned more in this video than I have learned from my cardiologist and surgeon(CABG) in the months leading up to my surgery and the year since my surgery. They told me after the surgery (95% blockage on the widow maker) that I still had a 75% blockage on my right artery. The surgeon told me not to delay having a stent put in, but my cardiologist said he won't put one in until there is 80% blockage and he would check me again 12 months after my CABG! I have had mild chest pain on and off since the surgery and have been to ER a couple of times. If they did the calcium and metabolic tests I am not aware of it. I think I am going to look for another cardio doc.
Thanks for the information, my Dad recently had an angina event, we were scheduled for 90 day blood work the next week. The dr set up a CAC test for my dad and myself…… Dad score was off the chart at 8749 and mine at 0…. This should be a stark wake up call to anyone who doesn’t manage diabetes as my dad did not….. Once I inherited that wonderful gene from him I have been aggressively attacking the condition. This was my 2nd CaC test with zero on both now 4 years apart. I share this with everyone I know……
Great info and Dr. J is so right. My older surfer brother, not a ounce of fat on him, was getting chest pains while surfing what would be his very last time. A week later, he went to get stress test and had double carotid artery stroke during the test that almost killed him. They did not give him ANY clot busting meds in fear of the clots going to brain and killing him. 3 months later had scan of the carotid arteries at a vascular surgeon office, and by some divine intervention, they saw NO blockage in the carotids. 6 months later when he was better recovered from the double stroke, he went in again for the heart scan and the next day he had quadruple bypass, having 2 arteries 90% blocked, the others 75% blocked. I am still amazed at how he had all this happen and how he recovered. Sad thing is that he avoided doctors and did not take any BP meds as he knew we had very high BP genetically. Me and my other bro had been taking small BP meds last 10 years. Anyway, somethings defy logic but watching Dr Jamnadas is amazing and his instant recall of what he knows is also very wonderful, truly a very, very smart man, I am lucky that he is near me and I probably will go see him soon to get a thorough check out. He is the only doc I have seen to list his prices on his website for procedures and also lab work. I have lab blood work to get done and was not able to get actual cost to me from the lab, even with my insurance!!! What a scam they run! I think it said on his website that they got so tired of dealing with all the different insurance payment amounts, they mainly do only cash pay labs and for a full CBC, the cost listed was 33 bucks!!!!! Thank You, thank You Dr. Jamnadas!!!!!!!!!! Happy New Year!!!
Do you know what type of foods or diet your surfer brother was typically eating prior to his stroke? It’s hard to believe he didn’t have any fat on him, but yet had all these hidden underlying health issues.
@@user-zq3qd8ui5o Well, he was a not fat very muscular but ws not seeing ANY doc and we have hi BP in the family, he also did not eat as good as he thought, his metabolism was that of a squirrel, he could never put on weight no matter what he ate. But the hi BP and carbs he ate got to him.
You are doing a great job. I have always believed that when the root cause of high blood pressure is identified, it is gone. You have proved it over and over again through your videos.
I wish that my mom and dad had this doctor. I wish that my husband had this doctor. My father might still be alive. And my husband probably would never have had a heart attack.
Thank you! I’m 50 (with family history of heart disease) and had a stress test and 24 hour bp monitor last year but I still getting pains in my chest but was given the ok by the Dr that everything was fine. 12 months later I’m still feeling not right, so asked is there was a test that shows the condition of my arteries. I’m thankful to say it’s a CT calcium test which I’ll have shortly before our next appointment in 2 months. In the mean time I’ve started taking K2 with my D3… I yet to start taking magnesium. But I’m cutting out sugar and added in lots of veggies and salads. With new understanding I’m trying to improve my health. Thank you for your content… I’ve just found you and am already working my way through it.
I was in a rehab center after having a triple by-pass last year. Met a guy there that had a massive heart attack 2 days after his stress test. They said he was just fine. Doesn't make any sense!
I had no pain they put in stent and my visit to the cardiologist he squeezed my ankle said take these drugs and get out of here sent me a bill after insurance for $174 not one word about how fat I was metabolic syndrome the fact that his drugs would cause diabetes or not one word about nitric oxide and how to get it into your body come on someone won a Nobel prize for this
I have a blood clot I recently found out by CT scan. I'm just shocked how TH-cam recommended this video to me. I never even typed a word in a TH-cam search engine. I just came back from the hospital. Having said that. Now I know what to look forward to. Thank you for the info
I did a Coronary Calcium CT scan and my number was 225. I went to a cardiologist for advice and she told me to do a low fat diet and was questioning me about being there if I have no pain. I told her I was trying to do prevention since heart disease is in my blood line. She ordered a stress test. I finally had to call her for my results and was told everything looked OK and to come see her in a year. I plan to find another cardiologist. I also do wonder 🤔 when or if I will have a heart attack.
If I where you I would get a copy of the stress test. I went through the same thing with my cardiologist. He said I was fine over the phone. Asked for a copy of the report. The report stated that I had moderate mitral valve regurgitation, mild bicuspid regurgitation, trace aorta regurgitation, left ventricular hyper trophy, and dilated right ventricula. I researched it so a made some adjustments to my diet, and life style. It’s not a major concern, but he should’ve told me. Some of these Drs want your condition to become bad enough so they can perform a procedure or put you on meds.
@@captainadams7569 I did get a copy of the report and also have valve regurgitation issue. When I called them out on it, I was told it can be controlled with less sodium. This ticked me off because if I had not reviewed the report less sodium would have been the last thing on my mind. smh
Finally found a doctor who cares for people. It is very rare in America. Most doctors care for putting you on circular appointments and keep treating symptoms as oppose to treating root cause of the symptoms. I am T2D and my doctor kept giving me metphormin until I started taking control over my diet. Most of the condition our body is created by ourselves and if you undo them, it will be normal. High cholesterol, High blood pressure and T2D falls in this category
I have high Coronary test result: 550 I am also diabetic My cardiologist said Im alright. That score 50 % only. But listening to your videos made me realize Im in trouble Help me, what to do now to prevent rupture of plaques or suffer heart attack
You are a smart man 👍 through your videos I'm burning fat in my sleep I used to be a bodybuilder we push our bodies way too hard & eat way tooo much- u are helping me get back to my ROOTS 🙏
A friend recommended your channel so I looked you up. I immediately noticed your cap. Being a Trekkie myself, I, of course, was obligated to watch the entire video. I’m sooo glad that I did. I have had numerous echocardiograms and nuclear stress tests but my cardiologist has never recommended a CAC or a Metabolic test of any kind. I wish I lived in Florida so I could see you instead. I am now looking for a new cardiologist!
I was told by my primary that they don’t recommend a CAC scan because they are too dangerous! My new primary said no problem. My score was 67 after a so called healthy diet (sad diet). Fast forward 2 years later 2021, my score is now 49 and they still push the statins but at least I know I’m moving in the right direction.
That is 100% spot on, I am very athletic with a good diet, but on a cardiac CT scan the results were a horror show. ^ clogged arteries beyond 90% and i had to have 6 stints. Looks like it is hereditary as my dad died of a heart attack and my brother had one 8 months ago. Nothing showed this other than the scan, perfect blood numbers, perfect tests and most importantly zero symptoms. Fortunately the heart muscle was 100% intact.
You had no symptoms yet you had a ct scan, that showed 90% blockage and your artery is stentable. I have 50% in my mid lad, and 70% distal lad. My problem is my artery is to small for stents. My only hope is to stabilize my blockages through diet, medication, or have bypass surgery. It’s almost as though being in good shape was a curse and blessing for you. Being in shape saved your life (blessing) you had no symptoms at 90% blockage because you’re in shape (curse) I had symptoms with my blockages. I’m also in pretty good shape and eat a well balanced diet. Mostly fruits, veggies, nuts beans, and whole grains, daily intermittent fasting for over 3 years straight yet I have this condition. Be well.
If my mother had you as a Doctor she would have still been with us I’m learning each day from your videos to get my health back on track sadly where I live medicine is a business
Great. It all goes together. I have spent a lot of time, (too much?) on videos covering this topic. It is very complex, for sure. This guy is spot on. Do not rely on traditional medical treatment, might be good sometimes, but the big thing is to take his advice regarding excluding the bad stuff, including the good stuff and spend time outside, walk, run, just keep moving as much as you can.
Just went into a cardiologist. My general doc was frustrated because I wouldn't take a statin based on High LDL and Trigs. So I went carnivore and am fasting (use to do keto). I've lost 15 pounds and will stay on until I get my BMI to 22. I did a barrage of my own tests (CRP, ApoB, LDL(a), insulin) through Quest Labs. I have high markers for all but insulin--which is great--I've used fasting for years to avoid Type II Diabetes. After seeing the cardiologist he told me, I could have stopped testing at LDL. (UGH) So I asked him for a CAC. Cardiologist willing to make referral but only if I'm open to taking statins. Otherwise he says it s a waste of time. And BTW insurance doesn't cover it!! So setting up a CAC appointment. Did Ask about the new - PCSK9 inhibitor instead of statin and doc says he can only prescribe that if someone is resistant to statins. Why does everything come down to stains all the time?!
Isn't the CAC only a few hundred dollars now? My GP was surprisingly cool when I asked for one. I'm just a hypochondriac so I think he knew that'd it's hopefully ease my mind. Mines in a few weeks.
ZERO (0) calcium score does not mean no blockages!, you can still have soft plaque which could be shown on CT coronary angiography. Other than that this is a good informational video.
Friend had a heart attack his only symptom was he felt like he couldn't get any air or oxygen seamed low. He had no chest pains after the heart attack left him with only 36% of his heart rest was damaged. His only warning was 2 times with in a few weeks before he passed out while once pulling on a pull start engine on landscape chipper, and another time working on a fence. Most people would go to the ER if they woke up on the ground wondered what happened. He thought it was heat related on a hot day.
I had symptoms of no energy , totally out of breath and sweating just doing nothing . All when it was 40 degrees outside . This went on for a week here and there . I hope this Cardiologist doesn’t mess me up !
I'm so happy to have discovered you. I now understand so much more about my condition that was never really explained to me by my Cardiologist in the last three years and four heart attacks later. Too long and complicated to explain in a comment here. Needless to say I'm not too satisfied with my care. I would love to travel someday and have you take a look at me and my condition. Thanks for all you do. Your patients are truly blessed to have you.
I am a nurse, and this is the best explanation of a heart attack physiology. Because my LDL tends to be elevated, At 66, I myself had a CAC recently with a 0 score. I am slim and fairly active, avoid excess processed foods and sugars. It gave me some peace of mind, but I know it does not tell the whole story. However, after listening to this amazing dr. I am feel a lot better. I need to get me a stress test even if my score is 0 and shows no sign of small plaque that would give me almost 100% reassurance.
I guess it's fate, or just good timing, that I found your channel this week doc. I went to my cardiologist last week for a yearly checkup. I asked for a coronary artery calcium score, and he said I didn't need it. Just basically dismissed me like I was an idiot. And in the same visit, he says he knows I have calcium, because the ct scan shows it, and everyone my age has some plaque. So I leave with a prescription for low dose statin and low dose aspirin, and no CAC score. This is why people like me have a hard time trusting the medical establishment. I guess I just need to move to Florida!
So glad I found this channel. Just started as a Nurse Practitioner in a cardiology office in FL and it's become part of my education routine! Thanks Dr. Jamnadas!
I'm so grateful for the information, it helps knowing what our bodies are doing than putting our trust someone else - (medical student) who doesn't know our bodies or what they're doing.
Thank you soo much! I failed a stress test, a cath exam was ordered. I was told I have 50% blockage and they only stent at 70% and sent me on my way.... no other advice or anything. That was 6 months ago. I thought I was safe in the sense that heart attacks happen when you get full blockage at that 70+ %.. Needless to say this woke me up (scared me) and Christmas dinner I skipped all sugar foods and processed foods and walked 2 miles on the treadmill before laying down for bed. lol Now I need to research these "supplements". I don't have any idea what to take or do next other than better diet you've described and walk. Much love and appreciation!
I take nattokinase and vitamin K2 also sourced from natto. I also take an unfortified cod liver oil, cacao nibs, magnesium and I avoid all vegetable/seed oils and grains, sugar, carbs. I'm eating a carnivore/ketovore diet.
This is by far the best explanation I have heard/ seen from all the videos I’ve gone thru in the last couple weeks after being total I had an anterior infarction of unknown age.
So happy to find your videos, thank you for your compassion caring spirit . Physicians are taught to diagnose and treat patients, not so much to teach folks how to remain or be healthy. I’m a believer that we should be advocates in our own health. We get a manual with a vehicle telling us how it runs and how to maintain to last . We should know how our bodies work and how to maintain good health. We need more physicians like you. I have always kept copies of my yearly labs and compare them from year to year, it’s my manual, usually the nurse calls says we got your results doc said it’s normal. What I see is my lipids increasing, so before I get a call I need statins, I watch my diet keeping in check. I’m having medical issues now testing next week. I wish I could have you for my cardiologist, however you are helping by educating me to ask questions. So thank you for that. God bless you truly beautiful man ❤
Totally loved this lesson. Great clarity and enthusiasm. I especially appreciated the linking of what metabolic syndrome does to cardiovascular health risk. Totally appreciate it!
I’m in uk 🇬🇧 wish this wonderful Dr was here … thank you for your information! I had a STEMI heart attack whilst visiting New York at the opera ! I was lucky to have gotten the attention required. I had no symptoms other that excessive tiredness & mild shoulder discomfort which I put them to my backpack!!! I’m forever grateful to the Dr who treated me there.
Thank you Dr. J for another enlightening talk. The education I’ve received from your videos is the foundation of my current healthy lifestyle and hopefully a future of vitality and productivity!
Thank you for this video, Sad thing is rather than the general population thanking you for sharing this life saving information, many will just whine about how they can’t make the changes you recommend.
Great video. Just had my first Calcium Score done. It was 27. I am 68 years old, non smoker with a cholesterol score of 195 and apo-B levels are very good. After a year of complete diet change i went from 266 cholesterol to 195 and have lost 15% of my body weight so far. I appreciate all the advice vids that Dr Jamnadas has posted to help me along with Dr Exberg.

This video well explained this condition, and I'm very appreciative. A couple weekends ago, I spent an evening in the ER with chest...discomfort...I guess you could say. It wasn't pain, and I wasn't having difficulty breathing, but I've been having a lot of tightness or tension on both sides of my neck, along my collarbone, on both sides of my chest, and behind my left shoulder. It's not all at once, and it's not constant. The pain or discomfort does not extend below my ribcage or in the lower center of my torso area. While there, they did an EKG, x-ray, multiple blood tests, and then a CT scan bc my d-dimer levels were slightly elevated. The scan was with contrast. I was not seen by a cardiologist while I was there, just regular ER docs. They said my heart and lungs look good, and they didn't see any blood clots. They told me it was unlikely I'd had a heart attack, but they did recommend a stress test. I contacted my primary care doc the next day, and she referred me for a consultation with a cardiologist. My appointment is in 2 weeks. Unfortunately, that was the earliest I could get in. My question is - how likely is it that they checked my calcium build-up or score while I was in the ER? Is it likely they only did a high level check of the scan results? Would a cardiologist take a more in-depth look? Thank you in advance.
I was at the ER too last monday and the dialogue between you and your dr is exactly the same dialgue my doctor told me. my bo was in a crisis level, i have shoulder pain and has been dizzy for the past few wks. still the ER told me all looked normal in ly blood tests, x-ray and CT scan. i contacted my dr so i can get a referral to a cardiologist for a stress test.
@@lifeoftata1446 Best of luck to you. I ended up seeing a cardiologist, and everything was good. I got one of the tests he was talking about here, and my score was 0, which is great!
Doctor PJ explains the subject in a way that anyone can understand easily and at the same time take it seriously. His desire to spread awareness of the hidden dangers in matters related to cardilogy is a great great social service . I am sure many are being benefitted by viewing his videos like I am. He is like the sun among many stars.
I have been been watching you for almost a year. I still learn from your videos. We need our insurance companies to pay for these test. We should not be taking in taking test that do not give the full picture. The wrong test are why guys go to doc think there ok go home and get heart attacks. Yes we have to change as a culture but we need to listen to Doctors like Dr Pradip and we peep need put pressure on our insurance companies.
6 ft 160 lbs regularly exercise, 8 months after a TIA stroke no blockages found, I had a massive heart attack, 99% blockage central heart artery. Seems they missed something. Now recovering from heart damage 30% functional and blood clots in my lungs and DVT left leg.
Wow! Now That's Scary to read!!😳 Does heart disease run in your family? Your profile pic looks rather young. And you also seemed quite fit!?🤔 How are you doing now?
this is great information Doctor- I have lost weight, made life changes and my metabolic panel is almost perfect at 57 I still have a high calcification score which I'm working on now.
This is good, gives a lot of important clarity. The issue is to be quiet and try to clam down , breathe, feel the body energy and meditate and fast, drink water. I've had about 3 mild heart attacks, progessed to mild dizzyness and I will have to wait for a referral before seeing s specialist.
Great info. 59yrs old hit the weights 4 days a week for the last 28yrs. Dad died at 89 last year with diabetes and hearts problems. His Dr recommended siblings take the CAC test. Kaiser Dr useless so I got a referral from a cardiologist for free and paid 71 dollars to have it done. Very cheap especially here in California. Test showed zero. I've been fighting high triglycerides for the last 3 years so this was reassuring. Watching my carbs taking many supplements and kind of doing carnivore eating for last 2 months along with IF 16/8 M-F. DHEA and pregnenolone daily has also helped me big time; for us seniors lol.
I passed yearly stress tests for my pilots licence until I went past the 10 minute mark where the doctor was saying “ ok pass “ until extra beats. Was fit from lots of tennis but scan revealed 95% blockage of the LAD. Now with a stent, CoQ10, K2, D3, magnesium and selenium daily plus avoid processed foods and sugar. Keep active.
I have just discovered Dr Jamnadas here in New Zealand. You ask for these test and you literally have to beg even if you have health Insurance or pay. There are so many people needing these test
Thank you Doctor it's really really eye opening tips you have given I being the CAD patient and having my Angioplasty 9 years befor these questions are always came in my whenever I visit to my Cardiologist for my yearly followup action Sir once again thank you sososososo much for important guidence
@@howdareu964 True but it does not end there rather start from there. Details on dietary changes needed. Right? He must know them. Exercises, what sort of minium exercises for what age groups and etc. Sleeping habits etc.
@@hollysrarechromojourney3882 Thanks for replying. There is some confusion in his suggestion regd fasting. If you fast for a day periodically, say for every 4 days once, that is intermittent fasting. Another method is 16 hour gap for breakfast, after your last meal yesterday. Which one he recommends ?
Dr. I just called your office to get help with a Heart CT Score test. The person was very rude, put me on hold, then later hung up the phone on me. You are working hard and your peeps are not any help. FYI
I had an MI in Dec of 2019, my cardiologist didn't do a calcium score or a metabolic workup and didn't even care that I was prediabetic. I studied on my own and decided to start Keto, lost 27 lbs, got my A1c down to 4.7, started supplements to reduce coronary calcium (D3, K2, and others) and exercise daily (walking for 40 mins). I recently asked for a Insulin Resistance test and it showed that I was at 12 (33 is prediabetic). I now requested a CAC test (my cardiologist wasn't even sure what it was) and will go in tomorrow for it. I wish Dr Jamnadas was here in Phoenix. Thank you for all you do and share with us.
If you don't mind me asking what else did you take to reduce the calcium buildup
Hope this message finds you well…. Congratulations on taking your health and wellness in to your own hands….

GOOD for you. You are on the right track. I had a right heart CAth that showed 50% mid and 70% distal with bridging from mid to distal
To distal in the lad, yet my cardiologist never told me. He said I was fine except my injection fraction was lower then he expected. It was 55 to 60% (which is considered normal.) The only reason I knew about the blockages is b/c I went to the hospital and requested my test results. I advise everyone to get a copy of your labs and test.

I am a Nurse Practitioner. Love the lessons by Dr. Jamnadas. However, Insurance will not approve these tests unless ordered by a cardiologist. Pretty crazy if you ask me. They are so important. So much of what we do is dictated by insurance.
My primary care has the booklets for the scan in her office. I did do the scan which is not covered by insurance so I paid $99. I found out my score is 225. I went to a cardiologist who order a stress test and echocardiagram that insurance paid for since the scan showed build up.
Sometimes they won’t approve it by a Cardiologist.
Of course not.the system is designed to keep you a client.and keep bringing money. ..we need to take responsibility ourselves and listen to docs like this who are not following big pharma guidelines
It is crazy how insurance companies will cover the disease but not the prevention. My husband's PSA test levels continued to show increases. His dad and brother both had prostrate cancer so although he was under seventy we had concerns. Our insurance company would cover PSA tests more than every two years, so we paid for them. I did call the insurance company and suggested they look at the things they waste money on. I told them cancer is much more expensive than preventative testing. Sure enough, he got prostrate cancer, so it was good that we paid for the tests ourselves and caught it while it was still contained in the prostrate..

All we need to do is listen to this God sent doctor; listen to his dos and don’ts, and know that ACTION is key
He has surely given us the information to try to restore our health. We just have to hope that we haven’t waited to long.
Some, like myself probably should watch his videos daily to make sure it sinks in and is a constant reminder; in ways its kind of like “ repetition being the mother of skills” but the right way to phrase it escapes my mind right now
My Dad died suddenly as you described, here today gone tomorrow.
You have just enspired me to take a deep look at my lifestyle. Thank you.
I just saw your fasting for survival lecture! I wanted to reach out because I did fast for 4 days (Sunday-Thursday) every other week prior to my chemo (6 rounds of Adriamycin & 6 of Taxol) for breast cancer. Ate a small meal after transfusions and was in bed for about 2 days after. I was able to be fine for work on Monday following…
That was in 2017 and I’m living proof that it works!
Superb....Please update me with few more details..
It is very exciting...
@@umeshmysoreshivaraju26 sorry for late reply…
What else would you like to know? I was eating a low carb but plant centered diet (lots of leafy greens & cruciferous veggies & limiting white sugar) and drinking a gallon of spring water/day. I also did detox bath on Sunday evening after chemo… I’ve been cancer free since 1/2018. Hope that helps…

All my mother had was sharp pain in her left arm pit that kept getting progressively worse which was ignored and passed off at a local ER, it wasn’t until my father, threatened everyone with a lawsuit that three hours later they took her seriously, it turned out she had 5 blockages that were 90 & 95% blocked. They immediately prepped her for surgery. After surgery due to her having gone 3 hours without treatment they gave her 5 years at the most & she passed 5 years to the day November 12th, 1986. She was also type 1 diabetic since she was 16. There’s not a day goes by that she is not missed. She was 50 years old when she passed. 😢
Wow sorry to hear condolences that sounds terrible 🙏 shame on them.
Condolences 🙏...may I ask what test they sis that showed the blockages? Or did they do a angiogram/cath?
😮
❤️ 💙
Condolences for your mom, she will be with you always.
Excellent video. I'm 61 yrs. Old. A runner. I've run almost 10k miles. I've never had health issues in my life. After some DNA finding I decided to get a calcium scan. My score lead me to a cardiac ct which found I have heart decease with 35% blockage in the LAD. I would have never known. My calcium scan cost 100 dollars and 10 min of my time. Everyone should have the scan done.
how do you plan to address it now that you know
@jf1341 that's a tough question. After much talk there's too much risk for a stent. For now, diet change and 1 small med change. Although I've always been healthy. I've run almost 10k miles. This has been quite a shock. I'm due for a yr checkup since I found all of this.
@NotTelling51 lots of runners have calcium build up!! The reason for this is not enough" rest" for repair in the heart to make it simple .....so the stretching from the stress builds up inflammation and gets calcified or it could have been from a infection such as strep throat or staphylococcus from bad teeth or root canal
@coffeeblogger7441 or it could be from bad DNA. My Grandpa died at 58. His son, my uncle, died at 40 at his desk at work. Both with the widow maker.
@@NotTelling51 ahhh then that's it
I learned more in this video than I have learned from my cardiologist and surgeon(CABG) in the months leading up to my surgery and the year since my surgery. They told me after the surgery (95% blockage on the widow maker) that I still had a 75% blockage on my right artery. The surgeon told me not to delay having a stent put in, but my cardiologist said he won't put one in until there is 80% blockage and he would check me again 12 months after my CABG! I have had mild chest pain on and off since the surgery and have been to ER a couple of times. If they did the calcium and metabolic tests I am not aware of it. I think I am going to look for another cardio doc.
Thanks for the information, my Dad recently had an angina event, we were scheduled for 90 day blood work the next week. The dr set up a CAC test for my dad and myself……
Dad score was off the chart at 8749 and mine at 0…. This should be a stark wake up call to anyone who doesn’t manage diabetes as my dad did not….. Once I inherited that wonderful gene from him I have been aggressively attacking the condition. This was my 2nd CaC test with zero on both now 4 years apart. I share this with everyone I know……
This explains why my Mother and my FIL both had heart attacks even after recently visiting their cardiologist.
Dr. Jamnadas is Brilliant. He truly cares about his patients.
Great info and Dr. J is so right. My older surfer brother, not a ounce of fat on him, was getting chest pains while surfing what would be his very last time. A week later, he went to get stress test and had double carotid artery stroke during the test that almost killed him. They did not give him ANY clot busting meds in fear of the clots going to brain and killing him. 3 months later had scan of the carotid arteries at a vascular surgeon office, and by some divine intervention, they saw NO blockage in the carotids. 6 months later when he was better recovered from the double stroke, he went in again for the heart scan and the next day he had quadruple bypass, having 2 arteries 90% blocked, the others 75% blocked. I am still amazed at how he had all this happen and how he recovered. Sad thing is that he avoided doctors and did not take any BP meds as he knew we had very high BP genetically. Me and my other bro had been taking small BP meds last 10 years. Anyway, somethings defy logic but watching Dr Jamnadas is amazing and his instant recall of what he knows is also very wonderful, truly a very, very smart man, I am lucky that he is near me and I probably will go see him soon to get a thorough check out. He is the only doc I have seen to list his prices on his website for procedures and also lab work. I have lab blood work to get done and was not able to get actual cost to me from the lab, even with my insurance!!! What a scam they run! I think it said on his website that they got so tired of dealing with all the different insurance payment amounts, they mainly do only cash pay labs and for a full CBC, the cost listed was 33 bucks!!!!! Thank You, thank You Dr. Jamnadas!!!!!!!!!! Happy New Year!!!
Do you know what type of foods or diet your surfer brother was typically eating prior to his stroke? It’s hard to believe he didn’t have any fat on him, but yet had all these hidden underlying health issues.
@@user-zq3qd8ui5o Well, he was a not fat very muscular but ws not seeing ANY doc and we have hi BP in the family, he also did not eat as good as he thought, his metabolism was that of a squirrel, he could never put on weight no matter what he ate. But the hi BP and carbs he ate got to him.
@@user-zq3qd8ui5ono it’s not. My metabolism is fast & my hearts average. LVH, cardiomyopathy.
I look healthier than 99% of the population.
You are doing a great job. I have always believed that when the root cause of high blood pressure is identified, it is gone. You have proved it over and over again through your videos.
This man should have a million followers!
What are Disperin tabs. Anyone please.
This DR. has an amazing way of describing, informing and illustrating things that a common joe like me can understand. You're the best.
I wish that my mom and dad had this doctor. I wish that my husband had this doctor. My father might still be alive. And my husband probably would never have had a heart attack.
His explanation is so clear. Being a retired nurse, I understand him
Thank you! I’m 50 (with family history of heart disease) and had a stress test and 24 hour bp monitor last year but I still getting pains in my chest but was given the ok by the Dr that everything was fine. 12 months later I’m still feeling not right, so asked is there was a test that shows the condition of my arteries. I’m thankful to say it’s a CT calcium test which I’ll have shortly before our next appointment in 2 months. In the mean time I’ve started taking K2 with my D3… I yet to start taking magnesium. But I’m cutting out sugar and added in lots of veggies and salads. With new understanding I’m trying to improve my health. Thank you for your content… I’ve just found you and am already working my way through it.
In 2014, my husband had a cardiac stress test and was given a clean bill of health. 3 months later, he had a massive heart attack.
I’m sorry to hear that and I’ve heard of things like that happening before.
I was in a rehab center after having a triple by-pass last year. Met a guy there that had a massive heart attack 2 days after his stress test. They said he was just fine. Doesn't make any sense!
I think a stress test is a waste of time and money.
I had no pain they put in stent and my visit to the cardiologist he squeezed my ankle said take these drugs and get out of here sent me a bill after insurance for $174 not one word about how fat I was metabolic syndrome the fact that his drugs would cause diabetes or not one word about nitric oxide and how to get it into your body come on someone won a Nobel prize for this
I have a blood clot I recently found out by CT scan. I'm just shocked how TH-cam recommended this video to me. I never even typed a word in a TH-cam search engine. I just came back from the hospital. Having said that. Now I know what to look forward to. Thank you for the info
I did a Coronary Calcium CT scan and my number was 225. I went to a cardiologist for advice and she told me to do a low fat diet and was questioning me about being there if I have no pain. I told her I was trying to do prevention since heart disease is in my blood line. She ordered a stress test. I finally had to call her for my results and was told everything looked OK and to come see her in a year. I plan to find another cardiologist. I also do wonder 🤔 when or if I will have a heart attack.
If I where you I would get a copy of the stress test. I went through the same thing with my cardiologist. He said I was fine over the phone. Asked for a copy of the report. The report stated that I had moderate mitral valve regurgitation, mild bicuspid regurgitation, trace aorta regurgitation, left ventricular hyper trophy, and dilated right ventricula. I researched it so a made some adjustments to my diet, and life style. It’s not a major concern, but he should’ve told me. Some of these Drs want your condition to become bad enough so they can perform a procedure or put you on meds.
@@captainadams7569 I did get a copy of the report and also have valve regurgitation issue. When I called them out on it, I was told it can be controlled with less sodium. This ticked me off because if I had not reviewed the report less sodium would have been the last thing on my mind. smh
@@bjmorgan3092 Unbelievable. Be well.
Stop carbs br3ad pastry seed oils like he says.
Yes find another dr. Go on strick keto diet. No wheat. No sugar. Low fat. And fast. Look it up on TH-cam
Finally found a doctor who cares for people. It is very rare in America. Most doctors care for putting you on circular appointments and keep treating symptoms as oppose to treating root cause of the symptoms. I am T2D and my doctor kept giving me metphormin until I started taking control over my diet. Most of the condition our body is created by ourselves and if you undo them, it will be normal. High cholesterol, High blood pressure and T2D falls in this category
Exactly
I have high Coronary test result: 550
I am also diabetic
My cardiologist said Im alright. That score 50 % only. But listening to your videos made me realize Im in trouble
Help me, what to do now to prevent rupture of plaques or suffer heart attack
You are a smart man 👍 through your videos I'm burning fat in my sleep I used to be a bodybuilder we push our bodies way too hard & eat way tooo much- u are helping me get back to my ROOTS 🙏
A friend recommended your channel so I looked you up. I immediately noticed your cap. Being a Trekkie myself, I, of course, was obligated to watch the entire video. I’m sooo glad that I did. I have had numerous echocardiograms and nuclear stress tests but my cardiologist has never recommended a CAC or a Metabolic test of any kind. I wish I lived in Florida so I could see you instead. I am now looking for a new cardiologist!
I was told by my primary that they don’t recommend a CAC scan because they are too dangerous! My new primary said no problem. My score was 67 after a so called healthy diet (sad diet). Fast forward 2 years later 2021, my score is now 49 and they still push the statins but at least I know I’m moving in the right direction.
😂😂😂😂 cac doesn't mean shit, u still can get heart attack
What did you change?

That is 100% spot on, I am very athletic with a good diet, but on a cardiac CT scan the results were a horror show. ^ clogged arteries beyond 90% and i had to have 6 stints. Looks like it is hereditary as my dad died of a heart attack and my brother had one 8 months ago. Nothing showed this other than the scan, perfect blood numbers, perfect tests and most importantly zero symptoms. Fortunately the heart muscle was 100% intact.
How did you get the doc to agree and scan you when everything else was looking good???
@@cmckee021 My wife is a doctor and she forced me to insist on a scan from the doctor due to family history.
Wow
Blood is not a good marker for pre MI only good post MI
You had no symptoms yet you had a ct scan, that showed 90% blockage and your artery is stentable. I have 50% in my mid lad, and 70% distal lad. My problem is my artery is to small for stents. My only hope is to stabilize my blockages through diet, medication, or have bypass surgery. It’s almost as though being in good shape was a curse and blessing for you. Being in shape saved your life (blessing) you had no symptoms at 90% blockage because you’re in shape (curse) I had symptoms with my blockages. I’m also in pretty good shape and eat a well balanced diet. Mostly fruits, veggies, nuts beans, and whole grains, daily intermittent fasting for over 3 years straight yet I have this condition. Be well.
Dr. I am the person you explain this condition. I got my Calcium score and CT Coronary Angiogram done. I am meeting my Cardiologist today.
If my mother had you as a Doctor she would have still been with us I’m learning each day from your videos to get my health back on track sadly where I live medicine is a business
Sounds like you live where I live. The united states.

Great. It all goes together. I have spent a lot of time, (too much?) on videos covering this topic. It is very complex, for sure. This guy is spot on. Do not rely on traditional medical treatment, might be good sometimes, but the big thing is to take his advice regarding excluding the bad stuff, including the good stuff and spend time outside, walk, run, just keep moving as much as you can.
This Doctor is saving lives !
He's the Greatest I've ever seen ! Thank you for sharing TRUTH 🌷💖🌷💊🏥
Just went into a cardiologist. My general doc was frustrated because I wouldn't take a statin based on High LDL and Trigs. So I went carnivore and am fasting (use to do keto). I've lost 15 pounds and will stay on until I get my BMI to 22. I did a barrage of my own tests (CRP, ApoB, LDL(a), insulin) through Quest Labs. I have high markers for all but insulin--which is great--I've used fasting for years to avoid Type II Diabetes. After seeing the cardiologist he told me, I could have stopped testing at LDL. (UGH) So I asked him for a CAC. Cardiologist willing to make referral but only if I'm open to taking statins. Otherwise he says it s a waste of time. And BTW insurance doesn't cover it!! So setting up a CAC appointment. Did Ask about the new - PCSK9 inhibitor instead of statin and doc says he can only prescribe that if someone is resistant to statins. Why does everything come down to stains all the time?!
Money
Isn't the CAC only a few hundred dollars now? My GP was surprisingly cool when I asked for one. I'm just a hypochondriac so I think he knew that'd it's hopefully ease my mind. Mines in a few weeks.
@@bw2569 I paid $129 for my CAC. Not covered by insurance, but not too expensive.
You are the best! I would like to visit you!
Statins equal BIG money for Pharma and Doctor 😂😂😂
ZERO (0) calcium score does not mean no blockages!, you can still have soft plaque which could be shown on CT coronary angiography. Other than that this is a good informational video.
Thank you for that information
Exactly stunning he doesn't address this!!
Friend had a heart attack his only symptom was he felt like he couldn't get any air or oxygen seamed low. He had no chest pains after the heart attack left him with only 36% of his heart rest was damaged. His only warning was 2 times with in a few weeks before he passed out while once pulling on a pull start engine on landscape chipper, and another time working on a fence. Most people would go to the ER if they woke up on the ground wondered what happened. He thought it was heat related on a hot day.
So sorry for the loss
An inch of prevention is " worth ".....a pound of cure!.... Knowledge IS.... " Power!" ....Prevention... IS ... the Best Medicine !!!!💊💓
I had symptoms of no energy , totally out of breath and sweating just doing nothing . All when it was 40 degrees outside . This went on for a week here and there . I hope this Cardiologist doesn’t mess me up !
Every video deserves a wow!! Very well explained for someone who really want to help themselves and not to depend on medicines that doctors prescribed
I'm so happy to have discovered you. I now understand so much more about my condition that was never really explained to me by my Cardiologist in the last three years and four heart attacks later. Too long and complicated to explain in a comment here. Needless to say I'm not too satisfied with my care. I would love to travel someday and have you take a look at me and my condition. Thanks for all you do. Your patients are truly blessed to have you.
I am a nurse, and this is the best explanation of a heart attack physiology. Because my LDL tends to be elevated, At 66, I myself had a CAC recently with a 0 score. I am slim and fairly active, avoid excess processed foods and sugars. It gave me some peace of mind, but I know it does not tell the whole story. However, after listening to this amazing dr. I am feel a lot better. I need to get me a stress test even if my score is 0 and shows no sign of small plaque that would give me almost 100% reassurance.
You are a blessing to humanity.❤
Very helpful and saved.
Never once a CT Scan
I guess it's fate, or just good timing, that I found your channel this week doc. I went to my cardiologist last week for a yearly checkup. I asked for a coronary artery calcium score, and he said I didn't need it. Just basically dismissed me like I was an idiot. And in the same visit, he says he knows I have calcium, because the ct scan shows it, and everyone my age has some plaque. So I leave with a prescription for low dose statin and low dose aspirin, and no CAC score. This is why people like me have a hard time trusting the medical establishment. I guess I just need to move to Florida!
So glad I found this channel. Just started as a Nurse Practitioner in a cardiology office in FL and it's become part of my education routine! Thanks Dr. Jamnadas!
He is my doctor. Excellent work in all areas. Thorough and gives great follow up.
outstanding explanation Dr! just found you and now bingewatching your videos.
I'm so grateful for the information, it helps knowing what our bodies are doing than putting our trust someone else - (medical student) who doesn't know our bodies or what they're doing.
Great 👍
Thank you soo much! I failed a stress test, a cath exam was ordered. I was told I have 50% blockage and they only stent at 70% and sent me on my way.... no other advice or anything. That was 6 months ago. I thought I was safe in the sense that heart attacks happen when you get full blockage at that 70+ %.. Needless to say this woke me up (scared me) and Christmas dinner I skipped all sugar foods and processed foods and walked 2 miles on the treadmill before laying down for bed. lol Now I need to research these "supplements". I don't have any idea what to take or do next other than better diet you've described and walk. Much love and appreciation!

This is by far the best explanation I have heard/ seen from all the videos I’ve gone thru in the last couple weeks after being total I had an anterior infarction of unknown age.
Excellent presentation! Thank you.
Because of your videos I am trying the sugar detox as well as the 18 hour fast as you spoke about. 8 days & going strong. Keep the good works coming.
So happy to find your videos, thank you for your compassion caring spirit . Physicians are taught to diagnose and treat patients, not so much to teach folks how to remain or be healthy. I’m a believer that we should be advocates in our own health. We get a manual with a vehicle telling us how it runs and how to maintain to last . We should know how our bodies work and how to maintain good health. We need more physicians like you. I have always kept copies of my yearly labs and compare them from year to year, it’s my manual, usually the nurse calls says we got your results doc said it’s normal. What I see is my lipids increasing, so before I get a call I need statins, I watch my diet keeping in check. I’m having medical issues now testing next week. I wish I could have you for my cardiologist, however you are helping by educating me to ask questions. So thank you for that. God bless you truly beautiful man ❤
Totally loved this lesson. Great clarity and enthusiasm. I especially appreciated the linking of what metabolic syndrome does to cardiovascular health risk. Totally appreciate it!
I’m in uk 🇬🇧 wish this wonderful Dr was here … thank you for your information! I had a STEMI heart attack whilst visiting New York at the opera ! I was lucky to have gotten the attention required.

Sad thing is rather than the general population thanking you for sharing this life saving information, many will just whine about how they can’t make the changes you recommend.
Great video. Just had my first Calcium Score done. It was 27. I am 68 years old, non smoker with a cholesterol score of 195 and apo-B levels are very good. After a year of complete diet change i went from 266 cholesterol to 195 and have lost 15% of my body weight so far. I appreciate all the advice vids that Dr Jamnadas has posted to help me along with Dr Exberg.

I appreciate your detailed lecture always . Thank you
Incredible video. This Doc is a rock star.
Excellent presentation clearly and thoroughly explained.
This video well explained this condition, and I'm very appreciative.
A couple weekends ago, I spent an evening in the ER with chest...discomfort...I guess you could say. It wasn't pain, and I wasn't having difficulty breathing, but I've been having a lot of tightness or tension on both sides of my neck, along my collarbone, on both sides of my chest, and behind my left shoulder. It's not all at once, and it's not constant. The pain or discomfort does not extend below my ribcage or in the lower center of my torso area.
While there, they did an EKG, x-ray, multiple blood tests, and then a CT scan bc my d-dimer levels were slightly elevated. The scan was with contrast. I was not seen by a cardiologist while I was there, just regular ER docs. They said my heart and lungs look good, and they didn't see any blood clots. They told me it was unlikely I'd had a heart attack, but they did recommend a stress test. I contacted my primary care doc the next day, and she referred me for a consultation with a cardiologist. My appointment is in 2 weeks. Unfortunately, that was the earliest I could get in.
My question is - how likely is it that they checked my calcium build-up or score while I was in the ER? Is it likely they only did a high level check of the scan results? Would a cardiologist take a more in-depth look? Thank you in advance.
Hello just curious following up with you how did you make out with your appointment? Were they able to find anything further?
I was at the ER too last monday and the dialogue between you and your dr is exactly the same dialgue my doctor told me. my bo was in a crisis level, i have shoulder pain and has been dizzy for the past few wks. still the ER told me all looked normal in ly blood tests, x-ray and CT scan. i contacted my dr so i can get a referral to a cardiologist for a stress test.
@@lifeoftata1446 Best of luck to you.
I ended up seeing a cardiologist, and everything was good. I got one of the tests he was talking about here, and my score was 0, which is great!
Doctor PJ explains the subject in a way that anyone can understand easily and at the same time take it seriously.
His desire to spread awareness of the hidden dangers in matters related to cardilogy is a great great social service .
I am sure many are being benefitted by viewing his videos like I am.
He is like the sun among many stars.
Terrific I'm dying everyday. No hope!!
Thank you so very much, doctor! 👍👍👍
I am in the process I’ve checking my heart condition.At the VA hospital. This will be helpful to me; thank you
This lecture was really good.
I have been been watching you for almost a year. I still learn from your videos. We need our insurance companies to pay for these test. We should not be taking in taking test that do not give the full picture. The wrong test are why guys go to doc think there ok go home and get heart attacks. Yes we have to change as a culture but we need to listen to Doctors like Dr Pradip and we peep need put pressure on our insurance companies.
Please get insurance to cover prevention tests!! It's way cheaper in the long run, and healthier!
Everyone must listen to this to truly understand the process of potentially getting a heart attack.
Excellent explanation. Very thorough. I am now more aware, thanks to you for being generous with your knowledge!!
One more passionate health reformist🙏🙏🙏
6 ft 160 lbs regularly exercise, 8 months after a TIA stroke no blockages found, I had a massive heart attack, 99% blockage central heart artery. Seems they missed something. Now recovering from heart damage 30% functional and blood clots in my lungs and DVT left leg.
Wow! Now That's Scary to read!!😳 Does heart disease run in your family? Your profile pic looks rather young. And you also seemed quite fit!?🤔 How are you doing now?
Sorry this happened to you.
this is great information Doctor- I have lost weight, made life changes and my metabolic panel is almost perfect at 57 I still have a high calcification score which I'm working on now.
Dr Jamnadas, you’re my doctor now. I’m following your advice.
This is good, gives a lot of important clarity. The issue is to be quiet and try to clam down , breathe, feel the body energy and meditate and fast, drink water. I've had about 3 mild heart attacks, progessed to mild dizzyness and I will have to wait for a referral before seeing s specialist.
Thank-you for sharing this. 💕 Very informative !!!! Most Doctors don't have the time to explain to patients .
One of the best. Thanks for the awareness ❤❤❤ it

this is the best explanation of a heart attack I have heard....Scary
Great info. 59yrs old hit the weights 4 days a week for the last 28yrs. Dad died at 89 last year with diabetes and hearts problems. His Dr recommended siblings take the CAC test. Kaiser Dr useless so I got a referral from a cardiologist for free and paid 71 dollars to have it done. Very cheap especially here in California. Test showed zero. I've been fighting high triglycerides for the last 3 years so this was reassuring. Watching my carbs taking many supplements and kind of doing carnivore eating for last 2 months along with IF 16/8 M-F. DHEA and pregnenolone daily has also helped me big time; for us seniors lol.
I passed yearly stress tests for my pilots licence until I went past the 10 minute mark where the doctor was saying “ ok pass “ until extra beats. Was fit from lots of tennis but scan revealed 95% blockage of the LAD. Now with a stent, CoQ10, K2, D3, magnesium and selenium daily plus avoid processed foods and sugar. Keep active.
I’m so grateful for your knowledge and experience.
Just had my calcium scoring done!
Thanks for an outstanding and Informative video Dr Jambadas.

True but it does not end there rather start from there.
Details on dietary changes needed. Right? He must know them.
Exercises, what sort of minium exercises for what age groups and etc.
Sleeping habits etc.

Fodmap diet
@@umeshmysoreshivaraju26 Dr Jamnadas advocates a low carbohydrate diet combined with intermittent fasting.

Thanks for replying.
There is some confusion in his suggestion regd fasting.
If you fast for a day periodically, say for every 4 days once, that is intermittent fasting.
Another method is 16 hour gap for breakfast, after your last meal yesterday.
Which one he recommends ?
Sir, excellent rare knowledge for common people
Lifesaving knowledge, its kind of sad that very few doctors tell these things, you are an excellent doctor!!!! God bless 🙏
I just found your channel and subscribed. excellent information and I like the way you explain it you and doctor Ford Brewer are the best!
Dr. I just called your office to get help with a Heart CT Score test. The person was very rude, put me on hold, then later hung up the phone on me. You are working hard and your peeps are not any help. FYI
You are the best Doctor!
