i had high bp (~160/90) from my teens to my 39th birthday, panic attacks, snoring, hemorrhoids, diverticulitis, regular chest pain at the end, i also was a chain smoker of 3 packs a day. then i gone full carnivore, stopped smoking the day i started with this diet, bp gone down to 120/75 in two weeks, i also lost about 100 pounds. all my other problems were gone in about 6 months. it's a freaking miracle. now i am 40 years old, look like a 28 year old top athlete. i do long hikes and lift heavy weights 5 times a week. and my erectile dysfunction is a thing of the past ;-)
@@MajesticArtimus no, and to be honest, and i think i am not going to get one any time soon. All i know is that i feel great and my athletic performace is on top. Why scare myself with this scores, if i die, i die...if not, i keep feeling like a super hero ;)
@@truthoutnowyou won’t die, you’ll be so incapacitated that you’ll wish you would die.
@@nancyterramin9028 wow what a terrible thing to say. anyway, i feel like a super human all the time thanks to red meat, butter and eggs. if this kills me or does other harm to me, then i am ok with it, never felt better in my life.
@@truthoutnow sorry. I was commenting on your attitude not your diet. It is wonderful to feel so good. Bless you.
I am a 65 year old female and two years ago, after 3 years of keto, I had an episode of severe acute hypertension and chest pain and raised troponin. I was lying in A&E thinking I had got everything wrong and followed the wrong dietary path.
A coronary angiogram showed I had "coronary arteries remarkably clear of plaque". I had had a MINOCA (Myocardial Infarction with nonobstructive Coronary arteries). I had no Myocardial damage and all my markers resolved. For a few months an ECG watch showed some bizarre cardiac rhythms. This has all resolved and I am in good health.
What happened to me is quite typical of a Covid vaccine injury and I am convinced this is the case.
Why the heck did you get the harmful armful? 😱
Think! So many answers to your question. Some of us had the advantage of knowledge. Others faced homelessness from job loss if not shot, family exile & death threats for non-compliance (i.e. PCP admonishment). The "Killing granny" hype not only scared people into compliance but left Granny out isolated in "protective" facilities. @@jasoncdebussy
Unfortunately, most primary care doctors just want to prescribe the meds and not look into the why and make a plan to reverse it. Great video as always.
Good stuff Doc as always.
Thank you. Well done!
Excellent information- thank-you!
great information.
We love your videos. Always learn something new.
This is good information.
Thanks!!!
Excellent and understandable information, thank you.
Thank you.
The fourth stay-well daily habit is to listen to your videos. I really appreciate you and I am a recovered carboholic! Thank you so much!
Impact! Yes! You have enormous influence. Just emailed PCP requesting CAC after having discovered aortic atherosclerosis on abd CT w/ contrast.I’m SO grateful to have discovered your videos. We MUST educated and advocate for ourselves b/c providers are overextended and (some) informed only by algorithms & protocols.
TH-cam is really vast... But your channel is the best, Dr. Cywes!!! Thank you!
Thank you so much for these videos, Dr. Cywes. They are coming at the right time for me. For the first time in my life, my blood pressure has been consistently high. I just called a cardiologist today to see about getting a CAC scan.
"Why is your blood pressure up?" is a question none of my doctors has ever asked me. They just slam me with more lisinopril, even though it doesn't seem to change my numbers. I would greatly prefer to change my diet and/or lifestyle than allow any Big Pharma product into my body.
Thank you for all information you provide. I enjoy your videos and take your advice how to improve my health.
😊
We are Obviously in NEED of Great Honest and thorough Doctors such as this one.
,so glad/Thankful I found your channel.,.,.,
No aspirin..cayenne pepper is the greatest blood thinner
I quit smoking and quit carbs 4 months ago and as I recall it was you who made the statement that everytime you smoke it's like an explosion going off in your veins, or something like that. It's always stuck with me!
It's good to have a motivator.
Exactly
I am turning 65 so I need to ask NY doctor for some of these test
My bp went from 140 to 110 following his videos.
😊keep watching
Did a heavy bout of drinking last weekend and my bp the next day was 190/105! Down to 145/80 now but there’s gotta be a huge risk to cardiac disease by alcohol consumption
Andrew Huberman YT podcast #86 covers this. Cool that you got such immediate information from your personal lab rat!🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀Smart to test before & after BP!
Measuring blood pressure in the supine position shows lower blood pressure readings when compared with the seated position.
I've read that the arm should be level with the heart, which would be the case when lying down. Did you see how he held hos arm straight out from the shoulder?
I'm having a CAC tomorrow. I had to ask for it. This should absolutely be a routine test.
Agreed
Maybe. But if there are no protocols or drugs for CAC results how does the Medical Industrial Complex profit from it? Would it be a routine (cheap) screening if results uncovered underlying issues that aren't "covered"? I've heard NOTHING since CAC-131. I don't think they even see meaning in aortic plaque other than statin, statin, statin. Absolutely plan to follow @robertcywes2966 plan & precautions though
In mid 50s lost 67 lbs on keto and still do keto. Off BP meds and regular low 100s over mid to low 70s for BP, CAC score of 70, no nicotine, rare alcohol and baby aspirin a day. My heart rate is often at or some times over 100 with minimal activity. Use a Cardia and always sinus rhythm. Not sure why heart rate is higher than expected and BP number is always in the 70s rarely in the 60s even if first number is low 100s to even 99 at times.

TY for all your great info Dr C. Im 72 have always been very healthy. Smoked moderately 20+ years but quit 20 years ago. My lipids and sugars and other blood work good except ldl 164, my bmi is 30, a head mri clear except for some micro ubos, and my left carotid
Thank you Dr. Cywes. Should a person with blood clots avoid a ketogenic or carnivore diet?
I wish you were my doctor
I have issues with BP :( Im on 3 different meds and im averaging 152/89. Need to see my Dr about a CAC score though, cheers.
What about if you have Factor 5?
6 miles today on the stationary Handbike
What's the recommendation for patients with suspected familial hypercholesterolemia who wish to be keto?
Dr Cywes, my father and grandfather both had aortic aneurysms. Both were smokers and carb addicted. Because of you, my health is improving rapidly. However, I keep reading online that there is an INVERSE correlation between diabetes and aortic aneurysms. Does that mean having low blood sugar is going to make my chances worse? I’m so conflicted by this info.
Smoking directly related to AAA. Less so for carbs. Carbs more small vessel disease. Suggest getting a workup including CAC. Happy to help
I have been having arrhythmias/ectopic palpitations for 8 years now. I don't smoke, drink and am relatively active. I have had all the scans and stress tests etc. and my doctors dismiss them as benign and nothing to worry about. Even though i feel they have been progressively more frequent over the years. Does this sound right? I feel like there should be something i can do about them. The doc just tells me to take metoprolol which i dont like taking.
My brother had an heart attack + stent put in few months ago at 46yo. No warning - never had BP or cholesterol problems before, leads “healthy” lifestyle apart from smoking and his diet being influenced by a vegan girlfriend. It is in the family though- our father had one at 51. What would be best advice for someone relatively young after the heart attack? For now I told him to stop taking calcium and multivitamins.
Okay so, I got three stents when I was 50 years old! I am pretty much convinced that French vanilla creamer from Carnation, that is high fructose corn sugar mixed with hydrogenated oil, which I was addicted to in my coffee was the main culprit. Nevertheless by 50 years old I had 90% blockage of my RCA and 80% of the LAD. I also suffer from familia hypolipidemia, so without statins, actually even with full dose stems I'm still in the low 200s with cholesterol, LDL being 140 or higher. The advent of the PCkS9 inhibitors combined with maximum dose of pravastatin, gets me down to about 50 on LDL and maybe 105 overall. As you mentioned in other videos, I have many of the side effects, muscle weakness tendonitis, you name it. I'm sick and tired of statins, but I'm told by a radiologist who did my last CT that I have what's called lead pipe disease, i.e. all my arteries are completely calcified around my heart. I guess that's good and bad if you understand the progression of heart disease, but clearly I am out of the norm. I am stable, and I do a nuclear or exercise treadmill every other year. Really want to get off of statins though, I'm tired of the pain. FYI Just had my ApoB measured and it's about 86 on the statin and repatha.
Doc you didn't mention dangers of using smoking THC
Political dodgeball
Would you put both monitors to use at home you mentioned here in comments? Thank you so much!!!
I found SonoHealth EKG monitor on Amazon.
Yes
Great little educational video. The one thing if I may add is that the CAC score of 400 is for males. For females, I would say that getting a CAC score of 100 is about equivalent to the CAC of 400 in males. This is important since the highest rate risk in males is around 1800 but in females it is around 600. Hence a female with a CAC score of 400 is very close to a heart attack trouble but a male with the same score is far from serious danger. I hope you don't mind me adding this. 😘
Please post the source so I can share with my sis. Thanks.
@@chaz6399 what link are you asking for?
@@AngelaAStantonPhD Your post contains multiple specific claims so I'm assuming you were referencing a study of some sort. A link to that study (or studies) is what I'm asking for. My sister has a positive CAC score and I want her to have the best information. Her situation may be worse than she (and her doctor) thinks.
@@chaz6399 I wasn't referring to any one academic article. I was actually referring to a medical guideline by Mayo Clinic that contains 2 tables, one for male and the other for female CAC value assessment. On this table males go to max 1774 in CAC score whereas females to 631 max. Females get sicker at lower CAC score. The table was taken from an article published in Circulation: Assessment of Coronary Artery Disease by Cardiac Computed Tomography 2006;114:1761-1791 I ma not sure links go through on comments, but if you search the title, the article will pop up and it is a free reading article.
@@AngelaAStantonPhD Interesting, thank you. I will look it up.
Even without looking, though, it seems to contradict what I find with the MESA risk calculator (freely available online including as an app for iPhone and Android).
Just now I entered the following data into the calculator:
Age: 65
CAC: 400
Race: Caucasian
Diabetes: no
Current smoker: no
Family history of MI: no
Total cholesterol: 200
HDL cholesterol: 50
Systolic BP: 120
Lipid lowering medication: no
Hypertension medication: no
If I set gender to male, I get back the following:
"The estimated 10-year risk of a CHD event for a person with this risk factor profile including coronary calcium is 11.1%"
If I set gender to female, and leave all the other inputs the same, I get back the following:
"The estimated 10-year risk of a CHD event for a person with this risk factor profile including coronary calcium is 7.5%."
Essentially (at least for this set of inputs) the female risk at CAC of 400 is noticeably less than for a male with CAC of 400.
I haven't gone deeply into this calculator but the web page references the following article: J Am Coll Cardiol. 2015 Oct 13;66(15):1643-53.
Okay, even before posting this I found the article you mentioned and skimmed over it. I do see the table you referenced but it looks like the max values you posted were from the age 70-74 column. The max values are even higher in the >74 column.
The paper says that CAC scores in women are approximately 10 years behind those of men, but I don't see anything that says women are at greater risk from a lower CAC score. It's a super long paper so maybe I missed it.
When speaking about cardiovascular risk .... Trying keto again after things blew up somewhat during covid and recently i feel like my heart beats sometimes weirdly for about week and something. I had blood and urine tests and doctor did not found anything then ketones in the urine. Blood pressure was "very nice!" even after i just walked to 5th floor on stairs because elevator was broken. And generally i have poor heartrate variability since forever so it was hard for me. Any ideas? Currently i cant think of anything else then maybe ask for Holter for a day and have cardiologist comment on that?
Changed my woe in April 2023, off all meds for Type 2 diabetes and BP. Had a consult with Sheryl Fox and have an appointment with you March of 2042.
2042??? Crikey, Dr Cywes is busier than I thought!
Ha ha! I noticed the typo too but read your response before my quirky sense of humour came up with a smart comment @@trail.blazer
Sorry😮
March of 2024
It's amazing how quickly the time goes and 2024 is 18 years sooner @@jefferyr.wallace3524 😄
I’ve asked for a cac score to be done. I live in Canada. Dr. Says they don’t do that. He wants me on a statin because I have high total cholesterol. My apolipoprotein A1 and B100 are higher than what they are supposed to be. Should I be concerned? My hdl is 1.97 and triglycerides are .66.
Thank you for a great video....I just had a CAC test done....I am 74, never smoked, rarely drink, a little overweight and follow more of a ketovore diet. my CAC was around 190...how bad is that? What can I do to make sure it doesn't increase? Thank you!
Low carb diet and resistance training.
Can you explain why the resistance training helps? For some reason I've got resistance training resistance and need to get over it!!! @@DK-pr9ny
Dr. Cywes, do you think the covid vaccine is a cardiovascular risk?
I'm completely at a loss why anyone would be so stupid as to have that intervention
@@jasoncdebussy Fear drives the primitive brain devoid of reasoning and makes people be lead like a herd by "authorities"
What about having low blood pressure, is there a risk?. Im running between 90/50-100/60
tried 3 times to reach you by phone for an appointment, always busy mail box full.
Help! Labs all WNL, doing EVERYTHING right X17 months only to learn that " The observed Agatston Calcium Score of 131"! Got no breakdown of datapoint re: composition of aortic plaque. How do I ask for that? Which tests do I request to determine underlying inflammation? (RDW & MPV sl elevated but no CRP done)
Which personal EKG machine brand do you use?
How about clotting in brain?
Even with my weight loss doing fasting and LCMF diet ANd Telmisartan 80mg (it’s a BP med) my BP didn’t go down much. I think it’s my suspected anxiety disorder and / or suspected ADHD that is contributing to my high BP…. My blood pressure has now become a huge bone of contention for me and therefore I get so anxious checking my BP even if I calm myself for 10 minutes in a dark room etc…. Does anyone know if it really is possible that an anxiety disorder could to high BP?
I've got the image of your bedroom being less sanctuary and more hospital room. 😂
Nope.
Dr Cywes. I'm surprised you did not mention the benefits of serrapeptase combined with nattokinase for cardio vascular health.
I prefer healthy lifestyle v drugs that are supposed to do so on my behalf
Is nicotine in and of itself the issue, or is smoking cigs the issue because of all the other shit in cigarettes? Lots of us use Zyn Nicotene Pouches or Nicotene Gum for the nootropic effect, without the carcinogens, etc.
Soooooo?????? If the score is very high...what may be the treatment?
My CAC was 0. I had to pay $300 out of pocket for it. What part of the country is it only $50-100 or covered by insurance? Glad I had it done though.
Well worth the spend
I don't know where you are, but we have an imaging place here called RMI (multiple locations), and their cash-pay price (but you must have a doctor's order) is $75. We also dont have those no-dr-order-required $99 places here, either, at least that I've found. So even if you don't have an RMI, contact your imaging places directly and see if they have cash pay for a calcium scoring, and you may be surprised.
Have been on a carnivore diet for about 100 days. Lost about 13 lbs, 10 to go. But I did and advanced lipid test. My LDL-C was 192, LDL-P was 1429 and LDL size is 19.7. My Triglycerides is 225, HDL-C is 46. These numbers are somewhat concerning. Im very active .Exercise daily. All my cholesterol numbers were normal before starting the carnivore diet. Not sure what to next. The weight loss is good and I feel great. I'm also on daily 40mg statin.
I want to reply to yr concern bz of personal experience I had tg 302 then dropped to 95 then 55 within 2 months. I stayed with low carb and it resolved. As for high ldl I believe everyone knows its a lousy marker. If you don't hv symptoms esp..I wouldn't overerm my self with stress but keep monitoring.
@@zayd7282😊
Definitely get CAC.
What is your opinion on those Life Alert Screening people that come around and do those tests?? was that test you speak of in there? ( CAC score?)
Nope. Good idea but wrong tests
@@robertcywes2966 THANK YOU !! Many Blessings for your work and caring!
Ive had 2 CAC scores done 2 years apart.
114 and 160 the 2nd score is the important one to make sure you’re not creating new plaques, it is likely to rise from the 1st if you lose weight and get metabolically healthier.
Don’t let the numbers scare you if you get one.
Hang on there! Tell e more? CAC INCREASES if you lose weight & get metabolically healthier?
@@MK-sc8md Google Daniel Trevor unholy trinity it’s a book he also talks on an episode on prev med TH-cam channel
He’s explanation also confirms my 2 tests.
CAC scores aren’t the be all and end all. They don’t pick up soft plaques for a starters which cause a lot of heart attacks.
This stuff can be overwhelming and make ya crazy!! Hard to know where to focus & what will be best choices. @@UsyksmashedFurytopieces
Hi Doc , how much weight have you lost so far?
My Drs don’t think a cac test is necessary. I have Afib with RVP. I just had my 4th cardio version last week. I’ve had 2 ablations and 2 convergent ablations. Nothing left to burn on the back of my heart. I weigh 200 lbs now down from 275, I eat keto/ketovore.. my blood pressure is good but I’m still on losartan potassium, 50 mgs 2 x daily. Sotolol for Afib heart rate. And eliquis and other meds . Almost 74 years old. I started refusing the statin I was taking. But now they’re scaring me into taking again. Can you help me? Trigs 92 Hdl 75, LDL 233
Set up a visit
Same situation as you. Also have afib hypertension and high cac score. Not on statin but taking blood thinner. Not satisfied with my cardiologist so changing next month. I'm 72, so worried about the cac score.
@@terrellpeterson3917 a fib is no fun, I wish I could get a CAC score
I wish I could have you for a heart doctor.,.,.what do you think about carnivore??.,.Im 65 woman.,137 lbs 5 ft 4 autoimmune disease.,.spin issues.,. .,oh ,.,you just said "even if youre on a carnivore!!
I am not a cardiologist, I'm a metabolic specialist
@@robertcywes2966 Im amazed you answered me !! I am so very Thankful that you did ! I thought the same thing?
Is the CAC still relevant for anyone that has already had a bypass?
The main point of the CAC scan is early detection in asymptomatic patients. If you've had a bypass you're well past that point.
Is it possible to reduce a high CAC score?
No evidence that we can alter scarring
my heart monitor results came back and they said I was fine?? YET !! it also said I had a heart rate of 147 at one point and as low as 47 at one point?? doesn't sound fine to me?
Needs to be reviewed. All fine is not an actionable answer
what about nicotine gum?
Does it contain nicotine?.....
Why nicotine though? I thought it was the tobacco smoke and oxidation caused in the body that causes heart disease. Why does nicotine cause heart disease and caffeine doesn’t ? Genuinely curious.
Don't believe the tobacco companies. It's nicotine
You say don't use carbohydrates. Do you mean to say nobody should ever eat a carbohydrate? I eat around 100g of low glycemic carbs a day and have good test results. Perhaps am I missing something?
Recently seen by a cardiologist for elevated resting heart rate. It had been up as high as 110. Ketovore almost 6 yrs. Non smoker. He was concerned about caffeine. Should it be avoided like carbs & nicotine? Thx.
Changing to decaf folgers brought my bp down from 160/90 to normal range. Quickly!
You could experiment by cutting it out and see what happens.
@@jobrown8146 I had when I first became aware of it.
@@spinck9849 my BP was always very good. I normally run around 110/65.
Do the experiment. Go off for 2 wks and see
My Cardiologist said I couldn’t have a CAC test because I have 4 stents. Is that true/
CAC is for early detection of ASCVD in asymptomatic patients. If you have four stents you're well past the the point of CAC being useful.
My score CAC score was 0. How often should we have it checked
Every 5 to 10 years would probably be fine. It would take that long before you see much new calcification.
Thanks for responding. Mine was 0 last year and I was wondering the same thing. However my LDL has increased since going low carb 2 years ago and in my situation I think it would be better to have it done again much sooner. @@trail.blazer
AGATSTON SAYS EVERY 7 TO 10 YRS
What about White Coat Syndrome, every time I go to Dr BP is high at home normal.
I have the same, plus I don't think my doctor measures BP properly. I go in, sit down, she starts talking to me and expects answers, meanwhile she immediately takes my BP using a manual sphygmomanometer and without a resting period. My BP at home using multiple meters is always good. At least my doctor believes me my BP is good at home.
@@trail.blazer yeah it's a stress thing, in the past I would have a beer at home watching TV or something and it would drop like a rock. Long time since those days lol.
If you have a nurse connected to the doctor then you might get them to do it in quieter surroundings. I took my own readings and then told the nurse that the doctor was concerned and showed her my record of home tests. She allowed me to sit quietly whilst she was doing other things and when she took it is was okay. The doctor had wanted me to increase my perindopril and I had told her that I had reduced it because I felt fatigued and dizzy getting up. I was glad I got a low reading at the clinic to back up what I was telling the doctor. Dr Ken Berry has a video about how blood pressure tests should be done. @@blsrulz
Home matters
I have that problem at the dentist 😢
if your protein is 100 for a man per day would that be like 200 grams ribeye twice a day?
You can Google how much protein is in so many ounces/grams in meat
yes i did but a little confusing thank you@@kaywaddell9892
So no mention of a statin? Mine was high. 509. Thoughts 10:52
Total cholesterol doesn’t reflect cardiovascular risk. Statins increase incidence of diabetes and poor glucose control, which is an independent risk factor… and arguably one of the most important ones.
@@mattlange5890 well I’m 71 and never been on a med in my life. Always high ldl. So my doctor suggested a CAC score. Atherosclerosis and plaque buildup. That wouldn’t scare you to take a statin ? I was shocked.
Dr Rob has already done video/s on statins.
btw statins only reduce the number of large (healthy) LDL particles, do NOT reduce the number of small (damaging) particles. Stop damaging (oxidizing) your LDL (hint:carbs).
You missed the most important factor-diabetes. Keep an eye on your A1C and fasting insulin.
