Did you know that heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S. and, each year, over 300,000 people die from sudden cardiac death? The good news? You have the power to protect yourself—starting today.

Dr. Joel Kahn jokes that he’s been calling himself a “salad bar-a-tarian” since 1977 when he actually saw and felt the personal link between good nutrition and heart health. And, as a cardiologist he’s been preaching this link now for decades..

Today, Dr. Kahn discusses the alarming statistics surrounding heart disease, including the prevalence of sudden cardiac death and the growing number of individuals at risk due to poor dietary habits and sedentary lifestyles.

As a proponent of “test, don’t guess,” he also stresses the importance of regular health screenings, including coronary artery calcium scoring and lipid profile assessments to identify potential risks BEFORE they culminate in serious health issues.

This far-reaching conversation includes:

  • Dr. Kahn’s personal journey from childhood heart murmur to plant-based doctor
  • How a whole food, plant-based diet can help prevent and even reverse heart disease
  • The most nutritious vegetable on the planet!
  • A discussion of liporotein(a) - the heart’s quiet killer
  • Dr. Kahn's thoughts on coffee and tea
  • The screening tests that could save your life
  • The Impact of AI on Medicine
  • What Menopausal Women Need to Know about Heart Health
  • Why heart disease is more preventable than you think

This conversation is packed with life-changing tips that you can put into practice today!
