Again please, please help us by sharing IHDA.ie as widely as possible - scroll down the home page to the SM share buttons.
For this episode, take a break from the current crisis, and start loading up on what will help people greatly during said crisis. In Italy, ~99% of deaths relating to the current outbreak were in people with concurrent disease states (overwhelmingly metabolic disease states). Similar statistics are emerging all over, as insulin resistance makes its presence felt in such a painful way.
Start fixing your metabolic disease today - you know it makes sense.
Now is the time - a time like no other.

Please support this free podcast by going to https://ihda.ie/ and sharing the website widely - we are gaining traction in spreading the word about the crucial importance of the Calcification Scan and CAC Score - but we need your support to accelerate the message!
Episode 60 is a thoughtful conversation with my great friend Nadir Ali MD, recorded last October in his Houston home. Nadir is a cardiologist who is highly motivated to achieve the best outcomes for his patients. He also manages to carry out an extraordinary level of research into all aspects of health. Nadir has released many excellent videos where he delivers detailed lectures on lipids, glucose/insulin dynamics, atherosclerosis drivers, drug interactions and much, much more. He runs a busy cardiology practice in Houston, TX - and also created and led the Low Carb Houston conferences in 2018/2019.
