The Fat Emperor Podcast

Happy Christmas all! And today we have a very special episode for you, Part 1 of a highly informative discussion with the inventor of the CAC algorithm which bears his name: "The Agatston Score". Yes we sit today with the cardiologist extraordinaire, Arthur Agatston MD! You will also know Dr. Agatston from his massively bestselling series of "South Beach" diet books. Dr. Agatston brought me through the wonderful approach he takes in his large West Beach Miami practice. He covers all of the heart attack root causes which are relevant for specific patients. Yes of course - most have some form of insulin resistance, via the Kraft test which he is now using widely . But others have more issues with uncommon "special" causes - which have to be identified and treated to eliminate future events. I am sure you will especially enjoy the patient case histories which Arthur has gathered together to illustrate the many things one needs to watch for. These case descriptions really help to demystify the many-headed hydra that is cardiovascular disease! CONTENTS INDEX TO FOLLOW

Also please share as much if possible to help the people! Today's podcast offers some provocative analyses on the mechanisms that lead to heart attacks. Keep in mind that the root causes remain the same, whether you focus on the plaque rupture mechanism or Dr. Stephen Hussey's intriguing metabolic models of failure. In any case a very interesting conversation, which culminates at the 36min point to answer the question: "Why is Heart Cancer so rare?"

Straight to the point is our Ted, and doesn't mince words or suffer fools gladly. Here he summarizes the best tests for the majority of people in the US. Of course a CAC scan blows away all tests in its power (just see https://ihda.ie/) - but this clip in fairness is just looking at blood tests. Let's see what he thinks!

Also please share as much if possible - the search engines and algorithms are not our friends anymore! Excellent conversation with Dr. Ross Walker Cardiologist - who has performed over 50,000 Coronary CT Scans to get that crucial CAC score for his patients. Do you think someone who worked with so much data from actually measuring the heart disease properly - knows what the hell causes it? Yes you're correct - he damn well does! Enjoy this conversation with one of the top experts in preventative cardiology - he puts most of them to shame :-) VIDEO PODCAST:  https://youtu.be/WHPA6WX-2_k FULL TRANSCRIPT:  https://thefatemperor.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Ep45-Eliminating-Heart-Attacks-%E2%80%93-is-it-the-Cholesterol-or-What.pdf

Welcome to Episode 44, featuring a return guest Peter Ballerstedt - expert on forage agronomy and much else relating to livestock.  There's been a lot of discussion of late with regard to livestock and climate impacts - and often the nutrient-density of animal foods is left out of the conversation. Here we have a short 20min chat on some of the key points regarding both, recorded when I caught up with Peter at Keto Salt Lake last April.  For those interested in the arena, there are good published papers HERE and HERE which cover the controversy.

A short one today from Monaco, where I drove over to meet Raphi Sirtoli and Eduoard Soutzo, inventors of the just-released Nutrita webapp called Nutrita Pro. This bad boy will allow you to scan most food products with your phone - and immediately see if they are good for your health. The guys will be incorporating the all-powerful CAC Score into their system over time, which certainly got my attention! Something went wrong with Eduoard's autofocus so the visuals are impacted - but what the hell, maybe it hides our subtle imperfections! So access the power of the Nutrita app and start getting your nutrition in order ;-)   Nutrita
