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?"

Daily Bites Ted Naiman MD: What are the best Blood Tests for Health?
Please help us to deliver these free podcasts by subscribing (for free of course) at https://thefatemperor.com/subscribe/
Another Daily Bite - this one with the inimitable Ted Naiman MD. 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!

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 :-)

Ep44 Meat and Climate Change and Human Health - What is the Story

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.

Ep43 from Monaco - How do you ensure a Nutrient-Dense Diet? Nutrita can help!
Before enjoying this podcast, please help by subscribing for free here: https://thefatemperor.com/subscribe/ and help us to get the message out; it only takes a second - thank you!
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

Welcome to Episode 42, featuring a compelling #Irish guest! Cian Foley has learned first hand that nutrition is crucial in maintaining health and vitality. He has specifically realized that many of us have been unconsciously "eating for winter" - which is a VERY bad idea. His discoveries led to him writing the book "Don't Eat for Winter" - a fascinating account of his journey, and full of advice on how to optimize both your nutrition and your health!

Podcast 41 Low Inflammation, High Healthy Fat Living - the Way to Go
Great conversation recently with Nick Paterson of https://lihfliving.com/ - "Low Inflammation, High Fat Living".
Not everyone will like one of the core points made - that some people may have significant issues with eating dairy...! But we must always openly discuss what may affect some people who are sensitive to certain foods - because they are the ones who will suffer, not everyone else...
