Okay the Daily Bites serializing the podcasts wasn’t massively popular – the suggestion was to instead release pearls randomly from all of the experts. So here we go – first up some great inputs on thyroid testing, from none other than Ted Naiman MD 🙂

Caught up with the compelling Robert Cywes MD in Seattle a while back - what followed was a vibrant discussion on how food addiction (especially carbohydrates in processed food) - can cut us off at the knees. Our obesity and chronic disease epidemic isn't an accident. There are causes, and they entrap people in a desperate spiral. Here Robert explains the how and the why behind the enslaving of the modern population. And he goes through the top tips to get out of this prison! As always, go to IHDA.ie for the up-to-date information on identifying true heart attack risk.

John Schoonbee, MD of Swiss Re is Chief Medical Officer for the Life and Health Division of Swiss Re, the world's largest Re-Insurer.  Re-Insurers "underwrite" big risks for the countless insurance companies around the world - so they have to know what they're doing!   Which brings us to Coronary Calcification and the CAC Score - which will become the new standard for identifying heart disease risk in high-value clients (as the stress test etc. have been shown to be very inadequate for the purpose.)
