We cover:

You’ll learn:
We discuss in detail the interventions you can make to lower the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).
We walk through four main drug classes, discussing their mechanism of action, effectiveness, and safety profile.
We discuss:
A concise summary of the vital information covered in my 3-part lipid series with the esteemed Lipidologist, Dr. Thomas Dayspring.
Athenosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. And in the vast majority of cases, it is entirely preventable.
If you’re someone who is focused on living longer, and enjoying more yeans of healthy life, preventing the development of atherosclerosis is critical.
I have full confidence that if you invest your time in reading this material, listen to the lipid series, and take the appropriate steps, you’ll significantly reduce your chances of experiencing a heart attack or stroke.
Remember, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is a completely preventable condition.

Host of The Proof podcast, nutritionist, sports physiotherapist, creator of theproof.com blog and author of The Proof is in the Plants. The Proof is in the Plants is my first book, and it walks through the science of eating for a healthier you and a healthier planet. It contains the agenda-free information that we all need to become more conscious of how our daily food choices affect our body and the world around us.
My philosophy is simple. We live in an environment that makes it incredibly hard to follow an evidence-based dietary pattern, an environment that in many ways sets us up for failure. Rather than waiting for this environment to change, or waiting to experience pain, I want to arm you with evidence-based solutions. This will help you better navigate the world in which we live and improve your chance of living a long, healthy life, allowing you to do more of whatever it is you love to do.
