    We just learned that @calleymeans has advised 2 of the 3 candidates for President regarding chronic disease and the role our food environment plays. One candidate was not interested in that discussion.

    I don't tell patients they need to have heart surgery. Even if 100 out of 100 doctors agree that a patient would benefit from surgery, ultimately it's the patient's decision.

    I’m a heart surgeon. I’ll be the first to tell you—to beg you—to do whatever it takes to never, ever need me. Please stay off my operating table. Fix your metabolic health.

    50 years old. 7 years carnivore. My blood vessels look pristine. Red meat is not bad for your health.

    I no longer accept the paradigm that high LDL cholesterol is the cause of heart disease

    Meat is not damaging to the heart. Sugar, processed food and seed oils are the problem.

    If you see me skipping in the hospital hallways on my way to the OR today, you know why.

    Sugar is the problem. Meat is the solution.

    For decades, we’ve been told cholesterol is the villain. Lower it. Take statins. Eat “cholesterol-free” foods. But what if low cholesterol is part of the problem? Your brain needs cholesterol. It repairs cells, protects neurons, and supports memory. Slash it too

    They told us in medical school that cholesterol causes heart attacks. 3,000 surgeries taught me that it is just not that simple. Reply "Yes" and I'll send you the 5 things I wish knew earlier about cholesterol.
