  He doesn’t try to sell you anything. Just good free medical knowledge and advice.

  This man saved my life. &nbsp;It didn&apos;t cost me anything. &nbsp;I just watched him on YouTube and followed his advice. &nbsp;I lost 150 lbs and cured my prediabetes, sleep apnea, and chronic leg swelling. &nbsp;I did all this in a year and a half beginning when I was 61. &nbsp;❤🧡💛💚💙💜

  “Now what’s even better than 36 hours, it’s 48, and what’s better than 48, 72.” I hear this as I approach the 36 hour mark. 😅

  I could listen to Dr. Jamnadas all day. Learned more here than working in cardiology for 5 years.

  what a god send of a doctor! i started off <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCOSeZIQFrI&amp;t=736">12:16</a> then 18:6 and just completed my 72 hour fast. I feel absolutely great never felt better.. i will continue with 18:6 as i’ve got hashimotos disease so cannot stress the body as much.. i initially wanted to do 24 hrs then just went with the flow and completed 72 hours! so proud of myself

  Dr Jamnadas is the best! I’m lucky enough to be his patient, lost 70lbs, off all 3 blood pressure meds and statin. Insulin use down 80% and the journey continues 👍 his program works

  1. The True Cause of Heart Disease: Inflammation<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Heart disease is a modern, industrialized condition driven by chronic inflammation.<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Plaque buildup in arteries isn’t the main problem—plaque rupture (causing blood clots) is what leads to heart attacks.<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Inflammation stems from:<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Insulin resistance (high blood sugar/insulin)<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Damaged LDL (small, dense LDL)<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Leaky gut (endotoxemia/LPS)<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Calcium supplements (increase heart attack risk by 20%)<br><br>2. How Plaque Forms in Arteries<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Glycocalyx damage (protective lining of blood vessels) → exposes endothelium.<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Small, dense LDL (oxidized/glycated) gets trapped in artery walls → triggers immune response (foam cells, inflammation).<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Plaque rupture → blood clot → heart attack.<br><br>3. What Causes Small, Dense LDL?<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp;High blood sugar/insulin resistance (glycates LDL).<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Omega-6 seed oils (oxidize LDL).<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) from burnt/processed foods.<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Leaky gut (LPS endotoxins) bind to LDL, making it inflammatory.<br><br>4. Leaky Gut &amp; Heart Disease<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Gut bacteria imbalance → intestinal permeability → toxins (LPS) enter bloodstream → systemic inflammation.<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Leaky gut leads to:<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Fatty liver<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Insulin resistance<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Brain fog, anxiety, depression (via vagus nerve)<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Joint pain, skin issues<br><br>5. Calcium Supplements &amp; K2 Deficiency<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Calcium supplements increase heart attack risk (promote clotting).<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Vitamin K2 deficiency (from low-fat diets) prevents calcium from going to bones → instead, it deposits in arteries.<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Solution: Stop calcium supplements, take K2 + D3, do weight-bearing exercise.<br><br>6. Fasting: The Ultimate Anti-Inflammatory Tool<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Fasting fixes:<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Insulin resistance<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Leaky gut<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Mitochondrial dysfunction<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Toxin buildup<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Gut microbiome reset<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Best fasting protocols:<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;36-hour fast (minimum for ketosis &amp; autophagy).<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;48-72 hours (deeper healing, stem cell activation).<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Extended fasting (under supervision): Dr. J’s patient fasted 183 days, reversed diabetes, lost 240 lbs.<br><br>7. How to Start Fasting<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Beginner: Skip 1 meal/day → 16:8 fasting → OMAD (one meal a day).<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Advanced: 36-72 hour fasts (electrolytes, water, black coffee/tea).<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Avoid &quot;keto flu&quot; by easing into fasting gradually.<br><br>8. Vagus Nerve Hacks (Reduce Stress, Lower Inflammation)<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Stimulate vagus nerve to switch from &quot;fight-or-flight&quot; (sympathetic) to &quot;rest-and-digest&quot; (parasympathetic).<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Hacks:<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Eye massages (gentle pressure).<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Looking left-to-right (eye movements).<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Ice pack on neck (5 min).<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Humming/singing (vibrations stimulate vagus).<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Laughing (massages gut nerves).<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Deep breathing (4-sec inhale, 8-sec exhale).<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Intense exercise (sprints, cold exposure).<br><br>9. Best Foods for Heart Health<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Red meat (nutrient-dense, best source of bioavailable nutrients).<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Grass-fed meat &gt; grain-fed (higher omega-3s, fewer omega-6s).<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Cruciferous veggies (anti-inflammatory, fiber for gut bacteria).<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Spices (turmeric, cilantro, garlic—detox, anti-inflammatory).<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Avoid:<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Processed foods (no fiber, preservatives).<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Seed oils (inflammatory omega-6).<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Excess fruit (fructose → fatty liver).<br><br>10. Soft vs. Hard Plaque<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Soft plaque (dangerous): More likely to rupture → heart attack.<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Hard plaque (stable): Less risky but indicates inflammation.<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Tests:<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;CAC scan (calcium score = hard plaque).<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;CT angiogram (shows soft plaque).<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Solution: Reduce inflammation → soft plaque stabilizes/regresses.<br><br>Final Takeaways<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Heart disease is reversible by fixing inflammation (diet, fasting, vagus nerve).<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Fasting is the most powerful tool (start slow, build up).<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Eat real food (meat, veggies, spices), avoid processed junk.<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;Hack your vagus nerve to reduce stress &amp; improve heart health.<br><br>For more, check out Dr. Jamnadas’ YouTube channel (Cardiovascular Interventions) and his clinic (Aristotle Education).

  My moms doctor prescribed calcium supplements even though she had no signs of osteoporosis. I showed her a few of these YouTube vids indicating the dangers of calcium supplements and thankfully she listened!
