Feb 19, 2026
A deep dive into a seven-step plan to stabilize and reverse dangerous soft plaque. Discussion of metabolic disease as the main driver and why blood sugar control, HIIT, and resistance training matter. Comparison of soft versus calcified plaque and how imaging plus AI can improve monitoring. Practical talk on selective low-dose meds, supplements, bleeding risks, and testing options like CIMT and CTA.

Episode notes
Measure Glucose And Prioritize Intense Exercise
- Track blood glucose with CGM and avoid spending time over 140 mg/dL to reduce plaque formation.
- Add resistance training and HIIT to build metabolically active muscle and improve metabolic health.
Use Evidence-Based Supplements As Adjuncts
- Use targeted supplements like berberine, omega-3s, vitamin K2, vitamin D3, niacin, magnesium, and CoQ10 as adjuncts to lifestyle.
- Studies show berberine and omega-3s can produce measurable plaque regression over months.
If Plaque Exists, Use Low-Dose Targeted Meds
- Consider low-dose, intermittent medications when plaque is present: low-dose statin, low-dose aspirin, and low-dose metformin.
- Use much lower doses/frequencies than typical: e.g., rosuvastatin 5 mg two–three times weekly, aspirin 81 mg if plaque, metformin 500 mg a few times weekly.
