INSIGHT

Heart Built To Last A Century

  • The human heart is designed to last 100+ years if given proper care.
  • Dr. Jack Wolfson argues chronic cardiovascular disease is largely preventable with the right inputs.
ADVICE

Prioritize Testing Over Guesswork

  • Test, don't guess: measure inflammation and oxidative stress, not just total cholesterol.
  • If lipids look abnormal, investigate the inflammation causes rather than only lowering numbers with drugs.
ADVICE

Don't Mask Blood Pressure With Drugs

  • Find and fix the root causes of high blood pressure instead of masking it with drugs.
  • Recognize that pharma-lowered numbers do not equal restored longevity or reduced underlying risk.
