Oh I'm sure he likes $$ too! He paid dearly to go to school He's just smart and has a great heart and spirit, and the personality to put up with people?
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does someone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I would love any assistance you can give me!
Dr. Gupta is a treasure. He has such an ability to speak at a level for none medical people to understand. Please never stop your videos because you are helping your fellow man. I for one so appreciate you.
Sanjay, you are spot on. Ever since I started being more mindful, happy, present, eliminated alcohol completely from my life, eating whole foods, taking fish oils, magnesium, sleeping better, all of my health issues resolved. I now know why. I reduced the inflammation.
There are three things that I've learned you should never allow to get out of control: 1)inflammation 2)insulin resistance and 3) oxidative stress. I'm sure there is more but if you can keep those three in check, along with maintaining a good immune system, you'll save yourself from a lot of medical headaches in your life.
@@jacquidan01 A quick google search will give you a list of signs of oxidative stress. Here is a list I found: -Fatigue -Memory loss and/or brain fog -Muscle and/or joint pain -Wrinkles and grey hair -Decreased eye sight -Headaches and sensitivity to noise -Susceptibility to infections
@@jacquidan01 YOu should ask your doctor. He/she can guide you in the right direction OR, you should consult with a naturopath. On your next doctor visit, ask for a fasting insulin test, something they usually don't order unless you ask for it. They may tell you that the A1c is enough, but that is not true. You can have a normal sugar count and still have insulin levels out of the normal levels and that is VERY DANGEROUS if it doesn't get addressed soon. Ask for the insulin fasting test or demand it! Don't take no for an answer. if your doctor refuses to do it, find another one or pay for it out of pocket because it is VERY IMPORTANT. If your fasting insulin levels are out of range, then you need to ask your doctor for help in fixing that. If you read between the lines of what I'm advising you here, you'll notice that I'm helping you to push your doctor to get TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM, instead of allowing him/her to prescribe medication to treat something for life, instead of curing it. Does that make sense?
It is refreshing to. See a young doctor with sincerity and honesty really caring for humanity, unlike doctors that look @ $ signs and do u necessay procedures. Be responsible with your health eat right foods, small portions, avoid a sedentary life you will be surprised by your choices
Its wholistic. But if you have stress and eat the right diet, heart disease will plummet. Sadly people have no idea how high their blood lipids are, it builds over decades until the damage is irreversible.
Not only explained in simple terms, but it's a pleasure to hear a voice that is clear, well paced and proper English! Too many people talk poorly these days and don't take a pride in their speech. PS I love all the analogies too!
Diagnosed with muscle damage due to a statin prescribed for slightly elevated cholestrol. The side effects from the statin were far far worse than the risk that the original problem posed for me. Thanks for your videos Dr gupta - I wish there were more doctors like you.
I am not a cardiologist but I am an anesthetist and physiologist. And I agree with everything you say. I was trying to think of a way to explain this and I have to say your nonstick pan is a perfect explanation. I’m going to start Using this analogy. But don’t worry I will give you the credit ha ha
@@halimahabduljabbar5162 Odds are, there are lifestyle changes you can make to improve your cholesterol numbers. That’s true because, more often than not, unhealthy behaviors are the main culprits behind high cholesterol. Your body naturally produces all the LDL (bad) cholesterol it needs. An unhealthy lifestyle - not enough exercise, too many unhealthy foods - makes your body produce more LDL cholesterol than it needs. This is the cause of high LDL cholesterol for most people. Behaviors that can negatively affect your cholesterol levels include: Unhealthy diet Lack of physical activity Smoking or exposure to tobacco smoke Excess weight Stopping or reversing these unhealthy lifestyle factors can help improve your cholesterol numbers. but don't panic, I already have a solution, For more information, click here tinyurl.com/y2qq3t6c >
I quit coffee 7 months ago and feel so much better. I sleep better and wake up early and have lots of energy 😊. I'm not so stressed now because i don't have caffeine in my body😊. Thank you doctor Gupta for your videos. I always share them on my Facebook account 😊
Thank you for this excellent explanation. It is refreshing to hear a medical person who is unafraid to go against “conventional wisdom” and speak the truth!
My HDL and LDL is a little bit higher then normal when I had my hear attack. What I had for 30 years is Insomnia, Depression, Eating dissorder and cronicel pain ( inflammation) I allways had the feeling it was the stress from all this making my heart attack. Thank you for this information
Dear Dr Gupta, Interesting talk never cease to rise the awareness to negate the effects of cholesterol. Being a retired medic, routine cardiac investigation showed the changes only to have stent in the widow maker artery. Although kept up with good health prior to only forcing me to study, learn nutrition experimenting on myself a triad of losing weight, nutritious diet and exercise. My blood pressure came down dramatically, all the blood results are bang normal. Blockages in the artery made me more resolute to address the issue without a fear which most patients do. I did relocate to India soon after retirement. I am on plant based diet. My balanced food of dietary fibre, antioxidants and anti inflammatory nutrients come from the home cooked meal. In a month I get through chia seeds, basil seeds, millets, legumes, beans, fruits, vegetables, spinach both green and red, balsamic vinegar. I call this biotuning over a period of nine months. I don’t have question. I only have solution to avoid processed and ultra processed food. Kitchen gender free, if we don’t spend quality time in the kitchen with fresh produce only to end up spending part of life in the hospital. Bas.
I’m a pharmacist and I give lectures to cardiac rehab patients about their medications. This is is very good analogy. I hope that I can continue to hear these kinds of informations. Thank you.
Doctor Sahib, you describe the complex processes in simplified way with concrete examples, this proves that you're a practitioner as well as an effective teacher.
Dr Gupta, you are Awesome 👏🏽. Thank you, Thank you for giving us the knowledge,sharing is caring! We need Doctors like you, very easy to understand. God bless 🙏🏽
Thank you so much , Dr Gupta for this very clear explanation. All doctors and in particular cardiologists need to watch this video so as to be able to explain the process of plaque build up to their patients. I love it that you actually used a frying pan to facilitate your explanation!
The amount of cholesterol you eat, ironically has no effect on preventing heart disease. Zero Heart attacks sky rocketed when they started homogenizing milk and stopped feeding cows grass. Grass creates k2 in milk. It's why I drink organic milk. However, organic milk only is 30% grass fed. back in the day it was 100% grass fed. Homogenized milk Scratches the artery walls and creates lesions. Cholesterol is the scar tissue that repairs these lesions. Constant repair makes these plaques thicker and thicker until it causes a heart attack. Doctors will Say Sticky cholesterol that, and good cholesterol this and bad cholesterol , whatever, But it's the scientist that say k2 cures heart disease. The doctors are the ones who are taught by reading what the scientist say. But the Corporation dictates what information the scientist can provide to the Doctors, The cardiologist of the world, today are forced by the corporation to follow to listen to what man said in 1951 Paul Dudley .The man was a fraud who worked for the corporation. Go figure
Thank you so much best explanation I have ever heard about this topic. I have studied and been in health industry over 20 years plus school and this was excellant. Texted this video to many people.
i can't get enough of your outstanding information videos, you would be saving so many lives , remember this , don't let the ones that got away get you down, but rather be happy knowing not all got away, in example, you might lose some but save so many, its the fact that you tried that makes you great and you should be proud, we are all proud of you and your works, kind regards 😊
+York Cardiology any time Dr.gupta, you are a success in yourself, i hope you have a very happy life, and remember , don't lost in a loss, but rather find your self always in those you have and continue to save 😊😊 congratulations), you are a remarkable human being
also I might add been pre-diabetic . insuline resistance, nitric oxide depletion .....but the most important is Lipoprotein(a) which is the carrier of cholesterol into the endothelial walls. great explanation thank you
❤ Thank you, Dr Sanjay Gupta ❤ you are much appreciated ❤ plz continue to make more great videos for us, create more awareness about our hearts issues, it helps us understand better and ease our suffering ❤
Your Brilliant explaining things, just been diagnosed with cardiovascular disease at the age of 48 yrs plus my dad suffers to from CAD too. some narrowing and plaque in two of my arteries.. Had an angiogram told I had heart disease sent home, then put on tablets statins, beta blockers and aspirin. Yet I’ve never had a blood test for Cholesteryl So worried because I’m coming to a point I struggle to do simple chores, like going up and down stairs, bedsheets etc.. I’ve learnt so much from your videos and I thank you for that. Your a credit to us all!
This guy is the honest doctor I have ever met. I had a succesfull stent, despite living a healty life, but I dont take statins anymore ever. I have normal levels of LDL, and have tried what depression of the important enzymes Cholesterol and CoQ10, does to your body and your quality of life.
Love the focus on lifestyle and not just pills and symptomatic treatment. The uncertainty caused by modern lifestyles psychologically needs to be focused upon. Economic, social uncertainty have deleterious effects on masses of people.
I think God for you! What I love about your videos is that although you provide great information, you also understand the importance of not highlighting the worst case scenario’s. You understand that people with heart concerns are already stressed and you don’t add to the fear. Thank you so much! I pray that God continues to bless your business, your family and your life.
Dr Sanjay Gupta .. your videos on RU-vid are so brilliant, informative & easy to understand ... you are performing a great service to heart patients... can’t thank you enough 😀👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️
Nice listening to you sanjay , just started a mild dose of ruvasta240tin and finofibrate 5 MG. My total cholesterol is about 300 and ldl is a 240 , my age is 45
Thank you , my cholesterol levels are 324 total . I’m 55 yrs young my blood work came out LDL 224 HDL 75 and triglycerides 200 . Blood pressure 112/74 sugar 99 . My doctor wanted to put me in statin But , I’ve decided to follow Mediterranean diet and see if I see results in my numbers . Love all of your videos thank you so much for educating the public . You’re very generous!!
Do you know what your CRP (C Reactive Protein) level is? It measures how much inflammation you have. Most doctors don't include that in annual physical blood test. But it's really important.
Just found you after a bad test and battling cholesterol with lifestyle changes with some success but still not enough. Thank you so much for your well-being balanced and informative view. Lots of clinicians in the UK could learn much from you including my own!
The whole point of the video is that there are several factors involved in the underlying cause of heart disease - inflammation - and that cholesterol is not one of them.
Cod Liver Oil cleared my heart arteries of build up. I insisted on heart scans because I kept being told I wasn't having a heart attack despite having a lot of trouble getting my breath at times. The first scan showed build up in both arteries. But before I got my next scan which was a couple months later I had started taking Cod Liver Oil. The build up was all gone then. I don't worry about my cholesterol anymore. Great video.
After watching a number of your videos I have a greater understanding of the heart and heart disease. Thank you Sanjay for taking the time in your busy schedule to create these educational videos. I join with the many others to express my gratitude and appreciation. It's apparent that you have genuine concern for the health of your patients and viewers. I haven't been on a healthy path but I am now going do my best to heed your advise. Your videos have been a wake up call for me. Thanks again :)))
I wish Dr. Gupta was my Cardiologist. I wish he was my GP. I may never have needed a Cardiologist. I doubt he's ever had the freedom to fully treat his patients the way he would like, the time, honesty and fast-track solutions! It's all in his head, makes him an exceptional doctor but not utilized. Let him loose! Break free, Sanjay! For us! For yourself!
You are one of the few doctors who recommends the natural approach first before recommending statins. I am one of those who had refused statin for 30 years but I am forced to take 10 mg because of my 1018 calcium score. I am 74 years old. Does a calcium score this high means clogged arteries and at risk of heart attack and stroke? Appreciate your advice. This is the only prescription med I am taking. God bless you and your family. Thank you for helping us all.
Precisely, my questions, Daniel. It would be interesting to know the answers. My guess is that if you can't "heal" the arteries than the best thing is to protect them by diet, exercise, rest and reduce stress and smile! Another great video Dr. Gupta!
This video is very informative. O just had angioplasty etc. Stent in the main artery. My father had the same thing...had several stents put in about 13 yrs ago. We have a family history of producing bad cholesterol. I really appreciate the info.
how kind - Thank you for your support GLoria- it would mean a tonne if you’d consider subscribing to the channel. Also I try and do some regular broadcasts via WhatsApp on +44795131008
when you made this video I did not have heart attack. but had in 2019. i used to smoke till 2017 for nearly 30 years..now given up totally since 5.5 years..but carry a stent in heart..diagonosed with few PVCs during last echo cardio gram..but my cardiologist put me to treadmill test..i did the six minute test well...though felt exhausted at the end of it recovered within two minutes...so my cardiologist has asked me to stop the very meagre quantity of 30 ml of alcohol which i used to consume daily...as such i have been walking and doing yoga well before my heart attack..so all good as of now...staying positive..though have marital issues in life....thanks for the video...I have last 85 ml of brandy left with me..i am taking once a week now till it gets over may be in next two weeks then I will say goodbye to that also..
Thank you for such valuable and balanced information Dr Sanjay Gupta! I am subscribed and share your videos with friends. I hope your Dad is ok. Your helpful videos are much appreciated, but please don't exhaust yourself and lose sleep... You are needed. 💙😃
Awesome video! Thanks! Two questions. 1. If the non stick surface in your arteries gets eroded away, can it ever come back? Can the arteries heal? 2. Is there a way to test for / monitor inflamation in your arteries? Thank for for sharing your knowledge with us. I've learned a great deal watching your videos.
Daniel Mandracken Try looking up on dr ignarro who won a Nobel prize on the effect of nitric oxide and how it help on this matter. Vitamin k2 is another one, yt to be conclusively proven.
@@eugeniebreida1583 I personally find fasting to be the best solution.it not only clears inflammation but help cure my diabetes,lcholestrol and high blood pressure. Fasting over 3 days starts a process of dropping damaged cells n d body produces new cells. Basically rejuvenation. This is the work of dr Suzuki who won a Nobel prize for this discovery.
@@tehchooikuam2878 For those who land in the 'over-fed' pool of mammalians I would imagine this well holds true. However, in those of us who are low-weight, and already needing careful protein and fat inputs in order to stave off diseases of older age/autoimmune conditions NOT resulting from high sugar/high fats (in diet or in blood/tissues), I don't see it as a solution. Losing essential body weight is not a great idea (imo). Tho appreciate Suzuki very much. If you have detailed counter argument which applies, I am happy to hear it.
Hello Doctor Sanjay, your explanation is really nice and I really appreciate it since your example is sooooooooooooo great. Thanks for doing great service!
Thank you so much for such a clearly understandable explanation. There is so much confusion out there, your explanations give me, well they give me hope and clear actionable guidance. Please keep sharing your gift.
Thanks Dr Gupta. I knew cholesterol wasn’t the only reason for heart disease so was hesitant to take statins when prescribed by my cardiologist. Have about 40% artery calcification. After your clearer explanation will start statins
Your very valuable advise has to be put into practice when one is 20 years to prevent erosion or take treatment from the best doctor like you. You have given very good controllable factors.
Thank you for this! I’m in the middle of moving and stress is sky high, so after watching this I’ll be much more conscious and try to keep it under control. Gracias, de Chile
Very good analogy to explain the real problem, inflammation. You mention lifestyle factors, including diet, but is it fair to say that sugars are the primary contributing factor to inflammation, and the main lifestyle change to make?
Thank you. I knew some of this information but refuse to implemented in my life, you can be your own best friend or worst, I think I need to start being my best friend now!
Thank you thank you! You confirmed all of my thoughts and feelings about taking prescriptions so quickly, without trying to figure out the underlying problems and solving the underlying reasons for a particular situation first. I am not a doctor, but I have always thought about all the things that you have discussed in your videos. It all just makes since.
The presentation is excellent. It has been proved that chlolestorol plays an important role in our body, especially aged people need more cholesterol as they grow older. Now it has been proved that statin is very harmful .and has so many side-effects. Your comments please.
I have been learning this recently. LDL cholesterol is necessary. Helps with dementia, whereas statins do the opposite, plus other side effects. I stopped my statins.
Really liked this presentation. Clearly some of the Drs are thinking for themselves against big pharma dogma and seeing that papering over the cracks doesn't really make the underlying issue any better. Rather it just kicks the can down the road a bit and makes some shareholders happy.
Very well explained Dr.Gupta! What still is unclear to me how the model of heart disease you are describing is consitent with people who have genetically elevated LDL. The only have this one risk factor and most severe cases have heart attacks before age 10. So somehow cholesterol has to play a big role in the development of CHD…
It might be because in the genetic disease, ldl is not cleared by the liver efficiently, which means the ldl hang around in the blood longer and can get oxidized. Now the oxidized ldl is very much more damaging: the macrophages vacuum the oxidized ldl up leading to foam cells. Role of oxidized LDL in atherosclerosis, 2015 Conversely if your ldl levels are too high, it’s an indication that the ldl does hang out in the blood too long.
@@Rene-uz3eb ok lets assume you are right (and to a certain degree you are because patients with FH do actually have less LDLR activity). Still those patients have one single risk factor, they are usually not hypertensive, not overweight, children will not consume excessive amounts of saturated fats, do not have Diabetes. Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial disease. But i just dont understand how people can say ldlc is not a culprit is just stunning to me. For me it is absolutely unbelievably how even doctors sometimes argue ldl is not a contributor to CHD. Not everybody who is on statins needs them and many will be better of improving lifestyle. But if those young children dying from heart attack under 10 y/o are not evidence enough than nothing is…
I listened to lipologist Thomas Dayspring on The Proof podcast. He says that the only thing needed for LDL particles to enter the artery wall is an LDL (ApoB is a better measure) level above optimal in your blood. No inflammation or damaged endothelium is needed. Yes the damage accellerates the plack buildup but a main cause of the inflammation is the LDL’s that are already in the artery wall.
This is how plaques form in arteries. Glucose cause infammation and cholesterol is brought to the inflammed part of the artery to repair the damage caused by inflammation. Cholesterol levels is not an issue. Your liver will produce cholesterol if the blood level is low. Recent statistics show that 70 percent of heart attack patients have normal LDL levels. The problem basically is inflammation of endothelium of arteries. Sugar, trans fats, omega-6 cooking oils increase inflammation. Olive oil, and omega-3 fish oils, and magnesium (which is found in cocao) reduce inflammation. Saturated fats increases both HDL and LDL and their effects are at worst neutral.
We are so lucky to have you on he net. Thank you so much for explaining this so fully. . When it comes to nutrition could please tell us what is best for those who have angina.Greetings to you from Sri Lanka..

Thank you so very much for such a perfect analogy, it summed the cholesterol in the arteries ideally. You do an amazing job with your videos Mr Gupta and reach so many as a result. Bless you.
