As a medical professional, please listen to this man. He is correct.

I asked my cardiologist for the CIMT and he refused. I asked if he had heard of Dr Brewer and he said "You can find all kinds of things on the 'interweb'". I asked if lifestyle would be better than drugs, he said no. I told him about my understanding of cardiac and metabolic health and he said "You're so close to being right!" but didn't elaborate as to where I was right and where wrong. I should say I did all this with my Ex-cardiologist...

I am a surgeon and your story is exactly mine

😊Years ago, before I was diagnosed with CVD, when I went for a walk I made sure I took my wallet with me so that if someone found me face down on the side of the trail they would know who I was and they could let my wife know as soon as possible. I knew something was not right. After 5 years of a very low carb diet and increased exercise, I no longer worry that I’m going to drop dead when I’m out for a walk. For me, that’s a victory.

Had a heart attack on a bike ride. Heart did not beat for 21 minutes…friends saved me with cpr/ firefighters arrived and took over… still no pulse….heart started at 21 min…. Unconscious for 2 days…memory erased for 8.5 days back…few days forward….no damage to heart…6 years in at this point….exercising normally….no meds….

My doctor yelled at me for not taking another Radioactive Ink Stress Test, so I fired him. He and another Doctor were trying to get me to run and take Radioactive Injections three times in just over two Years (27 months). Three times in 27 months is doing damage to organs. It destroys your organs and if you have a blowout in your arm, it's even worst. The second test they removed my IV and gave me a blowout in my right elbow. What strange is my problem was a duodenal ulcer and irritated digestive tract. Yet he kept trying to test my arteries. I believe I saved my life by leaving that doctors failed attempts are health care. He was more causing Heath Scare. It felt like they were trying to kill me. So, I just started studying and altering my diet to get my ulcer and my colon to behave. Within one (1) Year I was off all five medications he had me on. Within one year I dropped from 283 pounds to under 199 pounds. I went from a 48" waist to a 34"-36" waist.

Dr. Brewer -I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you sharing your story. I’m 57 years old now - retired from the USAF as a Col two years ago after 28 years of service. I’m 6’2” and was 175 lbs when I retired. I worked out everyday of those 28 years to maintain my fitness and keep the belly flat. That also meant a low fat diet for many of those years. This year I had some chest pains, so my Doc sent me for CAC and echo. The echo turned out pretty good. All green - no yellow red codes. And the cardiologist assessed the chest pain as musculoskeletal from a weightlifting injury. However, my CAC score was 460. It was a shock. I thought I was in excellent health. That was in April and about the time I found you on KZfaq. I’ve been on a keto diet since then and now weigh 150 Ibs. I feel great. I also walk after every meal. I’m averaging about 5 miles a day, but will add HIIT. And thanks for the supplement list! I’m already on nattokinase capsules and vitamin K2 mk7, but will include your list. Thank you so much for giving this old Airman hope! God bless you!

Hi Doc. we're the same age. I've been carnivore for 1 year now. Lost 50 lbs, feel great. I had my first CAC test ever 2 months ago. Total score 110. LADA = 90, not terribly concentrated. 75th percentile. Never heard of CIMT until now. Thank you. My metabolic markers are perfect, so not worried. Carnivore for life here.

1. Cimt test measures plaque not blood flow 2. 1.209/1.205 Should be less that 1mm 3. Oral glucose tokerance test. 4. Low carb instead of low fat 5. Avoid processed carbs and grains 6. Niacin Vit d3 5000 k2 400 Magnesium Natto

No sugar no dairy no gluten. 1 year lost 53 lbs 22.3 % of my wgt gone. Amazing bloodwork too and im a senior no added exercise just active

I too bought the low-fat diet myth, and had 3 heart attacks, significant joint swelling and brain fog. Keto and carnivore for about 1.5 years and I feel 25 years younger. And I am still angry about all of the intentionally misleading information.

I'll keep saying this about Dr. Brewer. He is the number expert and resource on KZfaq. I have asked Dr. Brewer to do these personalized videos more than any other means because they're powerful. He doesn't need anyone else to speak with or for him. He is humble, qualified and shares on a human level we can all understand. He shines like no other blocking and blacking everything out while he bares his soul on the topic of heart disease intervention. He's at his best in this video no doubt about it. May the good Lord keep him and protect him.

I am also 57 and have seen the same results with a low carb diet and resistance training. I've never seen my bloodwork improve so significantly. Thank you!

My mom is 97 years old her thing is moderation of everything you do don’t stress your body.Stay away from alcohol tobacco drugs of any kind she has a cholesterol count well above 300 and has all her life refused statins.Had cervical cancer and surgery hysterectomy but did no chemo or steroids 30 years ago.Very discipline diet eat the same thing every day walk or do housework but use to do moderate exercise till she was in her 80s.Genetics are the key her mom lived to 96 and grand parents 106 that’s who she learned the moderation of life

The main thing you give us Dr Ford is hope

Dr. Brewer, You have changed my mind in three important areas: (1) I realize that due to a fear of a heart attack, I have cut back too much on HIIT by only going walking, (2) My mind was too closed to taking statins, even at low doses & (3) I need to cut back on carbs even more. As a professor, I truly appreciate your cadence, the visual aids that you used, & your ability to connect to your audience by sharing your personal journey. Well done!

Yo, I had a patient who had previously had imagining done in the hospital with findings she had some plaque buildup. Since then her husband had passed, and moved in with her children for the past 2 years. The kids cut the sugar out of her diet, and cleaned it up a bit. Nothing crazy, just omnivore without the junk. Anyway, just got more arterial imaging while in the hospital and all the plaque was gone. Clean as a whistle. Cardiologist couldn’t believe it! Flabbergasted!

Such a great video. Straight and direct. The adverts about what a healthy life style is are killing us. Thanks for the job your doing.

I am very glad to see you mention metabolic disease being a primary underlying cause. It is frustrating that I know more about it than most doctors. This isn't boasting. I WANT my doctors to know more than me about it. They SHOULD be the experts. But most are not. Comparatively, I am the expert just from the reading I have done, like The Obesity Code and Metabolical. Seriously, I don't want to he the expert. So I only go to the doctor for injuries like when I face planted on an electric adult scooter. And I go to them for the tests I require to make sure I am keeping my metabolic system healthy. Otherwise than that, I run my own health management (low carb, low seed oils, whole/real foods and skipping breakfast to help reduce insulin levels to keep my insilin resistance in check. I have dropped weight, dropped out of prediabetic state, reduced the body pain from all of that inflammation, reduced my four severe illnesses supposedly fron "lung infections from seasonal allergies," stopped having severe asthmatic reactions just mowing or god help me, trying to run. All because I did NOT fillow doctors orders. I am not anti doctor, but I am pro-me. And if they aren't going to help me heal and get healthy at 53 years old, I guess I will do it myself. Thanks for this video! It gives me hope!

I started watching this video thinking The information might be cuckoo, but upon seeing the entire presentation, I am very impressed, and kudos to the doc for sharing his personal story.

That's one-off best video I watched on the topic.

So much is genetic. Both my grandmothers smoked cigarettes half their lives, ate carbs and never did cardio, and both lived to 100 and 101 respectively. Neither developed dementia.

Hi Dr. Brewer & tea, thank you for making this updated video. I had my 3rd cIMT in May '24, still improving, but in comparing myself to you, I've just decided to tighten my carbs again a few notches. From my 1st scan in '22, my arterial age has dropped from 74 to 63, as I turn 69 next week. Appreciate your work

Excellent video, Dr. Brewer. Thank you for all that you do to educate and save lives.

One of the best videos on the topic- so clear and easy to understand :)

Really enjoyed this video Ford. Keep up the great work!👍👍👍

Youve cettainly helped me personally with this video. Thanks for your clear specificity and directness.

Just saw an old friend who just retired at 62. He was a roofer. Up and down ladders all day carrying heavy bundles of shingles. He told me his doctor said he was in great shape.

I’ll sum this video up in one word. EXCELLENT!

Happy Birthday Dr. Brewer! 🎉

Dr. Brewer you are the man! If, after listening to this clear and concise video people do not understand how to get healthy you ( Dr. Brewer) can rest easy it’s not your fault.

Great presentation Dr. Brewer!

Priceless information. Thank you

Very detailed and transparent. Thank you

Priceless information. Thank you.

Great video and very relevant for me - thanks for being so self disclosing. Very helpful!!

Thanks for saving lives.

Best video I have watched amongst all the videos I have watched before on this subject. I thought I knew it all after lots of researching, reading, listening and watching all sorts on this topic but this one really blew me away. Thank you very much, Dr Brewer

This has to be one of your best ever videos...😉

Great video. Thanks for sharing your story!

Really appreciate your videos like this... you talking about what really matters.

Thank you Dr Brewer, That was very honest and highly educational.

This was an important video for me. Thank you Dr. Ford.

Thank you for the hope, and for the means to reach for it.

This was outstanding. Thank you!!!

Wow! This video is a must-see! Going to watch it again with family. Thank you!

Thank you dr. Brewer for the life saving topic you discuss. God bless you always. Yes to longevity.

Dr Brewer thanks for sharing all this experiences in great detail. I always said, the best Doc is the 1 that walks the talk all the way. Meaning, you share your lows, the moments of truth confronting your own realility. Thats "gold" right there. No drama, you are a very estoic man. But your human side, your strugle and fears are there. No Doctor does that. Then you show what you did, how you did it with logic. Showing your own bio markers. Your honesty is Gold. Dont despair to criticism, they are not listening full well. You make a huge impact doing what revolutionizes medicine. You make something unbelievable out of your retirement and I Thank You.

Thank you. I needed to hear your personal journey.

So much valuable information about a very important health topic. Thank you Dr. Brewer

Thank you very much, Dr. Brewer! One of your best videos. I truly admire your honesty. You are a scholar!

Great video Dr. So glad im learning this stuff in my early 40s.

Nicely done Dr Brewer, it wasn’t too tedious, it too technical - at all ( good editing)

Thank you for all you do Dr Brewer!!!

Thank you for sharing your life changing story and your wisdom.

thank you dr brewer, i have the utmost respect for your advice and videos

Thanks again, Dr. Ford Brewer! Wish I could meet you in person to say hi.

This video is extremely timely for me; thank you so much for making it! I have spent the last five months trying to figure out (1) why I have such a high ferritin level (mysterious inflammation), then (2) got a calcium score of nearly 1600, then referred to cardiologist for (3) echo and exercise stress echocardiograms, and (4) angiogram. I started on low carb in mid-April, right after getting the calcium scan, so I am in the middle of figuring this out and dealing with it. Yes, I am also prediabetic, and about your age (just turned 69). I have been a long distance runner since age 13 and a vegetarian (pescatarian) since age 40, so like you, I thought I was healthy--low weight, high exercise, no smoking, not particularly sedentary, etc. Found out I've been lied to about the benefits of low fat diets all these years when the real culprits are sugar and excess carbs. This video gives me a lot of hope than I can shrink and eliminate soft plaque and live with the hardened plaque. Monday I will schedule a CIMT!

Without doubt the most interesting and informative presentation that I have heard for quite some time; thank you.

Great video! Thanks for your honesty. I have started 5 mg day of a statin because I have high Apo B. My last A1C was 5.8 which I know is too high - I also have PCOS. I realize that diet and exercise are the most impactful and I have already lost 15 lbs since March with walking, low(er) carb and time restricted eating. (I am 55 and post menopausal). You have inspired me to buckle down even more. I am working toward losing another 20lbs and dramatically improving my blood work in September. Thanks again!

Awesome video Dr B!

WOW THE BEST ONE EVER AND VERY INFORMATIVE!!!

Wow, this is REALLY IMPORTANT INFO . . . thank YOU!!!

I am 80yrs and still living well. All things in moderation, that includes food.

Thank you for educating us.

Great video! thanks Doctor Brewer

I had a stroke in september, I've chosen the healthy route. My labs are very similar to yours after a year. I think looking at your story just helps me to know I've gone the right route. My doctor who was against my choices now says, people talk big talk but it's rare to see them step up and do it. I'm getting better.

One of your best videos

Excellent Dr Brewer~

Excellent information. Thank you

What an awesome video. Thanks for your sharing your wisdom and knowledge👍

Great information, thank you!

Thanks for this video. It gives more reason to why people need to take charge of thier health.

You are my new hero.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU ARE SHARING AND REVEALING. BLESSINGS AND KEEP SHINING WITH THE RADIANCE OF YOU AND DIVINE LOVE 🌅

Great stuff, thank you!

Great vid ...I have gone low carb NO sugar for past 9 months with very good results ... I survived a 99% block on the LAD 5+ years ago. Stented. So I know I have plague etc. We need more discussions on preventing another heart event for those who KNOW we have CAD.

What an awesome video, Doc. 🥰

Good timing on this video. I am 46 male and a year ago I had a cardiac scare, random episodes of sinus tachycardia. I have always had bradycardia so this was quite a surprise. Of course I had multiple tests following that and one CAT scan to check for an embolism noticed what they called at the time minimal calcification. I have always had very low HDL and high LDL. My last years prior to this event my triglycerides were extremely high. While historically I have felt that I had better eating habits than most people there was definitely plenty of room for improvement. Following this health scare a year ago I tightened up my diet increased my exercise and I ended up lost weight. I am 5 foot nine and at the time of the scare I weighed about 175. Now I weigh about 153. My most recent labs have shown my HDL cholesterol has risen to 56 and a year ago it was 20. my LDL is 126 at my last test which is lower than it historically has been. I do have data going back well over 20 years for fasting glucose which is always right around 90. And that’s true now. I don’t really know if that is prediabetes range or not. my cardiologist has told me I have nothing to worry about and I did not need to visit him anymore. At that time I requested a calcium score test which came back showing a total of 138. They said this is 90th percentile for my age. Like you, this was a bit of a shock and unexpected result. I also requested an apob test which was 85. Since then I have been watching videos like this one and trying to educate myself. My cardiologists only advice following the calcium score test was to go on a statin. He prescribed a low-dose of 10 mg once a day. Currently I am waiting for an a visit with a functional cardiologist to get a second opinion on what I should be doing. I have not yet made the decision on the statin. But I exercise five or six days a week including lots of cardio. My diet is very clean except I do allow myself a much longer leash on Saturdays. I am curious about your diet, I do eat some whole grains like steel cut oats a few times a week. I wonder if I should cut those out or not. I do eat lots of fruit and vegetables very very little red meat, lots of fish. For dairy fat-free yogurt unsweetened and low-fat milk a little bit per week. Supplements I do take D3 and K2, Magnesium glycinate, NAC, alpha lipoic acid and I’ve always taken fish oil supplements but with the recent evidence on that potentially causing a fib I am going to stop taking that. Any thoughts on my case or my self-care would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for this informative presentation.

Thanks for insights, and experience.

Thanks Doc, more good info, Love your work.

Thank you for another excellent video. Much appreciated 😊

Just found your channel. Great information, and clearly coming from a very experienced perspective. Thank you for sharing it!

Really enjoyed this video. You are my husband’s age. Wish I could show him this journey of yours. 👏🇦🇺

Thank you! I'm always interested in better health, the smart way.

Hi. Thanks so much. I'm 65 and had a minor stroke 6 weeks ago ( eye ) and it's shaken me. I'm doing most of what you are recommending. On a new path. Thanks again

FANTASTIC information Doc. And no shame in your minds reaction to your test results. I got similar (Upsetting) results and I'm in a frozen mode. Don't want any medicine & some depression from the news. I'm 10 years your junior but feel like 20 still. You've just given me a push and PRICELESS information to get moving & help myself. ❤❤❤Thank you Doc. 🙏 P.S. YOU'LL NEVER RETIRE! LOL. 👍

Great information. The truth is a refreshing change.

Respect for what you are doing. Thank you for sharing and debunking the Death Care system.

Thanks for sharing, Dr. B!

This is far and away the best video I have found on plaque.

That's some great grist for discussion points with my Dr at my next service interval. I'm 63 and have taken on the renovation of my meat sack as a project. It's a trip man. Loving it.

Thank you for this valuable information.

Yes. Best video yet and actually you description of your statin experience helps others who also take as a lifestyle addition Jeff in the UK

Doc , Really great video . Your advice saves people’s lives … if they listen . 😮 Thank you

Thank You, Sir. There's nothing like an excellent lifetime adventure that ends well. I'm happy that you've shared your results. Perhaps you've helped many to adopt a healthy lifestyle.

I love this format of videos by you. I am not a fan of the older zoom format. Thank you for sharing your insights , doctor.

Thank you very much, this was a very helpful an informative video an I am very grateful for your time, IAM a sheep farmer, 83 yo take no medication whatsoever, an intend to live as long as I can. Much appreciate your help to achieve this. ❤, M

Awesome job, Dr Brewer! Thanks for the info! I was staying in ketosis, but I've been too lenient, lately.
