In this episode of Wellness Connection MD, Dr. McMinn and Coach Lindsay discuss a functional (root cause) approach to cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death worldwide for both men and women. Your chances of dying from this disease are greater than for any other cause. You’ll find the information that you need in this podcast to improve your odds of suffering with, and dying from heart disease.
This episode starts by defining exactly what is meant by the term “cardiovascular disease,” and discussing the various disorders affecting the heart and blood vessels, including coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, stroke, heart failure, arrhythmias, and peripheral arterial disease, among others.
Then Dr. McMinn and Lindsay break down the various cardiovascular risk factors, both modifiable and non-modifiable, and they present evidence-based practical solutions, both from the functional and integrative perspective, as well as conventional approaches for prevention and treatment, with an emphasis on personalized strategies.
The key takeaway is that understanding and addressing modifiable risk factors is crucial for both prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease.
The episode also refers to many additional resources available at McMinnMD.com, including “The Daggers of Cardiovascular Disease,” a summary of metabolic syndrome, integrative therapies for high blood pressure, sleep therapy options, Dr. McMinn’s stress toolbox and strass plan, a document about natural ways to balance lipids, information about smoking cessation, and Dr. McMinn’s cardiovascular wellness plans.
