Story
Dr Aseem Malhotra, a leading NHS cardiologist, has led the way in citing obesity, Type 2 diabetes and heart disease as frequent factors in those hospitalised with coronavirus. He shows how they result from poor metabolic health, including an over-dependence on ultra-processed foods, which seriously affects our immune response. In this life-changing 21-day plan he brings us the good news that we can reverse our health and rapidly improve our resilience to infection and disease through just a few simple lifestyle changes - to our diet, how we exercise, sleep and reduce stress.

Most diet books teach you to set short-term weight loss goals. Whether low-carb or low-fat, the typical plan goes like this: restrict your food choices, exercise until exhaustion, and swallow stacks of supplements. These “solutions” do a better job of lightening your wallet than lightening you. Meanwhile, the healthcare industry fails to prevent chronic disease. Rather than showing people how to remain healthy and prevent illness through proper nutrition, the system offers drugs and surgery to manage symptoms.

The United States spends an excess $1.5 trillion annually on health care compared to other wealthy countries - yet the amount of time that Americans live in good health ranks a lowly 68th in the world. At the heart of the problem is Big Pharma, which funds most clinical trials and therefore controls the research agenda, withholds the real data from those trials as corporate secrets, and shapes most of the information relied upon by health-care professionals. Dr. John Abramson reveals the inside story of how Big Pharma’s relentless pursuit of ever-higher profits corrupts medical knowledge.

Heart disease is the number-one killer. However, traditional heart disease protocols - with their emphasis on lowering cholesterol - have it all wrong. Emerging science is showing that cholesterol levels are a poor predictor of heart disease and that standard prescriptions for lowering it, such as ineffective low-fat/high-carb diets and serious, side-effect-causing statin drugs, obscure the real causes of heart disease. The Great Cholesterol Myth reveals the real culprits of heart disease.

Heart disease is the number-one killer in the world. Despite ever-advancing medical procedures and more powerful pharmaceutical drugs, the rate of heart disease continues to rise. According to Dr. Stephen Hussey, this is due in part to misunderstandings about how the heart really functions and how to keep it healthy. These misunderstandings result in improper medical approaches and off-target intervention therapies.

Based on 20 years of investigative reporting and interviews with 100 practicing physicians who embrace the keto lifetstyle as the best prescription for their patients' health, Taubes' book puts the ketogenic diet movement in the necessary historical and scientific perspective. It makes clear the vital misconceptions in how we've come to think about obesity and diet (no, people do not become fat simply because they eat too much; hormones play the critical role) and uses the collected clinical experience of the medical community to provide essential practical advice.

Almost every day we are bombarded with the seemingly incontrovertible message that we must reduce our consumption of meat and dairy—or eliminate them from our diets altogether. But what if the pervasive message that the plant-based diet will improve our health and save the planet is misleading—or even false? What if removing animal foods from our diet is a serious threat to human health, and a red herring in the fight against climate change.

All can be stoked by high uric acid levels.

Publisher's summary
Statins are among the most widely prescribed drugs in the world. Yet many report unacceptable side effects, and a US survey revealed that 75 per cent of respondents stopped taking them within a year.
So what is the evidence for their benefits? Dr Aseem Malhotra, author of the best-selling The 21-Day Immunity Plan and co-author of the best-selling The Pioppi Diet, examines the claims for statins and their role in lowering cholesterol and preventing heart disease. He introduces us to his targeted heart-health plan, which, with a diet plan, recipes and advice on reducing stress and increasing movement, can help us to live statin-free and take control of our own health.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This is an amazing and thorough book that is succinct and to the point and therefore perfect to give to family and friends who need to have this type of information. I really think it is a must read even for those who do not yet have concerns over heart problems, because it outlines the type of life you need to lead for metabolic health.

It works and is shocking that it’s not standard
I adopted a Low Carb diet after being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol. Statins and Metaformin for life the doctors said, I chose to research an alternative path.
From 102.5 kg to 85kg in a little over a year cholesterol sorted and type 2 reversed and no exercise ( need to improve here).
I recently had a CAC test and was given a heart age of less than 30years old. I’m 54 in August. No medication just diet, meat, cream, butter, all the stuff they tell you not to eat. Zero carbs, zero sugar - Keto is the way…

Once again Dr Aseem Malholtra writes an easy to understand and informative book. This has helped my husband and I enormously whilst we wait for him to have an angiogram in hospital for an, as yet, undiagnosed reason for AF. Whilst waiting, of course as mentioned by Aseem, my husband has been put on the full range of normal drugs!!! No explanations, even when questioned! At least when we have a diagnosis we will be able to make more informed decisions as to the way forward. Oh, and when I mentioned Coronary Calcium Score, the Junior Doctor thought I was ‘in the profession’. 😃 Thank you!

Story
Heart disease is the number-one killer. However, traditional heart disease protocols - with their emphasis on lowering cholesterol - have it all wrong. Emerging science is showing that cholesterol levels are a poor predictor of heart disease and that standard prescriptions for lowering it, such as ineffective low-fat/high-carb diets and serious, side-effect-causing statin drugs, obscure the real causes of heart disease. The Great Cholesterol Myth reveals the real culprits of heart disease.
