Episode #132 Featuring Dr. David Rizik!  The Evolution of Cardiology!  Overcoming cholesterol myths and facts, the TRUTH about conventional medicine, Testosterone polarization, Heart Metrics and more!Many of you that follow me know that I am a bit obsessed when it comes to heart health and discussion so I jumped at the opportunity to interview such a well known and respected expert on cardiology, Dr. David G. Rizik. Dr. Rizik is currently Health System Chief at Banner University Medicine Cardiology, where he oversees clinical quality and helps drive continued advancement in cardiovascular care and treatment.  Dr. Rizik has led many of the most influential clinical trials in coronary and valvular heart disease. His groundbreaking research has been instrumental in securing Food and Drug Administration approval for a range of innovative cardiovascular technologies, and he has been named a “Master Interventionalist” by the Society of Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions an honor reserved for the very top tier of interventional cardiologists globally. When I have experts in cardiology near me, I immediately get to grilling them for insight and information.  Given Dr. Rizik's over 30 years of experience, he welcomed this with open arms!  We get right to it discussing the evolution of cardiology and how many things have changed in terms of medicines, procedures and understanding of the heart entirely.  We move directly into diet, discussing myths, facts and fear mongering that goes on in relations to ALL types of foods and diets relating to the heart.  Dr. Rizik is a no nonsense, straight down the middle person, without going extreme in one direction or the other, which provides comfort and trust throughout the entire conversation.  We move into another widely discussed topic... MEDICATIONS, both conventional and non conventional.  I am able to get a direct understanding of statins and their true mechanism of action broken down with science that is easy to comprehend.  We discuss areas where they are needed and others where they may be misused or over used.  We also discuss several other types of treatments and medications and what kind of benefit they provide.  Next we move to how general aging affects the heart and lifestyle changes that can help strengthen our heart health.  We then move on to an in depth discussion on arterial fibrillation covering risks and treatments.  I move on to asking Dr. Rizik about anabolic steroids and the true effects they have on heart health, both short and long term, which then leads us to discuss testosterone therapy and whether or not it is truly safe and effective!  We close the conversation with a discussion on the importance of regular blood panels. Dr. Rizik is clearly on a rare level of intelligence and experience and his insight shows credibility and fairness in all aspects of the health care system.  It was a breath of fresh air to listen to him dissect everything to where he backed up with science but made things clear and easy to understand!  DO NOT MISS THIS EPISODE!  Check out Dr. Rizik at Banner Health:https://doctors.bannerhealth.com/provider/david-rizik/673168   Follow Dr. Rizik on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drdavidrizik/      Today's episode is sponsored by QUALIA Life  Qualia Life Supplements:  Save 50% off PLUS AND ADDITIONAL 15% off with my code DYLAN www.qualialife.com/dylan _______________________________________________________________________________THE DYLAN GEMELLI NAD Optimization Protocol POWERED BY JINFINITI!!  SAVE 10% with code DYLANhttps://www.jinfiniti.com/7-things-you-need-to-know-about-nad-dylan-gemelli-v1/    Get the Apollo Neuro for $99 OFF!!
