Do you also have heart health concerns that are impacting your productivity and well-being? Are you struggling with persistent stress and burnout? Your lifestyle choices may be playing a significant role. Balancing a high-pressure career and personal responsibilities can lead to chronic health issues, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and susceptible to cardiovascular problems. In this episode, we discuss holistic practices to strengthen your heart and ensure a more balanced and sustainable approach to a healthier life.

Dr Jack Wolfson, widely celebrated as a trailblazer in the cardiovascular community, has profoundly impacted the field with his shift from conventional cardiology to a more holistic approach. Author of the influential book "The Paleo Cardiologist: The Natural Way to Heart Health", Dr Wolfson guides individuals on a path to cardiovascular wellness through diet, lifestyle, and environmental considerations. His work, experience and modern insights continually transform how we understand and nurture the heart.

“No matter what diet you eat, whether it's vegan, vegetarian, paleo, keto, carnivore, make sure it's organic, get the chemicals out of your food …” - Dr Jack Wolfson

In this episode you will learn:

• The crucial role cholesterol plays in hormone production, cell membranes, and digestion, and why it's more than just a number to worry about.
• How inflammation and oxidative stress are the real culprits behind cardiovascular risk, shifting focus from cholesterol and lipid levels.
• Dr Wolfson's perspective on a balanced diet, advocating for organic, ethically raised animal products, wild seafood, and the minimisation of processed sugars for optimal heart health.
• The influence of commercial interests on dietary trends and the enduring cultural and historical significance of meat consumption.
• Practical biohacking strategies like sauna and ice baths, gradually introduced, along with ancestral outdoor physical activities for urban dwellers.
• Holistic practices such as yoga, breath work, and grounding techniques, and their impact on cardiovascular health, stress reduction, and overall well-being.
