The Real Causes of Heart Disease - Beyond Cholesterol | A Different Perspective | September 9, 2023
This week, on A Different Perspective, Doc talks about the more complex contributing factors and dispels commonly held misconceptions around heart disease. Is cholesterol really the primary culprit behind heart disease? Not exactly.
Doc explains how cardiovascular disease will kill more women than anything else. But plaque buildup stems from multiple causes, and there’s a long lead up to it, which means that, while you can definitely work your heart back to health, it’ll also take time.
There are a lot of contributing factors to women’s heart health, including high blood pressure, inflammation, GI issues, and more. Elevated cholesterol alone does not seal your fate.
Doc also discusses:
Natural ways to improve cardiovascular health, like berberine. What does it do, where do you find it, and are there studies to back this all up? Doc covers it all!
Why it’s never “just” gas and bloating.
Doc’s advice: Get tested, reduce sugar, eat broccoli sprouts and cruciferous veggies, lose weight, exercise. Your actions and lifestyle aren’t insignificant to your health – quite the opposite, actually!
Your heart health is too important to rely on misconceptions. Watch this video to get a bigger picture from Doc and start improving your cardiovascular health, today!

The Dark Side of Ozempic: Is It Worth the Risks? | A Different Perspective | September 9, 2023
This week, on A Different Perspective, Doc and Megan Redshaw talk about the diabetes drug Ozempic, that has become what many turn to to lose weight. Doc and Megan warn against this strategy. With serious potential negative consequences and drug risks, they argue the risks outweigh the benefits for most people.
In this eye-opening talk, Doc and Megan discuss:
How many people in America use Ozempic as diet pills even though its intended purpose was as a diabetes drug.
Mechanism of action - Ozempic mimics the "fullness hormone" GLP-1 to suppress appetite.
Alarming side effects like pancreas inflammation, kidney failure, worsened vision, gallbladder issues, and thyroid cancer. This is because Ozempic acts on receptors throughout the body, not just related to weight.
There’s no long-term safety data for Ozempic
With so many consequences throughout the body, Doc and Megan Redshaw advise focusing on proven, holistic weight loss methods without harmful trade-offs. They’re aware that telling people to stop eating sugar and move more to avoid obesity and lose weight isn’t the easy solution we’d all prefer, but it’s still the best way to do so.

Rethink Breast Cancer: Causes, Myths and “Prevention” | A Different Perspective | September 2, 2023
This week, on A Different Perspective, Doc flips the script on conventional breast cancer wisdom in this eye-opening talk. Going beyond what people “know” to be true and common breast cancer prevention techniques, he reveals lesser-known facts like cardiovascular disease killing more women annually than breast cancer, and skin cancer affecting more people than breast cancer. Yes, you read that right – breast cancer is bad, but is only as well-known as it is due to good marketing tactics. Doc also talks about why things that are normally seen as prevention aren’t helping prevent breast cancer, at all.
Doc explains issues with using 5-year survival rate statistics, as they don't account for deaths after 5 years and one day. He also unpacks how abnormal hormonal balance and estrogen dominance contribute to breast cancer risk. Doc points out that you don’t have breast cancer because you have estrogens, but because they’re elevated for a long time. Proper testing of all your estrogens, not just the commonly checked ones, provides a more accurate picture.
Additional topics covered include:
The interaction of genetics and lifestyle/environmental factors. Genetics alone don't seal your fate.
Ways to support your body’s normal function, which is to kill cancer cells. These include Reishi and natural breast cancer prevention, (which actually is prevention, and is proven in human, animal, and in vitro studies.)
7 steps you can take to help your body’s proper function: get tested, reduce sugar, eat broccoli sprouts and cruciferous veggies, add mushrooms, lose weight, get moving, and balance hormones.
It's time to change the perspective and conversation around breast cancer. Understanding the real contributing factors is key for prevention. Watch now to learn more from Doc’s refreshing take on this important women's health issue.

Who Should Control Your Family's Health? | A Different Perspective | September 2, 2023
This week, on A Different Perspective, Doc tackles the controversial idea that government should in no way be involved with healthcare? He argues passionately that healthcare choices should be made for your family by you -- not “experts” and bureaucrats.
Key topics covered in this fiery talk include:
Many modern diseases originate from nutritional deficiencies, not pharmaceutical ones. Yet the government promotes drugs over diet.
The importance of nutrients like potassium for things like fatigue. That 4700mg are needed, not the low RDAs.
When the government funds healthcare and promotes drugs, they have an incentive for people to be unwell.
Doc encourages his listeners to stay healthy and stay free – that doesn’t come without a fight. Are you ready?

History of Bloodletting
The "History of Bloodletting" delves into an ancient and intriguing medical practice that spans centuries of human civilization. A practice rooted in the belief that bodily imbalances and ailments could be corrected by extracting specific quantities of blood, bloodletting has a rich and often controversial history. Originating in early civilizations, from ancient Egypt and Greece to traditional Chinese medicine, bloodletting was thought to restore harmony within the body's humoral system. Physicians meticulously followed various techniques and methodologies, adapting their practices across cultures and eras.
As the centuries progressed, bloodletting evolved from a cultural and mystical ritual into a systematic medical intervention endorsed by renowned figures such as Galen and Avicenna. The practice, however, carried both successes and failures, with instances of misguided applications leading to detrimental outcomes. The Renaissance saw both a resurgence and a critical examination of bloodletting, culminating in heated debates within medical communities.
The "History of Bloodletting" navigates through the highs and lows of this practice, illustrating how it was entwined with prevailing medical theories and societal norms. The narrative explores the eventual decline of bloodletting as advances in science, including the understanding of the circulatory system, began to shed light on the true physiological workings of the human body. As the medical field embraced evidence-based practices, bloodletting gradually receded into historical obscurity.
This exploration offers a fascinating glimpse into the evolving landscape of medicine, reflecting the human pursuit of understanding and healing throughout the ages. The "History of Bloodletting" serves as a testament to the continuous evolution of medical knowledge, reminding us of the significance of critical inquiry and empirical evidence in shaping the course of medical progress.

Cholesterol, Estrogens, and Heart Disease | A Different Perspective | August 19, 2023
This week, on A Different Perspective, Doc talks about why cholesterol isn’t the evil we’ve made it out to be. Women fear estrogen hormone levels and breast cancer over poor cardiovascular health due to the fantastic marketing teams breast cancer has behind it, cholesterol has been made out to be the main reason for cardiovascular disease, even though the truth is entirely different.
Doc talks about the cardiovascular protective aspects of estrogens. This is why, after menopause, women are at a greater risk of heart disease – and why women who go through early menopause are more likely to have increased risk – the hormonal changes that happen.
This does not mean that you should go out and get hormone therapy. Artificial hormones not only don’t help the heart, they increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. This also doesn’t mean post-menopausal women should try to get their hormone levels back to what they should be during the cyclic years. If you’re in a different stage of life, you need different hormone levels. Even if the extra estrogens make you feel better, that doesn’t mean you are better.
As Doc talks about cardiovascular disease and what leads to it, he points out a few breaks in logic that we’ve been missing, including the following:
--If LDL causes plaquing, why isn’t there plaquing everywhere?
--Just because we find cholesterol where there is plaque doesn’t mean the cholesterol caused the plaque. There had to be artery damage, first.
--Oxidized fats, calcium, and macrophages are also necessary for plaque buildup. So, let’s also get rid of the oxygen, calcium, and macrophages!
Doc points out that the arteries must be damaged before the cholesterol shows up or there’s plaque buildup. What’s causing the damage? Find out and get A Different Perspective on estrogens, cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease!
