Welcome to Untangle. I'm Patricia Carpice. I'm super excited about today's guest, Dr. Joel Kahn.

He's a world-renowned cardiologist, author and host of the podcast, Heart Doc VIP.

He's also referred to as America's Healthy Heart Doctor. He gives us confidence that, yes, we can take charge of our health.

In this interview, he shares practical advice and tools to help us crack the code on heart

disease, which still, hard to believe, is the leading cause of death.

He believes that we can do much, much better with a mix of

testing. He says test, don't guess. A calcium heart scan, advanced labs if needed, a plant-based

diet, exercise, sleep, hormones, supplements, and maybe medicine. He shares some of the research on a plant-based diet and heart

health as well as its potential to reduce dementia risk. He's very bullish on a plant-based

diet and you'll understand why after listening to him. He's passionate about making sure

that we're all as informed as possible. His extensive knowledge,

experience, and access to the latest research is truly empowering. And it's nice that he's a

fun guy, too. I've been on the track to learn more about heart disease personally, so was thrilled

to have Joel on our show. I learned so much from him.

As always, we're Untangle, the podcast from Muse, the brain sensing headband dedicated to unlocking

Joel, it's so great to have you on Untangle. I'm really excited because I'm a major fan girl of your

podcast and all of your work. So thank you for being with us today. Well, that's rather kind of you.

And I know we're doing this by voice, but I'm sitting on a porch and sunshine on a beautiful

Michigan day.

So I'm having double pleasure talking to you and enjoying a little nature.
