Welcome to the Dr. Burg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Burg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

Hey guys, in this video, we're going to talk about something very, very, very important

and very interesting. It's called the coronary artery calcium score. First of all, what is

the coronary artery? Well, it's the main artery that supplies blood flow to the heart muscle.

So when you have a heart attack, it's really that artery that becomes obstructed, that

starves off oxygen in blood flow to the heart muscle and it cramps and you get a heart

attacking, you die. And since heart attacks are the number one leading cause of death worldwide,

it might be a good idea to know more about this test so you can predict if you're going

to have a problem. So if we reverse engineer a heart attack, we take it one step back,

we're going to get a cramp. The cramp of the heart, why? Because the artery is not free

flowing. There's something obstructing it. There's plucking. There could be a clot composed

of cholesterol, calcium, and a certain type of protein called fibrin and a couple other

things. So it's all just coming in here. But everyone's so hyper focused on cholesterol.

They're trying to reduce cholesterol, thinking this is what's causing this. No, this is the

effect of something earlier. So they put you on a statin drug and start shutting down on

the body's ability to produce cholesterol and then we create all sorts of other problems.

So the combination between this and this is really a band-aid coming in to heal a lesion

or damage the wall of the arteries. So you have inflammation because there's damage

and the inside lining of the vessel. And the reason why there's damage is because there's

high levels of insulin behind that. So high insulin is the culprit. I've tons and tons

of videos on this. I'll put a link down below to learn more about this. But if you have
