Before this point, my top book recommendation would have been Dr. Thomas Cowan's Human Heart, Cosmic Heart, ideally paired with a listen to my own big show on all the different ways to test, analyze, and medically quantify your heart health, which you can listen to in the episode titled "The Best Way To Test How Healthy Your Heart Is: Ben Greenfield Undergoes A Complete Advanced Cardiac Evaluation & Reports The Surprising Results!" https://bengreenfieldlife.com/human-heart https://bengreenfieldlife.com/podcast/lifestyle-podcasts/what-is-the-best-test-to-check-for-heart-problems/ Anyway, this latest, groundbreaking book — Understanding the Heart: Surprising Insights Into the Evolutionary Origins of Heart Disease―and Why It Matters — is by the remarkable Dr. Stephen Hussey, MS, DC, a chiropractor, functional medicine practitioner, health coach, and speaker. He attained both his Doctorate of Chiropractic and Master of Science in human nutrition and functional medicine from the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon. In addition to Understanding the Heart, Dr. Hussey is also the author of another excellent book on health and longevity titled The Health Evolution: Why Understanding Evolution Is the Key to Vibrant Health. Through his unique expertise, he guides clients from around the world back to health using ancestral wisdom and the latest research. In his downtime, Dr. Hussey likes to be outdoors, play sports, read, write, and spend time with his wife and their pets. https://amzn.to/3IzaCAr https://bengreenfieldlife.com/health-evolution During our discussion, you'll discover: -Why the heart gets the cream of the crop when it comes to our fat...07:40 -What is a lean mass hyper-responder...13:45 -How statins work and issues with CoQ10...19:02 -Why aspirin may be a bad idea...27:57 -Ouabain and strophanthus...35:51 -How chiropractic therapy can improve heart health...40:07 -Best practices for maintaining heart health...47:09 -Why Stephen refers to Western medicine as "two-faced medicine"...49:16 Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/hearthealth2 Additional Resources: Ben Greenfield Website: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/ Ben Greenfield Podcast: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/podcast/ Ben Greenfield Books: https://shopbengreenfieldlife.com/collections/books Twitter https://twitter.com/bengreenfield Instagram https://www.instagram.com/bengreenfieldfitness/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BGFitness TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@bengreenfield #BenGreenfield #hearthealth #heart #heartdisease
