Heart Doc VIP with Dr. Joel Kahn

Prayers to all those impacted by the wildfires in LA and the surrounding areas. Many listeners live in the affected region.

This week, Dr. Kahn discusses hot topics like green tea for brain health, coffee for heart health, and reasons to avoid sugary beverages. He also studies okra, which has been found to lower blood sugar and cholesterol.

Two reports on Lipoprotein(a) raise concerns about its connection to atrial fibrillation and aortic enlargement. Finally, Dr. Kahn discusses a study on using nasal sprays to shorten the duration of respiratory illnesses. In his clinic, he uses CoFixRX oral and nasal spray.

The main topic is Dr. Kahn's recent experience with genetic testing. A longevity panel from GB Insight was explored and found to be useful. Even more useful were the results from www.mygenefood.app, which included an analysis of cholesterol absorption. Additionally, food and vitamin recommendations were provided and reviewed this week.
