So that subliminal fire you're talking about is they're rumbling away. It's subclinical, asymptomatic, and then you have your first heart attack and you realize- or your first stroke- that you've been inflamed for a long time.
Ever thought about what might be silently wreaking havoc on your heart and brain? In this eye-opening episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen sit down with Dr. Mark Houston, an associate clinical professor of medicine at Vanderbilt University, to shed light on the often-overlooked issue of inflammation. You might be surprised to learn that a staggering 68% of people have their first heart attack without any prior symptoms.
That's where inflammation sneaks in as a silent menace, potentially causing major damage if left unchecked. Dr. Houston dives into the nitty-gritty of how inflammation works and why it's so dangerous. He explains how you can identify inflammation markers like CRP and Lp(a) through simple tests. But it's not just about diagnostics; he also shares practical tips on what to eat and what to avoid to keep inflammation at bay.
Think twice before reaching for those refined carbs and trans fats! Instead, consider adding short-chain fatty acids found in coconut oil and chocolate, or even grass-fed beef, to your diet. Curious about how alcohol fits into the picture? Dr. Houston breaks down its effects on brain health and explains the difference between short-chain and long-chain fatty acids. This episode is packed with actionable advice that can help you take control of your health and reduce your risk of inflammation-related diseases.
If you're looking to arm yourself with knowledge and practical tips to protect your heart and brain, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast and let Dr. Mark Houston guide you through the maze of inflammation and its far-reaching impacts.
