What if the “best” heart advice you’ve heard—low fat, statins-only, stents as the finish line—misses the real problem?
In this video, Dr. Rebecca Lane breaks down what plaque actually is (hint: it’s not “sludge”), why many cardiac events happen from moderate blockages, and the overlooked biology behind plaque instability, inflammation, oxidation, and calcification.
You’ll learn, in plain English, how arterial disease starts in the endothelium, how oxidized LDL triggers immune “foam cells,” and why the most dangerous plaques are often the ones not severe enough for a stent.
Then we shift from theory to strategy: a single daily meal designed to support four key pathways linked to vascular health:
Nitric oxide support via dietary nitrates (and the critical role of oral bacteria)
Reverse cholesterol transport by supporting ABCA1-related pathways (HDL functionality)
Anti-calcification support with Vitamin K2 (MK-7) and Matrix GLA Protein activation
LDL oxidation defense through pomegranate polyphenols and HDL-protective enzymes
You’ll also hear the patient case (Michael) and why “doing everything right” on standard therapy may still leave progression unchecked—plus how to track progress with objective markers (CAC score, ApoB, particle testing, hs-CRP, carotid IMT).
