Episode #171: “My Heart Test Was Perfect and Then I Had a HEART ATTACK!” – Featuring Daniel Trevor

He passed his cardiac stress test with flying colors and received a clean bill of health from his doctors. Shortly afterward, he suffered a heart attack that nearly killed him. Determined to understand what went wrong, he began investigating the hidden risks of heart disease, insulin resistance, and the foods we consume every day.

He is Dr. Daniel Trevor, a heart attack survivor, citizen scientist, serial entrepreneur, and author of Unholy Trinity: How Carbs, Sugar & Oils Make Us Fat, Sick & Addicted and How to Escape Their Grip. 

Drawing on more than 1,200 scientific references, Trevor challenges conventional nutrition advice and explores how the modern food industry, pharmaceutical companies, and healthcare system may influence our health.

In this episode, we talk about:

■ How Daniel nearly died from a heart attack despite passing his cardiac stress test

■ The overlooked blood tests that can help identify cardiovascular and metabolic risks

■ Why Daniel questions conventional cholesterol guidelines and statin prescriptions

■ How Daniel developed type 2 diabetes despite being relatively slim

■ The relationship between insulin resistance, blood sugar, and cardiovascular disease

■ Why Daniel believes whole grains and wheat contributed to his health problems

■ How processed foods may encourage addictive eating behaviors

■ Why Daniel challenges the health benefits of oats and other commonly recommended grains

■ The differences between seed oils, olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, and animal fats

■ Why Daniel believes grass-fed meat is healthier than conventionally raised meat
