Who Needs a Statin? Exploring the PREVENT Calculator

In this episode, Dr. Joel Kahn pays tribute to two influential figures, Drs. Endo and Mosley, who passed away this month. He also delves into the benefits of adding more tomatoes and choline-rich foods to your diet for heart health. Plus, even plant-based junk food is still junk food, and Dr. Kahn reminds us why it's best to avoid it.

On a hopeful note, a new study suggests that the supplement nicotinamide riboside may improve leg circulation. You can find it here: Tru Niagen® 300 mg - 90 Vegetarian Capsules. 

The main focus of this episode is the new PREVENT score calculator, which helps healthcare professionals determine who might benefit from statin therapy for lowering cholesterol. Dr. Kahn was recently interviewed on national TV to discuss this significant development. Understanding this tool is crucial, and you can explore it here: PREVENT Calculator.
