I want you to see what 25 years of stent data just showed the biggest heart meeting in the world.
When my widowmaker hit at 52, emergency care saved my life. I will never say otherwise. A heart attack in progress is an emergency, and opening the artery is what you do.
But not every stent goes in during an emergency. Many go into people with stable disease who hear the word blockage and assume it is a time bomb.
At the American Heart Association meeting in Chicago this past weekend, two long term studies looked at exactly that.
COURAGE followed 959 US veterans with stable coronary disease for up to 25 years. Stent first plus medication, or medication alone. Death or heart attack: 93.3% versus 91.0%. No significant difference. And nearly half of the medication group never needed a procedure at all.
ISCHEMIA followed 5,179 people with stable disease in 37 countries for a median of 9 years. Death at 11 years: 25.8% with the invasive strategy, 26.9% with the conservative one. The gap in average survival was 14 days, and it was not statistically significant.
A stent fixes a narrow spot. It does not ask why the wall narrowed.
Neither trial was designed to answer that question. What was feeding the plaque. What the insulin was doing. What the vessel wall was reacting to.
That is the question I have spent six years asking.
If you have been told you need a stent for stable disease, sit down with your cardiologist and ask one thing. What will this change about the next 25 years of my life?

$DOG has survived two and a half years of bullying, FUD, ignorance from CEXs, manipulation from the outside, a bear market… You name it.
Instead of fading away and dying, $DOG built the strongest communities in crypto. We kept pushing, kept building and set countless records along the way.
$DOG has proven that it can survive some serious shit.
The next two years won't be a vacation either. But they'll be a hell of a lot easier than the road we've already travelled.
The foundation is built. And what hasn't killed us has only made us stronger.
This is where the real journey to the moon begins.

Nine people in ten would point at the steak on the right and call it the healthy one, and I have run out of patience with every single one of them.
The one on the right is a ribeye with the ribeye taken out. The one on the left is the animal as it was built, a cap of fat round the edge thick enough to earn the word, a seam of it between the muscles, marbling through the eye so dense it looks like frost. Fifty years ago the butcher would have charged you more for the one on the left and apologised for the one on the right.
Now the trimmed one is premium and the real one is a guilty pleasure, and the country that fell for that is the country with the diabetes clinic.
The fat is the food. A, D, E and K2 live in it and nowhere else on the plate. The flavour lives in it, which is why the right one needs a jus and the left one needs a knife. The fullness lives in it, which is why the right one has you at the fridge by nine and the left one has you forgetting breakfast. The fuel lives in it. The red is the packaging, and you have been taught to buy the packaging and tip the contents away.
And this fat, out of every fat on the counter, is the one that cannot hurt you. The cow's rumen saturated it before it reached her. It sits solid and white on the board, it does not go rancid in the pan the way the bottle of sunflower oil does, and it is the fat your great-grandmother fried everything in while heart disease was still a rarity you wrote up in a journal.
So who convinced you otherwise. A margarine firm with a heart on the lid, a 1977 guideline written by a man who never ran a trial, and forty years of magazine covers, every one of them paid by somebody with a bottle to sell. They could not sell you the fat on the left, because it comes free with the cow. So they taught you to fear it and sold you the substitute.
Half a century on, the lean one costs more, tastes of less, leaves you hungry, and gets called healthy by people who have never once asked what the fat was for.
The one on the left. Eat the edge first. Stop apologising for being right.

A can of sardines costs less than $2, and it might be one of the most underrated foods for your blood sugar.
In a clinical trial out of Barcelona, roughly 150 people were split into two groups. One group simply added two cans of sardines a week. Their diabetes risk dropped from 37% to 8%. The lead researcher called it a huge scientific discovery.
What's in one can:
• 23 g of protein
• 900 mg of omega-3s (EPA and DHA)
• 382 mg of calcium
• 348% of your daily B12
• Vitamin D, selenium, and phosphorus
• Taurine, which supports GABA, your calming neurotransmitter
For comparison, the average American gets only about 100 mg of EPA and DHA a day.
Worried about mercury? Sardines have about 27 times less than tuna, and they're rich in selenium, which binds with mercury.
For the most benefit, choose sardines with the skin and bones, packed in extra-virgin olive oil.

I have been saying for months that Lp(a) is a genetic risk factors for heart disease. It promotes clotting, carries oxidized phospholipids into the vessel wall, and drives plaque independently of LDL.
I still believe that. Knowing your Lp(a) changes every decision you make about your health.
This week, Novartis announced that their drug pelacarsen, which cut Lp(a) by 80%, failed to reduce heart attacks, strokes, or cardiac deaths in 8,323 patients followed for seven years.
"This is a huge blow," said the president of the American Society for Preventive Cardiology.
These are educated doctors. That is what makes this worse. They are not shocked because the science failed. They are shocked because their assumption failed.
The assumption that moving one number with one drug would change the outcome. The same assumption that has failed with HDL drugs, CETP inhibitors, and IL-6 blockers. Every time a drug lowers a marker and the disease does not move, they are stunned. Every single time.
At some point, shock is no longer the right response. The right response is to question the framework.
But here is why they do not question it. There is no money in the answer. The sick care system does not profit from a patient who heals through food and lifestyle. It profits from a patient who stays on a drug for the rest of their life. A patient who addresses the root cause and no longer needs a prescription is a cancelled subscription.
A patient who takes a monthly injection for 30 years is recurring revenue.
Novartis said the Lp(a) market could be worth more than five billion dollars a year.
That is not a medical hypothesis. That is a business plan. And when the business plan fails, the shock is not scientific. It is financial.
Nobody is funding a trial that tests whether whole food, movement, stress management, and sleep can do what pelacarsen could not. Not because the idea is unscientific. Because there is no patent on food. There is no monthly injection for walking. There is no five billion dollar market for telling a patient to fix their environment.
The marker is not the disease. It never was. You can silence the signal with a drug. The alarm stops ringing. The house is still on fire. The insulin resistance is still there. The chronic inflammation is still there. The oxidative stress is still there. The vessel wall is still under attack from twelve directions.
You cannot fight a twelve-headed dragon by cutting off one head with a pill. You have to change the environment that is feeding all twelve heads at once.
That is root cause medicine. That is what I am building. And that is what the sick care system will never fund, because a healthy patient is the one thing it was not designed to produce.

I opened Neo Root on the first of September with no marketing, no paid advertising and no launch plan.
Five thousand people signed up in ten weeks.
We closed the beta a week ago
Every one of them uploaded a blood test and got back the thing their doctor never gave them. Not a range. A reason.
On the 24th of December the Apple and Android apps go live, and the digital coaches go with them. A coach who has already read your blood work, looks at you while you speak, and answers out loud in your own language.
I had a heart attack at fifty two with an LDL of 110 and nobody asked why. This is the thing I wanted that night and could not buy.

It looks like they are planning a blackout.
Just like when your computer is running slow with too many apps and pages running, it needs a clear out.
To upgrade the system the old system needs shut down and rebooted.
The fact that this is planned and the BBC has a script running in the background as an Emergency Broadcast during the event.
Propaganda Machine instructing the masses during the transition.
If it does happen, it will happen for 3 days at the most.
This is because they need the New System up and running and it won't take too long for the switch over.
Like going from Analog to Digital.
Ignore all broadcasts, this is when they know people will be panicking and they will use it to their advantage.
There will be no power, no Internet and no mobile phone service.
Have enough supplies to last you for a good few days, keep an eye on the neighbors and watch out for each other.
Keep doors locked and secure especially at night time and wait for it to all boot back up.
The most important thing is don't panic!!
This is all planned so you should have a plan too.
My plan is to enjoy the Silence.
