Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. However, emerging science is showing that we may need to look deeper into what is driving this! That is where my friend, Jonny Bowden comes in. Jonny is a board-certified nutritionist, author of 15 books, and even finds time to lecture around the world. Jonny and I discuss health-related topics such as cholesterol, insulin resistance, strengthening our immune system and even the best dietary habits to instill today. Join us as we dive into the latest studies and clinical findings for effectively preventing and managing heart disease by focusing on diet, exercise, supplements, sleep and stress management.
