Dr. Michael Twyman: A Deep Dive into Cardiovascular Health

Smarter Not Harder

In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, host Dr. Scott Sherr is joined by guest Dr. Michael Twyman to give one-cent solutions to life’s $64,000 questions that include:

• What are the roles of the endothelium and the glycocalyx in cardiovascular health and how can their function be optimized to prevent heart disease and manage blood pressure?
• How do advanced diagnostic tools like CT angiograms, magneto cardiography, advanced lipid panels, and genetic testing contribute to personalized medicine in cardiology and the early detection of cardiovascular risk factors?
• What are the lifestyle changes that can significantly influence cardiovascular health, and how can practices such as improving diet, enhancing nitric oxide levels, maintaining a healthy oral microbiome, adjusting light exposure and sleep patterns, and patient education help manage heart health?

Dr. Michael Twyman is a dedicated health professional with a passion for preventing and early detecting heart disease. Specializing in Heart Attack Prevention, he seamlessly blends conventional medicine, integrative/functional medicine, quantum medicine, and biohacking to address the root causes of cardiovascular issues.

What we discuss:

(0:00:03) - Heart energy production, the importance of mitochondrial function in chronic diseases, and role of endothelium and glycocalyx in cardiovascular health

(0:07:14) - Oxidative stress and inflammation impact on endothelial and glycocalyx functions, effects of COVID-19, and methods to reduce oxidative stress.

(0:18:17) - The significance of accurate blood pressure monitoring, risks of hypertension, and variances in blood pressure related to cardiovascular health

(0:27:23) - The decline of nitric oxide production with age, the impact of mouthwashes and supplements on nitric oxide levels, and how it affects vascular health

(0:37:32) - The importance of proper light exposure and sleep quality for regulating circadian rhythms, and their broader health implications

(0:41:58) - Cholesterol panels, the significance of repairing the glycocalyx and endothelium, role of LDL particles and APOB, and issues with sterol absorption

(0:53:09) - Managing cholesterol and cardiovascular risk, benefits and side effects of statins, and use of advanced testing tools

(0:56:36) - The importance of CT angiograms, the ability of Clearly software to differentiate between plaque types, and the value of early detection of cardiovascular risk

(1:03:01) - Magneto cardiography (MCG) as a diagnostic technique, its potential future applications, and lifestyle advice for good health
