We have another classic episode for you. Level up your primary prevention game. Learn when ApoB, Lp(a), and CAC actually change management, how to spot cardiometabolic risk before diabetes declares itself, and how to make smarter lipid decisions beyond the standard panel. We’re joined by Dr. Greg Katz, cardiologist and prevention expert at NYU Langone Health.

Separating Signal from Hype
Patients bring us lists. Greens powders, magnesium for everything, vitamin D “for immunity,” fish oil, creatine, curcumin… so how do we separate signals from hype without becoming the office that just says “no” to everything? In this home-grown deep dive, we build a practical, patient-centered framework for evaluating any supplement, then pressure-test it against the products patients actually take. Learn a five-question approach to any supplement, how to judge product quality in an industry the FDA does not pre-approve, and where the evidence actually lands on greens powders and multivitamins, magnesium, creatine, vitamin D, fish oil (and why cod liver oil is not the same thing), turmeric/curcumin, and glucosamine/chondroitin.
