About this listen

This week, Dr. Kahn brings up the topic of the mind’s role in heart health. A randomized trial of Transcendental Meditation (TM) in patients at high risk for heart events over 5 years showed powerful benefits, including reduced CIMT thickness on ultrasound. He also discusses the role of hope in heart patients, and a trial that found statins did not worsen depression in those affected. Mindful eating is also covered, with data showing it’s linked to higher-quality, plant-based dietary patterns. Chew your food and be grateful.

Shorter topics include pycnogenol for cellulite, diet drinks and diabetes risk, therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) and aging reversal, and the benefits of chickpeas, black beans, olive oil, and the Portfolio Diet for reducing heart deaths.
