I've Seen Too Many Heart Attacks from THIS (Cardiologist Explains)

About this video

Kane has cardiologist Dr. Michael Twyman rate 20 foods red, yellow or green for heart health. Twyman rates butter, eggs, walnuts, dark chocolate and red meat generally green, orange juice and red wine red, and many foods yellow or context-dependent, including bread, pasta, popcorn, rice and canola oil. He repeatedly says the answer depends on mitochondrial health, season and location, and argues sleep, circadian light, stress and movement matter more than perfect food choices. Twyman discusses nitric oxide from exercise, leafy greens and sunlight, skeletal muscle and protein for insulin sensitivity, and says dietary cholesterol has little effect on blood cholesterol for most people.

Key takeaways

• Twyman describes mitochondria as engines and food as fuel, arguing a poor engine matters more than premium fuel
• Twyman says seasonal, locally growing foods are preferable because, in his view, bodies are adapted to them
• Twyman claims shift work and blue light can raise cortisol and induce insulin resistance even without carbs
• Twyman recommends seafood three to four times weekly for omega-3s, if tolerated
• Twyman advises testing arteries after diet changes rather than guessing whether a diet helps or harms
