Dr. Klodas is a cardiologist who is looking to put herself out of business, as she would say. Why? Because, according to the CDC, 80% of all heart disease should not exist. It’s proved by people who live in what’s called ‘Blue Zones’ around the globe. They’re home to some of the oldest, healthiest, and happiest people. A large reason comes from how they manage what they eat. After years of treating her patients with statins, she noticed that the overarching cause of their heart issues were not

‘Misinformation goes viral much quicker than the good old-fashioned truth.’ The first thing that jumped out at me as needing clarification had to do with birth control.
