🫀❤️🩹 🫀 My Heart Health Transformation (Without Statins)—Exactly What I Eat, Take & Track to Fight Off Heart Disease 💉🥑
Two years ago, my lipid panel was “lit up like a Christmas tree”, with elevated ApoB and lpA, along with extremely high LDL cholesterol and plaque accumulation as indicated by a CT angiography.
Fast-forward to today—and check out the images below from my latest at-home blood test courtesy of SiPhox Health (which you can learn more about in this podcast episode with the company's founder, Michael Dubrovsky).

While my updated numbers aren’t picture-perfect, they’re far more stabilized. And considering my family history of cardiovascular disease, I’m way less worried than I used to be.
So what exactly did I do to turn things around?
🥑 I cut way back on saturated fat. I used to devour the fattiest ends of every pork chop and the most marbled ribeyes like it was a competitive sport. Now, only about 10% of my fat intake is saturated. The rest is Mediterranean-style fats—like extra virgin olive oil, wild salmon, and avocados. My arteries are sighing with relief.
💊 I formulated a daily “Heart Health” supplement stack in partnership with Vitaboom Health. After obsessively researching natural lipid-lowering compounds and cardiovascular nutrients, I pulled together a potent protocol that includes CoQ10 ubiquinone, sulforaphane, pomegranate, green coffee, nitric oxide support, vitamin K1 and K2, and a number of other beneficial nutrients for circulation, arterial health, normal blood clotting, and so on – without you needing a billion bottles cluttering up your pantry. You can see the full ingredient list in my Heart Health stack (and how it works) here.
💉 I started biweekly PCSK-9 inhibitor injections, a type of cholesterol-lowering drug. These drugs are FDA-approved to help lower LDL “bad” cholesterol and have been shown to help prevent heart attacks or strokes in some cases. This move was big, as it seemed to seriously put the brakes on plaque progression.
🎙️ This protocol has been years in the making. Everything I’ve learned and shared on my podcasts (which you'll find links to below) about optimizing cardiovascular health kind-of came together into one targeted, results-driven plan (that is constantly evolving, but working well so far!).
In a perfect world, I would actually like for my cholesterol to now be slightly higher, but I’m very happy that I’ve created a scenario where plaque accumulation and heart disease risk are definitely lower. I don’t know about you, but experiencing the dreaded “widowmaker“ is not high on my list of priorities. 🚫💔
If you're curious about your own heart health (and you should be), I recommend grabbing the SiPhox at-home test. It’s insanely easy—just a few drops of blood from a painless process—and it measures 17 key biomarkers like cortisol, insulin, testosterone, estradiol, vitamin D, homocysteine, and more, meaning it goes way above and beyond most other at-home tests.

Take a look at Mom and Dad back in the day! What a great-lookin’ couple, right?…
…But beyond the photos—want to hear their real stories?
Check out this podcast episode where I interviewed my Dad (may he rest in peace 🙏), and this one where I sat down with my Mom.
Both are jam-packed with not just heartwarming tales, but also timeless wisdom, health hacks, and insights you won’t find in any textbook.
I can’t recommend this enough: Interview your parents while you still can. Record it—video, audio, written, whatever works. You’ll not only capture their voice but preserve your roots 🌳.
And Legacy Tip #2: Flip the mic 🎙️—have your kids interview YOU. These moments become the soulprint you'll leave behind for generations to come.
Product Of The Week
::: 💧Hydrate the Right Way With a Free Sample Pack of LMNT :::
Contrary to popular belief, dehydration isn’t the biggest threat to athletes—overhydration is.
Thanks to outdated and misguided hydration guidelines, too many people are guzzling water nonstop, diluting their blood sodium levels, and ending up with hyponatremia (low serum sodium).
Drinking too much water can cause headaches, fatigue, muscle cramps, dizziness, and brain fog… and in some tragic cases, it can even be fatal. The irony? No one has ever died from exercise-induced dehydration—but plenty have from hyponatremia. Another surprising finding? Research shows that mild dehydration doesn’t even impair performance in many scenarios.
So what’s the fix?
✔️ Drink to thirst
✔️ Replenish your electrolytes
✔️ Skip the sugary, neon-colored garbage
LMNT is my go-to, no-sugar, science-backed electrolyte drink mix that delivers a clinical dose of sodium, potassium, and magnesium—without any of the junk (no artificial colors, no fillers, no sweeteners).
It was co-developed by my good friend Robb Wolf, former research biochemist and New York Times bestselling author, alongside Luis Villaseñor, founder of Ketogains. These guys know their stuff and the formula reflects it.
LMNT supports active hydration for performance, recovery, fasting, low-carb living, sauna sessions, and even better sleep. I use it daily for energy, clarity, and electrolyte balance, especially when training hard or traveling.
You’re also guaranteed to find an LMNT flavor you love. Try fan-favorites Citrus Salt or Raspberry Salt, get spicy with Mango Chili, or mix Chocolate Salt into your morning coffee for a mean mocha.
Right now, LMNT has a special offer for you: grab a free sample pack (including all their top flavors) with any purchase.

*This* Peptide Helps You Heal Like Wolverine, Boosts Your Performance & Delivers Incredible Anti-Aging Benefits (Now Available at LIFE Market!)
If you’re battling gut issues, recovering from an injury, or living with chronic inflammation, BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound 157) is a game-changer.
This naturally occurring peptide is found in your gut lining, and when formulated correctly, it works systemically to accelerate healing, repair tissue, calm inflammation, and restore balance throughout your body.
Recently, I released a “Best of Peptides” episode on my podcast (which you can check out here). Throughout the show, you’ll hear a lot of references to BPC-157 due to its versatility in improving health and wellness—from boosting your performance to delivering anti-aging benefits.
While BPC-157 is often administered through subcutaneous injections, you can also take it orally (which might be a relief to hear if you’re not a huge fan of needles!).
Even better news: my favorite oral formula for BPC-157 is now available on LIFE Market.
LVLUP’s Re-Generate (oral BPC-157) includes a synergistic blend of:
- BPC-157 (Arginine Salt): For deep regeneration of tissue, joints, and gut
- PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide): A potent anti-inflammatory and mast cell stabilizer that also relieves pain
- Hyaluronic Acid: To rehydrate and repair joints, connective tissue, and skin
- Sodium Bicarbonate: Buffers stomach acid to maximize absorption and preserve peptide integrity
The results can include faster recovery from wounds and injuries, sealed-up gut permeability, reduced neuroinflammation, and stronger, more supple skin.
Ready to dive into the world of peptides to reap these incredible health benefits?
