If you're dealing with plaque, high calcium scores, coronary artery disease, or other heart concerns, you're in for an eye-opening podcast that could change your life.

In this episode, you'll dive into Patrick Theut's remarkable journey of reversing coronary artery disease, the diet plans and high-dose vitamin regimen that helped him regenerate his pancreas and fix his thyroid, and the crucial role of vitamin K in heart health.

Patrick Theut is a biochemist and engineer who has successfully managed to reverse his coronary artery disease, recording his experience in his fascinating Cardiac Manifesto, linked here. In total, he has invested over 16,000 hours of study into the cause of heart disease. Today, you'll uncover his insights into why this disease develops, how to stop it from progressing, and protocols that can potentially reverse it. Additionally, Patrick unveils the hidden power of gut health in maintaining a strong heart and reveals his personal dietary secrets that have kept heart disease at bay.

You'll also delve into Patrick's groundbreaking venture in cardiac health, K-vitamins. His company sells a vitamin K blend called Koncentrated K that includes micro-encapsulated astaxanthin — a potent carotenoid pigment and antioxidant found naturally in algae, shrimp, lobster, crab, and salmon. Koncentrated K also contains the highest dose of the three most researched forms of vitamin K to help you improve your cardiac health and live a long and vibrant life.

Ready to take control of your heart health and explore new frontiers in cardiac wellness? Join me and Patrick as we embark on a journey to understand the intricacies of heart disease, unlock the secrets of optimal cardiac health, and discover groundbreaking approaches to reversing coronary artery disease.
