Cardiovascular Health and Glycation

In this episode of The College of Glycation, Dr. Paul Reynolds explores the damaging impact of glycation and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) on cardiovascular health. He explains how these sugar-derived molecules stiffen arteries, trigger inflammation, and contribute to conditions like hypertension, atherosclerosis, stroke, and heart failure. Backed by decades of peer-reviewed research, Dr. Reynolds walks listeners through how AGEs disrupt vascular function and why insulin resistance acts as a critical accelerator of this molecular damage.Listeners will gain a clear understanding of how glycation contributes to heart disease—even in those without diabetes—and discover practical strategies to reduce AGE burden through diet and lifestyle. Whether you're looking to protect your heart, manage blood sugar, or understand the deeper links between metabolism and chronic illness, this episode delivers evidence-based insights with clarity and urgency.Paul’s favorite yerba mate: https://ufeelgreat.com/usa/en/c/C63EE3  Paul’s favorite source for clean, earth-sourced essentials such as salt, elecrolytes, hydration, pre-workout and more.
