Why Your Heart Health Might Depend on One Simple Blood Test You've Never Had

This episode of The Healthy Steps Radio Show continues Dr. Harvey's deep dive into cardiovascular disease during Heart Month, following Valentine's Day weekend. Dr. Harvey breaks down the limitations of mainstream heart care, explains why toxins and inflammation are often the real culprits behind high cholesterol, and pushes for a more individualized, root-cause approach to treatment. He covers updated recommendations from the American College of Cardiology, including the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists (like Ozempic and Wegovy), and the shortcomings of ignoring dietary interventions, omega-3 testing, and inflammation markers. Callers ask about everything from organic shopping strategies and Alzheimer's misdiagnoses, to osteoporosis, full knee replacements, and functional medicine for cognitive decline. As always, it's filled with empowering, evidence-based advice you won't hear in a typical 10-minute office visit.
