PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

DR. BRET SCHER

  • Dr. Scher has been on the show before.
  • Like Vinnie, he has a podcast and does consults.
  • He is an excellent cardiologist.
  • There are methods that will help a majority of people, but you tinker those methods to the individual.
    • This is what makes consults so rewarding and keeps Dr. Scher and Vinnie learning.
  • Some doctors stick to conventional wisdom; others want to be on the cutting edge.
    • Doctors who see it the latter way, like they have to keep learning and improving, are usually the better doctors.
  • Like for trainers, doctors receive very little nutritional training.
    • Though doctors don't usually deal with bro science!

INTERPRETING CHOLESTEROL NUMBERS

  • In the 70s, we looked at a cholesterol number as a whole.
    • This is because we didn't have the technology.
  • Now, if doctors do that, it is a complete cop-out.
  • We have so much more information.
  • Do NOT feel satisfied by your doctor's interpretation of the whole number.
  • Look at HDL, look at trigs, look at LDL, look at the LDL break down.

LIFESTYLE-BASED INTERVENTION

  • Guidelines are highly oriented to prescribing medication.
    • Doctors get paid more money to do things quicker, even if medicine is involved.
    • This is why doctors will just prescribe rather than go to lifestyle.
  • Try to find a doctor willing to focus on intervention that is lifestyle-based.
  • Doctors who avoid extremism are usually the ones to trust.
