#319 “Do I Have Heart Disease Despite a Perfect Plant Based Diet?” | Simon Hill

Today we’re talking about Simon Hill’s personal experience with CVD, what prompted him to have early screening for heart disease and what his results have shown. Which is quite surprising. Simon has early signs of heart disease and now he has a decision to make around whether he embarks on early drug treatment or delays treatment to watch how it evolves. As many of us become more pragmatic about health screening, it’s a situation that a lot of us will find ourselves in. Especially with the rise in popularity of full body scans. We also have a discussion around fats, the types of fats in the diet and how one may choose to lower their cholesterol with diet and lifestyle. We go on a virtual trip to the supermarket with Simon and discuss the framework for how to choose fats. The things you need to ask yourself about consuming fats, including the dose and what you’re eating it with. Simon Hill, a physiotherapist and nutrition scientist, is dedicated to simplifying health and nutrition information.

Concerned about misleading wellness industry trends, he completed a Master of Science in Human Nutrition at Deakin University. 🎬 Watch the podcast on YouTube here 📱 Download The Doctor’s Kitchen app 🌐 View full show notes, including guest details, on our website ☕️ Try Exhale Coffee here 🥗 Join the newsletter and receive a 7 day meal plan 📷 Follow on Instagram Hosted on Acast.
