Doctors Gave Him 4 Years To Live: How A Biochemist REVERSED His Heart Disease - With Patrick Theut

Full show notes: BenGreenfieldLife.com/healthyheart

In this episode, I’m re-airing my conversation with biochemist and engineer Patrick Theut about how he cleared the plaque from his own heart. Patrick was 48, winning 5Ks and playing ice hockey when he passed every test in a Mayo Clinic physical, then asked for one more scan they said he didn’t need. It came back with his left main artery lit up, and a cardiologist gave him four years to live. I went through something very similar myself, which is why this one stuck with me.

You’ll hear how gut bacteria help make vitamin K, how a common antibiotic can wipe them out, the health crash that sent his calcium score soaring, and the vanadium protocol he used to rebuild his pancreas, plus my company’s bitter melon blood sugar formula, Kion Lean. We get into the statin experiment he ran on himself, why vitamin K may help athletes train harder, what to know if you take blood thinners like warfarin, and his bare-minimum protocol, from magnesium (use code BEN15 for 15% off) and vitamin D to vitamin C.

We close with his take on statins, the heart marker he thinks matters next, his once-a-day eating, and the fermented Paleovalley beef sticks (use code PVFRIEND15 for 15% off) I’ve been working my way through. If you want to try Patrick’s vitamin K blend for yourself, you can find Koncentrated K here.
