🩺ABOUT DR. BREWER
Dr. Brewer started as an Emergency Doctor. After seeing too many preventable heart attacks, he went to Johns Hopkins to learn Preventive Medicine. While there, he went on the run the post-graduate training program (residency) in Preventive Medicine. From there, he made a career of practicing and managing preventive medicine and primary care clinics. His later role in this area was Chief Medical Officer for Premise, which has close to 1,000 primary care/prevention clinics. He was also the Chief Medical Officer for MDLIVE, the second largest telemedicine company. More recently, he founded PrevMed, a heart attack, and stroke prevention clinic.
At PrevMed, we focus on heart attack, stroke, and cognitive decline. We serve patients who have already experienced an event as well as those who have not developed a diagnosis or event. Dr. Brewer provides services via telemedicine or in-person if you're in the Lexington, KY area. We find a lot of undiagnosed prediabetes or insulin resistance. Treating unrecognized risk factors like prediabetes allows reduction of risk and prevention of disease.

What book were you referring to in the beginning?
Never mind… think I found it on Amazon! Title is “Prevention Myths” 😬
@@sabrinarush7706 everyone needs to read this book by Dr. Brewer. It's excellent
Thank you very much!
I had an HA at the beginning of June. I've lost 35lbs since then. Since February I have lost 70lbs. I have been severely overweight for over 2 decades. I do not plan on stopping until I lose another 120lbs. That will put me at 200lbs. You can do the math from above.
All I have done is eating healthy, rarely eating out (if I do it is someplace with healthy options (Thai Green Papaya Salad is a weekness), and getting plenty of aerobic exercise (walking 32-25 miles a week), and low weight/higher rep resistance exercise 3-4x a week.
I have 2 stents now. One in the Widowmaker, which was 100% blocked, and then the next one up on the left, which was 60% blocked.
Leading up to my HA, I was eating really bad and getting little quality exercise. Had I minded my doctor about my HBP they had been warning me about for the last 3-4 years, this could have been prevented and I'd be at or at least a lot closer to my target weight.
I am not dieting. I am not an exercise freak. I just make healthier eating choices and have controlled over eating, and I make sure I get 30-90 minutes of exercise 5-7 days a week. That's all it takes.
I just had a HA caused by an 80⁒ blockage of my LAD artery. After 2 stents inserted I can now walk uphill without being breathless. The doctor said I would be on blood thinners for a year and low dose aspirin forever. Blood thinners don't seem like a burden to me as they might help prevent another attack.
This is great information! I bought your Prevention Myths book. I understand that stents don't prevent heart attacks or stroke. However, I was having chest pain, and other heart symptoms like dizziness and fatigue. Having a stent placed relieved those symptoms and enabled me to exercise and be active again. Had I not had the angiogram, I would have led a sedentary life because of the symptoms.

Thanks for the comment. You are not alone. There clearly are patients that have said that stents relieved their angina.
Exactly. You can't be active if you're too sick to walk!
Stents work when they need to be used .. The problem is using them on patients when they dont need to be used .. an 80% blockage means a stent .. not 10%
I had a heart attack at 50 and 3 stents were put in. a dozen years later I was having similar symptoms that I had before my heart attack. All the tests that I had done showed no problems. After my insistence, because of my past history I was able to get a Cardiologist to sign off on getting another angioplasty. While on the table the Doctor said oh no this isn't going to work. I then had a triple bypass done. So prevention is better than a cure, but when there is no time for prevention, I will take the cure. If nothing else it gave me another 5 years.
A video on what to do after stents and bypass would be helpful.
Thank you very much!
@@PrevMedHealthI❤😮 love your pre med health....so logic and common sense.
And easy and comprehensive to understand
We are appreciated your efforts and energy to explain traditional science 🎉❤ well done
Adding to this , having a heart attack when supposedly very fit was a shock, 1 stent unblock the artery, no plaque found calcium only, evidence of repair,
Then a new treatment with a lazier, 4 more stents, poor advice I got for lifestyle change, as I was not fat in my view but not told of low carb options, 4 years on learning my problem was most likely pre diabetes, Keto has changed my body for sure
Eating fat now, still hard to find support other than online ,
These doctors understand
I think the first stent was necessary but not sure about the others , think I was a Guinea pig for the lazier treatment 17 doctors watched
Over 25 years I have lost 85 lbs. (about 33% of body weight) fast walked 4-5 miles most of that time, made major dietary alterations (although not Very Low Carb until the last year). I have a very low stress life at 69. Recently, I had cardiac Cath and had 1 100 % blocked artery and two 80% blocked arteries. I have Type 2 Diabetes for about 25 years and hypertension (controlled with medication.) My calcium scoring test was 2460, but I have no obvious symptoms (no chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting, headaches.) My most recent AG1C was 6.1 (from a high of 10.3 four years ago after injury after being struck by a car.). My doctor recommends open heart surgery, which I probably will be having soon. I guess my question is most of those negative results are because of those bad old days. All of the efforts of the last 25 years were not in vain?
I had my first STEMI at 43 subsequently had a stent placed. It failed a year later and had a second stent placed it failed three days later and I was left with a single bypass. Mind you I’m a super active Firefighter who regularly surfs hikes hunts and did CrossFit 3-4 times a week and Jiu Jitsu as frequently. I’m 6’3 220lbs with a six pack of abs.
Most fireflies I know get retired after hart problems
i had a triple bypass a couple years ago. what i noticed was that there's a kind of war between internist, who recommend stents, and surgeons, who recommend bypass. i choose bypass, cause its one and done, while i would have need 3 procedures for 3 stents and with stents i would have had to stay on blood thinners for rest of my life with no guarantee that the stents wouldn't clog. and, actually, i didn't do it for me, i did it for my wife's and mom's peace of mind. i had no symptoms at all. the only reason they discovered the blockage was cause i had an afib incident during my yearly ECG but i didn't even have typical symptoms of afib, only occasional heart rate spkes when using the elliptical machine. if not for my wife and mom, i may have opted to try and manage my disease as i understand that there is a treatment to grow coranary arteries (mine had actually grown to cover my blockage) and drugs in the pipeline to dissolve blockages. if i had this video then i might have convinced them otherwise. oh well, i choose what i choose, ymmv.
Hello, what is the name of the drug, that dissolves the plaque?
Just had a by pass, and it was terrible three weeks out now.
How many Doctor ignore what patience are telling them...???
I realize this is a older video but I just watched it & it was EXCELLENT!! Thank You !
The thing that caused the most anxiety was entering the health industry. Pushing and trying to trick me into stents. Felt like used car sales tacticts. I had a hypnotherapy practice in Bradenton Fl. I know sales when I hear it.
Thanks for another insightful talk , your motivation is obvious a true caring to help others 🏆

I refused a stent and alternatively asked for EECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation). I was excoriated by the medical staff, ignored by the cardiologist and immediately refused this non-invasive option. It was a very tramatic medical experience.
Thanks for sharing. I agree with the team that EECP shows little evidence of helping. But that's no reason to excoriated a patient.
& by the way, I can certainly understand your reason for declining the stent.
@@PrevMedHealth I disagree completely, I have triple vessel disease and bough an at home EECP it has helped a lot, I just needed many more treatments than the typical protocol. It is absolutely part of my recovery plan and the plan is working 9 month later.
@@jgclifford9262 where did you get a home eecp machine I could not find by googleing.
Dear Dr, Thank you for your Lecture! ❤ Doctors refuse to do Kraft Insulin Resistance Tests for either Medicaid or Medicare & Medicaid Patients, even commercially insurared through their company employees plans... They either want an advanced desease development and then treatment of much sicker patients or not allowed to treat Pre-Diabetes and Weight Management and PREVENT DESEASE...
Triple bypass at 42 in 2022,im a work horse and lean.Standard american diet is killing us.Fda should be ashamed for allowing the stuff in the grocery stores

What about when you have peripheral artery disease or aortic stenosis?
My dad smoked unfiltered Camel cigarettes for over 30 years. He quit at 45. At 70 the doc said he needed a bypass. He got it and lived healthy till he died at 93. A guy at work smoked a lot. Doc told him he needed a stent. He didnt get it. He cut his grass one hot day then sat in a recliner while his wife cooked supper. When she went to get him he had died of heart attack.
But what when you've already had a heart attack.¿don't stents an bypasses make the bllod flow again?
I had no choice by the time I got up I already had two stents. I didn’t get to pick to have them they were already put in.
Could this be that usa 🇺🇸 medical system is all about money ?
Here in Europe a surgeon wanted to operate on both my shoulders it was a private insurance . He said when you do the op you come to me …….
FWIW.....watching the entire presentation you provide good information, but the constantly self promoting is a turn off.
What does healthy life style mean?
Great,great,great info doc.
I'd take the stent to mitigate 70-90% occlusion in the LAD. The LAD is not called "the widow maker" for nothing. There's not time to leave it up to solely the diet and exercise.

Is that all you ever say join our debate !!!!
Metformin is used to treat diabetes, I have it and they are thinking about doing stents
Hello from Arizona!My dad is 85yr old. Has 90% blockage in right artery in his neck. Just found out they think is best bet is stents. Relative good health but does have bp issues. What are your thoughts?
You present this incorrectly. Sometimes there is no other choice than a stent or cabg.
Why I have many friends who did bypass and live another 20 years then only get another clogged
Best is to have a prolonged fasting. 7 days prolonged fasting immediately
Bobby. I jhsd21 days Water Only fasting
@@internationalarbitration2513hi, I would like to know more about your experience after you had 21 days water only fasting. At the moment I am on one meal (plant based) a day with medication. I feel stable for the last 6 weeks but want to go further, water only diet if helps
What is the title to the NYT article you mention about stents?
The best Toothpaste is Revatin
can i get links to the study (ies) that show no reduction in all cause mortality?
If one has stenosis again where you had a stent earlier, it appears both another stent at that location or bypass might not be viable choices. What would be a good Plan C?

My dad had several stents placed near each other because of plaque. He had plaque regardless of low cholesterol. I wonder what his apob and ap(a) were? He did have autoimmune inflammations.
What does he consider a high sugar???
Costs LESS to change your diet and life style.
while much of this is important, along with nutrition; when one has several blocks or high blocks, it is alittle late for alternatives to fix that without many of these medical procedures' too. risk still involved, and prevention can come from many reasons with such too. i think it it depends how bad one blocked. life style with it then could save life cause lifestyle and natural takes time. Some dont have that time. sure lifestyle is the answer, but also talking about those 70%+ blockages or suppose to be for stent. i am one who believes in natural and cured stage 4 with natural. NYT IS A JOKE... WISH YA KEPT THAT OUT. LOL STILL INTERESTING video. thanks for sharing. just keep in mind, TIME IT TAKES IN NATURAL VS BLOCKAGE STENT TO GIVE YOU MORE TIME. THERE IS THE REAL ANSWER! if one can't stop smoking/eating, go get hypnotized by lis PHD. it is a very high success rate.
Pls don’t misleading heart’s patients, God watching
