    319: Heart Disease Prevention with Dr. Andrew Freeman
    Jul 7 2024
    Join my enlightening conversation with Dr. Andrew Freeman, a leading cardiologist and staunch advocate for plant-based nutrition, as he reveals the critical factors behind heart disease and unravels the myths surrounding diet and health. Dr. Freeman shares his personal transformation from unhealthy eating to becoming a plant-based champion, shedding light on the misinformation spread by the food industry and how to cut through the noise for a healthier lifestyle. Learn about the key health statistics you must know to evaluate your cardiovascular risk and the potential impact of endurance activities on heart health. We also tackle the underutilization of plant-based methods in cardiology, despite robust professional guidelines supporting these approaches. Dr. Freeman and I discuss the cognitive dissonance many face when it comes to diet and health, particularly in a society bombarded with processed foods. From hypertension to rare cardiovascular conditions, we emphasize the power of lifestyle medicine and share practical strategies for communicating these life-changing approaches to patients. Finally, we delve into essential health metrics for adults to monitor, and tips for extreme athletes to safeguard their heart health while engaging in endurance activities.Dr. Freeman is a distinguished cardiologist and educator with a rich background in medicine and academia. He completed his internal medicine training at Brown University and earned his medical degree with research honors from SUNY Buffalo, following a summa cum laude graduation from Cornell University. Currently based at National Jewish Health, he serves as Director of Clinical Cardiology and Director of Cardiovascular Prevention and Wellness, alongside his role as Associate Professor of Medicine. Dr. Freeman is renowned for his advocacy of lifestyle medicine, notably through initiatives like the Walk with a Doc program in Denver, emphasizing exercise as medicine. A leader in his field, he contributes extensively to cardiovascular research, particularly on plant-based nutrition, and actively mentors medical students and professionals while promoting health education across Colorado.
