- Опубликовано: 8 июн 2024
- Could we eliminate the number one cause of death? Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly go to medical school to learn about heart health, the impacts of COVID, and the cardiovascular disease epidemic with physician and founder of SITA Med, Dr. Lipi Roy.
How can we live to be 150 years old? We discuss whether eliminating the number one cause of death would extend our lifespans. Learn about the different ways the heart can get broken and steps you can take to live more heart healthy. What are marijuana and alcohol’s effects on the cardiovascular system?
We go through the top five misunderstood things about the heart. Do men and women have the same heart attack symptoms? Learn how COVID-19 affects the cardiovascular system and whether the vaccine is behind the current uptick in heart problems. Can you reverse heart conditions once they start?
What percentage of heart disease is congenital? Find out about gene therapy and the state of cardiovascular research. We also break down our approach to medicine and how we all can have better health outcomes. We get to the heart of the problem on another episode of StarTalk.
Thanks to our Patrons Kaleda Davis, Saúl Franco, Jake Egli, Josh Rolstad, Roxanne Landin, jamie brutnell, and Bailey Manasco for supporting us this week.

What steps are you taking for a heart-healthy life?
I cut salt out. Plus plenty of smoke breaks. The kind that relieves stress. ;-P
@@NousTrapperdon’t forget keeping your tin foil hat on at all times to prevent the satanic cabals from mind controlling you into voting for Hunter Obama. Right ?
Maintaining muscular mass, supplementing adequate levels of Vitamin D & Vitamin K2-MK4, & avoiding processed foods & seed oils.
deep breaths instead of simmering anger. focus on love instead of hate.
I actively identify my fears & learn how to respond to them in healthy, helpful ways. Stress reduction/response in the big picture. ❤
I'm still alive because I went to see my doctor for a "bad cold". A week in the hospital with pneumonia and A fib. The years of smoking and drinking had taken their toll. I've been sober and smoke free for about four months, and more than happy to tell you. Take care everyone.
I think she is gonna die like her dad either because of her genes or being Indian or being black, other than that she was useless helping her dad who never had a steak.
Yeah but we dont know you so it dont matter
🎉 Gj man, I’m 2 years sober from drugs, 4 months from tobacco
A friend of mine smokes 20 cigs a day. He’s been trying to quit but even after 6 hours of not smoking he gets uneasy. Is there anything that has helped you stay sober that I could tell him about? I don’t smoke so I don’t have any advice for him
@@vikingthedude My doctor put me on patches, they really help with the cravings. Also avoid the triggers, myself I had to stop drinking at the same time, you know a beer and a smoke. Another was (is) driving I just could not have them in the car. Lastly self motivation I have five grandchildren I'm not done watching grow up.
My father was diagnosed with high blood pressure so I asked him how he was going to change his lifestyle. Was he going to walk or exercise? Decrease alcohol and stop smoking? He answered “No, the doctor gave me a pill.”
Ha, insane isn’t it? A pill for every ill and people buy into the nonsense doctors and big pharma spew 24/7. I know people who take 20 to 30 different pills a day! It’s really dumb
My dad reacted the same way. He was diagnosed with cholesterol and I asked him which diet he was going to follow and he says “I’m following the diet of not starving” 🤦🏻♀️
a banana a day. Watch your blood pressure improve!
Its not about living longer.
Its about being healthy longer.
We have the ability to keep people alive much longer than in the past, but they are in pain, can't walk a block to save their life, and need multiple medications and someone to feed and clean them on a daily basis.
Dr. Peter Atia summed your summation up well: We are striving for life span AND health span. 💪🏾
I think a lot of people miss the connection between oral health and heart health.
Right
100%.
My partner today, (I work in EMS), is married to a dental hygienist with all _kinds_ of certifications under her belt. She has spoken many _many_ times on the correlation between oral disease, (and poor oral hygiene in general), and cardiovascular issues. And it's not only the 'poor oral health leads to heart attacks' to consider. She's also had to reschedule people who were coming in for cleanings after having heart surgeries. The cleaning can inadvertently cause an infection and the risk to a recently stressed heart is way too high.
The American diet is like 80% dairy. I don’t think flossing is gong to make that much of a difference
Like most American insurance companies, for example?
I understand oral but how do you give him heart?
Stress is horrendous on the body.
True story... Too much stress (and related health issues) forced me to retire at age 58 from real estate after navigating the '07-'08 mortgage crisis. Three years later, after moving to the tropics, my natural hair color had almost replaced much of my grey hair. There is nothing that compares to a stress-free lifestyle!
Healthcare is for the privileged in this country. The industry makes sure of it.
Neil, you are astonishingly brilliant in almost every single aspect (emotional intelligence might be the only exception 😂), but adding Chucky and Gary's contribution to the team is what keeps all episodes interesting. Every guest you guys bring widens my knowledge in a different aspect. Thank you for enlightening the world with humor in such a challenging moment of History.
Reducing inflammation seems to make a big difference, I went on an elimination diet and monitored tests for things like CRP, ESR, and WBC. Ended up on a very low carb diet that was mostly beef and salt, eggs, some seafood , cheese, only pickled/fermented veggies, and occasionally a little fruit. All of my health markers, especially triglycerides, HDL, blood pressure, and overall bodyweight are now significantly better.
This is the proper human diet. Very well done.
Nice man! Having the willpower to healthy is really something to be proud of. Especially in today’s world with all the unhealthy food options that are pushed on us.
My heart health and test scores have remarkably improved because abt 1 year ago, I started following the WFPb (whole food plant based) lifestyle. Off all meds, reversal of pre-diabetes. I am working on building my microbiome, and study the research and read the books of Dr. Sunil Pai, Dr. Kim Williams, Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, Dr. William Li, and many others.
It’s a beautiful thing isn’t it? I did it for 3 years and cured so many ailments, starting eating anima foods again and the diseases and weight gain came right back. I’m going back to it hopefully soon and I want to live the rest of my life plant based. Its best for us, the environment, and obviously the animals who suffer so much for really no good reason at all
Touchy subject..4 years ago I quit smoking, 2 weeks later I suffered a massive heart attack and underwent quadruple bypass graft surgery, I've smoked most of my life and not really had any problems other than shortness of breath and some chest pains but after that surgery my outlook on things changed, I had to give up my job as a chef because it was too stressful, the changes don't stop there...
so bad lifestyle requires keeping up too - is that your point?
Withdrawal symptoms are real!
@@necroshy yes they are...as an addict, this I definitely know.
Great episode! And I love Chuck so much
. I was a CHF case manager for a large health organization. I have worked in cardiology clinic and exercise for health programs. I think overall it’s looking at your risk factors. Great info on AHA website too about risk factors. This includes family history so you start there and then you look at ideal BMI (rather than standard weight) and if you have hypertension you want to monitor it looking for trend. Know your health goals like what does your doctor want to see plus or minus 10 just so you can keep your blood pressure in good range most of the time. If you have diabetes it’s important to be monitoring your hemoglobin A1C which reflects the average blood sugar over the past 3 months. Diabetics are at nearly DOUBLE the risk for heart attacks and strokes. Untreated hypertension used to be called “The silent killer”. This is one reason to have it checked from time to time or when you see your doctor. 🤷🏼♀️
I remember Jim Fisk.
Dr Lipi Roy is the best guest yet. 10 out of 10 for knowledge, communication and enthusiasm. I am hanging off every word. Great episode
This doctor is completely lying, she is absolutely lying about the harm being caused by the toxic gene therapies... No amount of head burying can change the facts and the harm they've all caused...
She is a main stream politician !
@thalesnemo2841 Are you a mainstream freedom fighter?
@@PaulUsypchuk
I see English is your second language!
@thalesnemo2841 it is, . Are you triggered by that?
Went low carb, grain free diet. Lost 100 lbs and all my chronic issues disappeared. Added in cardio exercise 5-6 days a week. Now I'm 62 and competing in triathlons. The Standard American Diet, a.k.a. SAD, that dieticians push is the first step that is killing people. Statins are useless. Weight loss drugs are a temporary stop gap that fails. You are what you eat.
Drop the cardio down to one day and replace with weight training.
Department of Defense (DOD) had $1.80 Trillion distributed among its 6 sub-components this year. It’s so frustrating hearing there is little to no money available to go into research that would potentially save millions of lives and people can’t afford certain medications.
Thank you for another great informative discussion!
Enjoyed listening to important info. in light-hearted mode. Thank you.
If only I could afford healthcare here.. but atleast we have the best military! /s
Thank you dr.Tyson for your show you make my day greetings from Greece,i enjoy every one of your scientists you call,mr.chuck nice,and of cours your view and comments
Great guest! She explained clearly for all of us that are not doctors.
Neil and Chuck for 2024!
This was a great conversation topic with a great group of professionals. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Thanks, great show today!
Exactly how I feel Chuck 😊
The most astonishing thing I've heard in a long time is that there are 60,000 miles of arteries in our hearts.
What's even more astonishing is that is not what you heard.
She said 60000 mi. of blood vessels, which includes arteries, veins and capillaries.
@@47f0 that's not a fact either - it's in the body, not heart
@@sangeet9100 - Just quoting the doctor @21:58- 60,000 miles of blood vessels in the heart.
Doctor Tyson can be a stickler for details. He once nagged James Cameron into compositing a corrected starfield for the re-release of Titanic. You should tell him his guest doesn't know what she's talking about.
@@47f0 an obvious slip of the tongue and she sure knows the fact
You all make learning fun.
This is such a great channel.
I had a triple bypass 2 years ago at 52 and I was very healthy. Mine was due to genetics. My mother died of a heart attack at 62. I wouldn’t have even known I had an issue if it wasn’t for working on my fitness. The day I went in for surgery, I felt great. Hard to believe I had a heart issue. But the surgeon said that if I wouldn’t have come in because I was having issues during my workouts, I wouldn’t have woke up one morning.
Heart disease is NOT genetic. And anyone (including doctors) that tell you otherwise I highly suggest you stop listening to them because they’re idiots
Dr. Lepi Roy is eloquent and fantastic. An informative powerhouse.
Thank-you!
Would someone please explain to me about the excess deaths occurring across the world.? After receiving the covid vaccine.?
What a Wonderful, Lively and Humourous Discourse on a most Interesting and Important subject. Teaching with humour is most effective. Brilliant discourse. Thank you guys. Cheers from Michael. Australia.
amazing.. thank yoi
Excellent episode! ❤
I appreciate this so much from you guys ❤💓💗
Chuck’s rant is exactly the same rant that I’ve been screaming since 2020 to my family, friends, and coworkers who were dumb enough to believe that politicians knew more than actual medical experts and then refused to take the necessary precautions to protect themselves and their fellow human beings. It’s hurts me so deeply to say that some of those folks who I ranted to ended up losing their lives because of the misinformation that was being spread by politicians.
Yeeeup
In the Netherlands the Minister of Health stated: "We gonna jab us out of the pandemic" and "you take the vaccine for granny". These statements were not opposed by any scientisist until a Pfizer spokesman declared that the vaccines will not prevent spread of sars-cov2 but will only make the symptons less severe. Scientists should have taken the stand and said that you cannot stop a fast mutating virus with a vaccine. That was already common knowledge. So the strategy should have been to offer the vaccines to the vulnarable people, centainly not mandating the jabs for healthy young people. Average covid mortality was 81 years in the Netherlands and the UK. I am not covid vaccinated but have no problems with a vaccine for a slow or non-mutating virus.
This episode was thoroughly enjoyable
21:40 Laughter is also good for your gut biome.
Zang Chuck!! More research is needed 🎉
Good for you chuck im glad to see a man with passion
I'm glad to know we are stuck with you, Chuck. Fix that heart, bro
What a wonderful discussion
More please!
Great guest great info
I'm happy you are having these conversations.
I'd love you to have Dr Vinay Prasad on.
I think a conversation with you world be enlightening.
I absolutely loved Chuck's rant at the end
Sorry to say, he made it political with that rant! 🙃
Thanks so much for this chanel👍👍👍
Enlightening!
Great episode. Thank you ❤
I love how the thumbnail is a little click-baity to draw the conspiracy theorists in, only to get educated by facts. Thank you much for this great discussion, and also for the cardiological terminology--as a Cardiology PACS admin it helps me to grow my knowledge of the terminology, like LVH.
From experience, most won’t get that far into it. But even if one does decide to do a little more of their own learning based on this presentation, the episode was worth it.
Except there wasn't any scientific facts, at all, they were just preaching. I didn't hear a shred of evidence how the mass trial testing was accomplished within such a short period of time. If you truly don't understand why the general public was uneasy then you need to relisten and be objective. Trials typically take a long time and don't require emergency orders. Science doesn't care about your opinions
Nothing that is legit has to be forced on the public.
Great doctor.
Dr Roy...a knowledgeable and delightful person, and apparently a big Leafs fan, with the sticker on the phone and 2 emblems on the walls. Go Leafs Go!
Excellent Info and Good Fun..
Finally a face to Gary..i listen to the pod ,nice to see it
This is a science show 🗣️- Chuck ❤
This is right up my alley of good info. I'm an RN who worked Cardiac Progressive until I got too I'm too work! Genetics!
I like to keep my knowledge up to date!
So excellent
30:08 I have never loved hearing a rant so passionate as the one Chuck did here 😂
You tell em!
I'm not sure if they've done this but I would love an episode devoted to Chuck getting things off his chest about fanmail
Don't get the vaccine Don't trust the federal government or its agencies because they have been all lies they have done experiments on their citizens they have put everything into harm's way and they only look out for themselves personally and their families
I've gone into cardiac arrest during at least one of my seizures (the grand mal type) that I've had this year. Which is why I'm now on anti-seizure medication. Doctors couldn't tell me why they were happening, both MRI and EEG tests indicate that there's nothing abnormal going on. But because of my metabolism, I have to take 2-3 more medication than the average person and according to the results of the various blood tests that I've had, may still not be high enough to control them properly. Otherwise according to their examinations, my heart is in excellent condition.
Gracias
I quit smoking and eat healthier but still crave everything bad because of a chronic existential crisis.
Am watching the show to the end
Jim Fixx had an autopsy, about as scientific as it gets! It showed triple vessel coronary artery disease, modifiable with risk factor reduction! That’s not congenital heart disease. I’m old enough to remember the initial running boom and Jim Fixx as well. Thanks for the excellent series.
This show is good for my ❤️
Love the rational dialogue backed by facts in an evidence based cauldron. Thx.
11:00 chuck, smoking pot is inadvisable to ensuring optimally functioning cardiovascular health. eating pot is the way to go.
The stresses of life, whether we are low on the income scale or even at the top of it, go a long way toward causing cardio vascular disease, even w/o tobacco, alcohol or all the other bad things that are allowed to be put into food.
Well after' Laughing' through this thoroughly enjoyable 47-minuts I'm totally relaxed and my heart is smiling..😊.
Thanks for the fun and information.
A-fib and atrial flutter are very similar. The difference lies on how the heart chambers are misfiring. In a-fib the chambers are beating in an uncoordinated manner. In atrial flutter, the atria are beating at an exact multiple of the base heart rate (2 to 4 beats of the atria to one beat of the ventricles) That's why the heart appears to beat at 200-300 bpm. Its quite scary but is treatable with cardioversion and catheter ablation heart surgery.
Fascinating show. Cardio vascular essentially covers almost everything outside of cancer. Genetic predisposition is a major element which virtually cannot be overcome - delayed to a degree but not overcome. Simplistically healthy eating (not easy in the USA as food packaging is misleading - including the ‘heart healthy’ promotion), exercise (not over-exercise which brings its own problems) and a better work-life balance (again very difficult in the American work obsessed- or should that be oppressed - culture) can help. It probably makes life more enjoyable, too.
I went through a quadruple open-heart bypass in August 2020. I had afib during my recovery. That sucked!
How are you feeling after the procedure?
I always had good labs , BP was always low . I had a ultrasound on my Carotids and found out I I Severe Arteriosclerosis . What happened to me ? How was this not detected earlier ?
Sorry to hear that buddy!
What a treat! She was nice to have on!
I keep being surprised COVID is still around, yesterday someone who I was at an 18 hour long tournament with on Saturday tested poeitive for COVID, now I'm worried I infected my band since I play a wind instrument, and I'm at college in a dorm with 2 roommates, the 3 of us live in 1 room there's not really any way to social distance. I'm especially worried because I've been procrastinating getting a booster, now I'm worried that might've been a huge mistake
take a test.

I don’t like Mondays is one of favourite 80s track… :)
Who made this guy an expert on everything?
The joke about covid-19 is that the "19" stands for the pounds you put on, sitting around at home. Not only was/is there the virus itself, but there's been almost a vast experiment in a great increase of sedentary-ness, binge eating and unhealthy eating, drinking alcohol, all sorts of things including increased stress. What I'm saying is a lot of his may not be because of the virus directly.
That's what she said the uptick in alcohol consumption during covid all of those are factors but if u do those things AND get covid it's not gonna be good
I have an unproven theory: Blushing is good for the circulation and ultimately your health. The causes of blushes (embarrassment, excitement, shyness, etc) are overwhelming emotions creating responses in the body. Learning a level of comfort in the emotions that causes blushes helps me think more rationally by reducing the “gut” reactions as a first response choice. So I think everyone should be quick to blush & embrace their humanity fully for a healthier life.😊
However, Blushing from alcohol is a sign of your body doesn’t have the enzyme to fully process alcohol, leaving the toxic semi processed aldehyde in your blood.
@@artemisma2746 I hadn’t thought about that. I don’t drink often enough to know that blushing occurs when drinking. I know ruddy skin happens in those who abuse alcohol intakes, is that the blushing part?
@@kariannecrysler640 yes! Some people get a flushed face when drunk or while drinking.
Agree so much about emotional regulation and acceptance. Important to embrace our own humanity absolutely. It grows our empathy for self and others. Life skills. ❤
You have a hypothesis. Come back when it's actually a theory.

Specifically related to the workplace.

The problem is not that heart disease runs in your family.
The problem is nobody runs in your family.
I am a huge fan of yours!
I can't belive it. a new star talk just dropped it is an amazing day
I was so sick with flu before I was vaccinated. I am a CMA and should have known better. I was so sick from the flu as was my family that we have never missed our flu vaccines since.
Had the flu very bad when I was 20. That was the Hong-Kong flu if I remember correctly, in the 70ties. Never had a bad flu ever since, just some mild ones. Never taken a flu vaccine.
my charts also show my lymphocytes dropped from good high, to close to caution low, to good low…
Wow......unbelievable!
I love her, bring her back soon! 🎉
You tell em Chuck! Great episode as always!
Just enjoy life when you are young. What joy is there in being old for so long?
Agree with Chuck at @29:11 on flu. Got it once real bad 10 years ago. Vaccinating ever since.
I like how Chuck has his “go to” heart pic hanging on the wall 😂
weird thing about discombobulation when your head feels like it’s not on straight and your center of balance leans to far away from your center gravity where you cannot walk straight. i laid flat on the ground and turn my head to the right, and i was trailing with vertigo… i turn my head to the left and it wasn’t that bad…
mind you this was back in February or December🤷♂️… also when I decided to paint the shed in the hot weather for 8 hours… Apparently the AC was on and the house was cold giving me a fever shiver for about 5 minutes as my body was catching up with it… like someone dunk me into an ice bath and my body failed to regulate it’s temp. the first time this happen i was just walking around the house and it felt warm upstairs as i tried to fall asleep i felt nauseous and then got the chills… i sat on the couch and blogged about it on facebook noticing the blood underneath my eye lids had vanish from the blood vessels which looked palish pink lol….
with my lipid panel i am sure the vaccine sort of puts your progenitor cells to sleep 😂 I am pretty positive but after years of misery i feel better…
Very very informative .... Thank you for this special edition. One request ... let each speaker talk and finish their sentences ... it is hard to understand if there is a lot of cross talk...thank you.
Thank you Chuck for saying what I was thinking mate 😂
If many covid issues are related to an immunological response rather than the infection itself, why would the vaccine not also trigger some of those issues? Much like when some people feel mildly sick, even develop fevers after getting various traditional vaccines.
Good points. One reason why the virus, but less likely the vaccine, could trigger an undesirable immunological reaction is that modern vaccines are made up of virus sub-components, and not the complete virus that’s made up of hundreds/thousands of components. By selecting a single component, it’s possible to evaluate if that single component can have an unwanted effect in humans, while still eliciting a desirable, protective immunological response.
The downside to sub component vaccines is that they are extremely targeted to a narrow range of virus structures, so if the virus changes that component, the vaccine is less effective.
27:55 Lol...Yeah, Chuck, I was immediately thinking the same thing about Canada...😅
