What 3 Cardiologists Do EVERY Day to Protect Their OWN Hearts

What do cardiologists actually do every day to protect their own hearts? In Part 2 of this 2-part conversation, I sit down with two cardiologists to break down their everyday habits, lifestyle choices, and prevention strategies they personally follow to lower their own risk of heart disease. From exercise, diet, sleep, and stress to CAC scans, statins, and GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, this discussion covers what really matters for long-term heart health — all in plain English. We also talk about why heart disease is still the #1 killer in the U.S., the biggest mistakes people make in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, and what people often misunderstand about prevention, cholesterol, and treatment today. If you want practical, real-world advice straight from heart doctors — this episode is for you.
