I Found Plaque in My Arteries at 30 | Here's What Happened Next.

Five years ago, I watched my dad pass away suddenly from a heart attack at just 54 years old. Since then, I've done everything I could to prioritize my health. I exercise, eat well, and live a lifestyle centered around longevity. But there was always one question I couldn't answer: What was actually happening inside my arteries? Through Hale, I underwent a Coronary Calcium CT Scan and comprehensive heart-specific bloodwork to better understand my cardiovascular risk. What I found surprised me. In this video, I sit down with preventive cardiologist Dr. Michael Blaha to discuss: • What a Coronary Calcium Score actually measures • Why bloodwork alone doesn't always tell the full story • My personal calcium score and blood test results • LDL, ApoB, Lp(a), and the biomarkers that matter most • Lifestyle changes that reduce cardiovascular risk • When medications may become part of prevention • Why knowing your numbers could change your future Whether you have a family history of heart disease or simply want to be proactive about your health, I hope this conversation encourages you to think about prevention before it's too late. 👉 Learn more about Hale and receive 25% off your Heart Health Assessment: https://www.joinhale.com/r/HALEE9HVHD TIMESTAMPS 00:00 My Story 02:15 Why I Decided to Get Tested 05:30 My Coronary Calcium Score 08:10 Interview with Dr. Michael Blaha 19:45 My Biggest Takeaways Follow along: Instagram:   / maudsleystrong   Facebook:   / maudsleystrong   TikTok:   / maudsleystrong   Medical Disclaimer: This video is intended for educational and informational purposes only and reflects my personal experience.
