1/ 🧵 Can you reverse heart plaque?
Yes—and not just with meds.
Let’s walk through the top human trials showing how exercise, nutrition, and smart supplements can slow or even reverse plaque buildup.
A thread for your arteries… 🫀
2/ 🏃♂️ CENIT Trial (2022)
Supervised HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training)
📉 PAV shrank −1.2% per year
This isn’t casual walking—this is structured, high-effort cardio.
Result? Plaque regression.
Control group? No change.
3/ 💪 Cardiac Rehab Studies
Regular exercise improves artery function and slows plaque growth.
When combined with other therapies, it can lead to actual regression.
Movement is medicine

Having looked at 10,000+ CGMs let me tell you what you will learn...
1/9
Lesson 1: Hidden carbs are everywhere
- you will find hidden sugar & carbs everywhere.
You didnt know you could find carbs/sugar but you will:
hotdogs, sausage, beef jerky, spices, condiments, sauces, soups, broths, basically everywhere you didnt look.
2/9
Lesson 2: consider avoiding seed oils, vegetables oils, especially from restaurants.
Patients who switch to olive oil and avocado oil & hoke cooking seem to have improvement not otherwise explainable on CGMs

🦎 The Gila monster (Heloderma suspectum), a unique lizard known for its binge-eating behavior, produces the hormone exenatide, the basis for diabetes medications such as Ozempic and Mounjaro.
This reptile stores significant amounts of energy in its fatty, moisture-rich tail, aiding in weight and hydration maintenance. The GLP-1 hormone is exclusively released from its saliva through the act of chewing. When liquified food is injected directly into its stomach, the hormone is not released, highlighting the importance of chewing in this process. GLP-1 is thought to signal satiety and help regulate blood glucose levels during digestion. The Gila monster consumes large quantities of food relative to its body weight, often ingesting whole rodents and digesting them over 1-2 months.
