1
00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Everybody. Welcome, it is July fifteenth. Already we're going to

2
00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:13.759
<v Speaker 1>talk about your last cardiac test. You go to cardiologist,

3
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:21.600
<v Speaker 1>heart issues, blood pressure, congestion, on a statin drug. Whatever

4
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:25.559
<v Speaker 1>standard cardiac testing fails to capture certain information. We're going

5
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>to try to share that with you so you've got

6
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:30.879
<v Speaker 1>a better insight to prevent yourself from being a casualty.

7
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:34.280
<v Speaker 1>All right, stay tuned, hi, and welcome to Health Talk

8
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:37.439
<v Speaker 1>with Doctor Lynn. Your daily dose. The information you hear

9
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:40.320
<v Speaker 1>on the show is informational. It's not meant to diagnose

10
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:45.039
<v Speaker 1>or treat any disease. Any kind of complete health conditions

11
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:49.359
<v Speaker 1>must be checked out and discussed with your primary care physician.

12
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Get ready for the good news of the day. God

13
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:56.679
<v Speaker 1>bless you, folks, and here is doctor Lynn. Our daily

14
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 1>devotional take comes from the Book of Matthew, Chapter six.

15
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.479
<v Speaker 1>Do not worry about tomorrow. That's not a suggestion, but

16
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.599
<v Speaker 1>a command. I divided time into days and nights so

17
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:09.120
<v Speaker 1>that you would have manageable portions of life to handle.

18
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:13.519
<v Speaker 1>My grace is sufficient for you, but its sufficiency is

19
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:16.200
<v Speaker 1>only one day at a time. When you worry about

20
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:18.959
<v Speaker 1>the future, you heap day upon day of troubles under

21
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:22.480
<v Speaker 1>your flimsy frame. You stagger unto the heavy load which

22
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:25.959
<v Speaker 1>I never intended you to carry. Throw off this oppressive

23
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:30.040
<v Speaker 1>burden with one quick thrust of trust. Anxious thoughts meander

24
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.439
<v Speaker 1>about and criss crossing your brain, but trusting me brings

25
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.359
<v Speaker 1>you directly into my presence. As you thus affirm your faith,

26
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:42.400
<v Speaker 1>shackles of worry fall off. Instantly, enjoy my presence continually

27
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.079
<v Speaker 1>by trusting me at all times. Stay tuned.

28
00:02:15.000 --> 00:03:03.759
<v Speaker 2>Chin seven two seven nine one six four two one

29
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:05.199
<v Speaker 2>five the number to reach me off air.

30
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.400
<v Speaker 1>If your last cardiac workup came back normal and you

31
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>still don't feel right, you're not imagining it. The standard

32
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:16.120
<v Speaker 1>measurements may not be capturing what's wrong. James fifty eight,

33
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.639
<v Speaker 1>a working architect, came to my office two weeks after

34
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.759
<v Speaker 1>his cardiologists had told him everything looked fine. His cholesterol

35
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:26.520
<v Speaker 1>was borderline, his blood pressure a little high but acceptable,

36
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:29.919
<v Speaker 1>and his stress test was normal. Yet he can no

37
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.479
<v Speaker 1>longer climb the two flights of stairs to his studio.

38
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>That's stopping on the landing to catch his breath. Three

39
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:37.159
<v Speaker 1>or four nights a week he woke up at three

40
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>am with his start pounding he had stopped traveling for

41
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:44.080
<v Speaker 1>it because long flights left him uncomfortable. Eight months later,

42
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:47.639
<v Speaker 1>James was climbing those stairs without stopping. A key blood

43
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:50.560
<v Speaker 1>marker for arterial disease had fallen from a dangerous level

44
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.479
<v Speaker 1>to a healthy one. His heart rate variability, one of

45
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>the strongest predictors of cardiovaskar health available in medicine, had

46
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:01.360
<v Speaker 1>nearly doubled. He had at last allowed himself to grieve

47
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.120
<v Speaker 1>a loss that quietly driven his symptoms for four years,

48
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:07.960
<v Speaker 1>none of which appeared in the original work up. Heart

49
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:10.599
<v Speaker 1>disease remains one of the leading causes of death in

50
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:14.439
<v Speaker 1>most industrialized countries, and a substantial portion of patients who

51
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>suffer a first cardiac event had no prior diagnosis of

52
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:23.199
<v Speaker 1>heart disease. Standard cholesterol panels, EKGs, and even stress tests

53
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:27.639
<v Speaker 1>routinely miss the warning signs that matter the most. Millions

54
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:31.079
<v Speaker 1>of patients walk around with advanced arterial disease and they

55
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:35.839
<v Speaker 1>know nothing about it. In this clinical experience, the cardiovascar's

56
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:39.240
<v Speaker 1>system is the most legible system in the body. Once

57
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.199
<v Speaker 1>a clinician knows how to read it, the heart and

58
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:46.360
<v Speaker 1>the ardors respond measurably and quickly to inflammation, metabolic state,

59
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:50.319
<v Speaker 1>nervous system balance, and the quality of a patient's emotional life.

60
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:54.680
<v Speaker 1>None of that requires special technology to assess, yet most

61
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:58.800
<v Speaker 1>of it's not included in a standard cardiology workoup. After

62
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.199
<v Speaker 1>thirty years in medicine, of to believe that no single

63
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:06.399
<v Speaker 1>specialty can on its own protect the heart, I have

64
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:09.800
<v Speaker 1>found useful to examine four dimensions of at once, which

65
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:14.160
<v Speaker 1>I call the Acees model, anatomy, chemistry, energy, and soul.

66
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.000
<v Speaker 1>It's a clinical framework formed by both Western medicine and

67
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:22.399
<v Speaker 1>traditional Chinese medicine. The first thing to understand is the

68
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:25.240
<v Speaker 1>heart does not float freely. It sits inside a rib cage,

69
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:27.439
<v Speaker 1>and the shape of the cage determines how the heart

70
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.959
<v Speaker 1>can fill in empty with every beat. Forward, head posture,

71
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:35.000
<v Speaker 1>rounded shoulders, and the shallow chest, high breathing that defines

72
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>modern desk life all compress the cage, restrict movement of

73
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:41.800
<v Speaker 1>the diaphragm, and force the heart to work harder for

74
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:46.839
<v Speaker 1>every ounce of blood it moves. The diaphragm deserves special attention.

75
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:51.279
<v Speaker 1>It's effectively the second pump of the cardiovascular system. With

76
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:54.959
<v Speaker 1>every breath, the diaphragm drops and creates the pressure change

77
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:58.160
<v Speaker 1>pulls venus blood toward the heart and moves emphatic fluid

78
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:02.519
<v Speaker 1>through the chest. Patients degree shallowly all day, which is

79
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:06.279
<v Speaker 1>what most patients do operate with. Chronically sluggish venus return

80
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:10.439
<v Speaker 1>and emphatic drainage, the heart's workload rises, and the puffy, congested,

81
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:15.839
<v Speaker 1>perpetually tired state so common in midlife sets in. So

82
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:19.199
<v Speaker 1>what do you do? Retrain the breath, practice slow breathing,

83
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:26.480
<v Speaker 1>open the chest daily, address the structure directly. The structure

84
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:29.800
<v Speaker 1>problems are long standing. Hands on manual therapy of the

85
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.519
<v Speaker 1>upper spine and acupuncture, along with the lung and heart

86
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:36.800
<v Speaker 1>meridians can release the chest it's been locked. So chemistry,

87
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:41.120
<v Speaker 1>how about APPO Lipoprotein B accounts for the actual number

88
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:44.439
<v Speaker 1>of artery clogging particles into blood, rather than the cholesterol

89
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:48.000
<v Speaker 1>they happen to carry. Two patients with identical low density

90
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.360
<v Speaker 1>lipoprotein levels that's the bad one can have markedly different

91
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:55.199
<v Speaker 1>APO B levels. The value above ninety warrants attention. Above

92
00:06:55.240 --> 00:07:00.319
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and ten warrants active intervention. Lipoprotein LITTLE is

93
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:04.879
<v Speaker 1>a genetically fixed particle that raises cardiovascular risk independently of

94
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:08.079
<v Speaker 1>every other lipid measure. Roughly one in five adults have

95
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:11.279
<v Speaker 1>an elevated level and no idea about it because of

96
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:16.800
<v Speaker 1>the test high sensitivity. C react to protein HSCRP, one

97
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:19.439
<v Speaker 1>of the best markers of the silent inflammation that drives

98
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:23.439
<v Speaker 1>arterial disease. Level above two signals active inflammation in the

99
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:27.959
<v Speaker 1>vessel walls, no matter how good the cholesterol looks. Homocystin

100
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.560
<v Speaker 1>an amino acid that, when elevated injures the delicate lining

101
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:34.040
<v Speaker 1>of the arteries and sharply raises the risk of stroke

102
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:40.120
<v Speaker 1>and heart attack. Fasting insulin and glucose precedes diabetes ten

103
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:42.879
<v Speaker 1>to fifteen years and damages the arteries the entire time.

104
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:47.519
<v Speaker 1>Sweat you do. Ask for those tests by name, lower inflammation,

105
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:53.759
<v Speaker 1>added source omega three fats, anti inflammatory, diet, correct what's correctable?

106
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Elevated homocystine user responds to methylated B vitamins and rising

107
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:03.959
<v Speaker 1>fasting insun responds to reduce carbohydrate and regular exercise. Energy

108
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:07.720
<v Speaker 1>the force that animates the heart beat. Energy is the

109
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.639
<v Speaker 1>dimension for which Western medicine has the least language, and

110
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.959
<v Speaker 1>one that in my clinical experience more often decides whether

111
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:18.079
<v Speaker 1>a heart ages well. By energy, I mean two things.

112
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:21.000
<v Speaker 1>The measurable activity of the nervous system and the concept

113
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:25.319
<v Speaker 1>that traditional medicine is called key qi. Begin with a

114
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:29.000
<v Speaker 1>modernistic view. The heart beat is governed not by the

115
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:32.320
<v Speaker 1>heart alone, but by the autonomic nervous system, the automatic

116
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:35.559
<v Speaker 1>control system that also runs breathing, digestion in the body's

117
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.759
<v Speaker 1>response to stress. That system has two branches, a sympathetic

118
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.120
<v Speaker 1>or accelerated that speeds the heart embraces the body for

119
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.480
<v Speaker 1>a threat, and a parasympathetic or a break that slows

120
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:51.360
<v Speaker 1>the heart and allows for repair. Patients stuck in sympathetic overdrive,

121
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:59.399
<v Speaker 1>driven anxious, perpetually braced develops stiff arteries. What do you do?

122
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:05.919
<v Speaker 1>Strengthen the parasympathetic break daily slow breathing meditation, treat sleep

123
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.519
<v Speaker 1>as a cardiac medicine seventy eight hours in a consistent schedule.

124
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Get outside. Consider acupuncture for the heart and pericardium channels.

125
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:19.919
<v Speaker 1>The heart is the body's most emotional responsive organ. Decades

126
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:24.440
<v Speaker 1>of research into pair psycho cardiology have confirmed that every

127
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:29.440
<v Speaker 1>season clinician observes grief, isolation, and unresolved emotional pain produce

128
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:34.320
<v Speaker 1>measurable physical damage to the cardiovascular system. Broken heart syndrome

129
00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:37.480
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, sometimes fatal weakening of the heart muscle triggered

130
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:41.960
<v Speaker 1>by acute emotional shock is the dramatic extreme. The everyday

131
00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:46.120
<v Speaker 1>versions are more subtle. Patients with chronically unhappy marriages have

132
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:49.639
<v Speaker 1>more cardiac events than those that leave them lonely. Patients

133
00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:54.080
<v Speaker 1>carry a cardiovascar immortality comparable to that of smokers. Patients

134
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.519
<v Speaker 1>whose suppress anger or grief for years develop high blood

135
00:09:57.559 --> 00:10:03.960
<v Speaker 1>pressure and inflamed arteries. The medication alone cannot resolve. So again,

136
00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:06.840
<v Speaker 1>what do you do? Put the emotional history on paper,

137
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:10.039
<v Speaker 1>get the right help for grief and unresolved pain, repair

138
00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:16.039
<v Speaker 1>the primary relationship. Give grief a physical channel. Struggling heart

139
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:19.639
<v Speaker 1>is usually a cumulative product of compressed, immobile chest, anatomy,

140
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:24.720
<v Speaker 1>an inflamed, insulin resistant bloodstream, a nervous system blocked and overdrive,

141
00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:30.000
<v Speaker 1>the depleted central key, energy and weight carried without acknowledgment

142
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:33.600
<v Speaker 1>in his soul. The result is a patient. It breathes deeply,

143
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:38.080
<v Speaker 1>eats with awareness, sleeps enough, moves daily, quiets the nervous system,

144
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:41.720
<v Speaker 1>and takes the emotional life as seriously as the cholesterol.

145
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Number one who can carry healthy heart into his his

146
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.720
<v Speaker 1>or her eighties and beyond. Heart keeps a record of

147
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:51.480
<v Speaker 1>life that's been asked to power. At some point, it

148
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:55.720
<v Speaker 1>asked to be heard. That was good. Go back and

149
00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.240
<v Speaker 1>listen to it again. It's good information as always. You

150
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:01.039
