The Cardiologist Who Stopped Prescribing Statins Explains the Real Cause of Heart Attacks | Dr. Aseem Malhotra - ENCORE

This week, in a special holiday edition of The Dr. Hyman Show, I’m revisiting a powerful conversation with Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a leading cardiologist and advocate for ethical, evidence-based medicine, where we unpacked the uncomfortable truths about cholesterol, statins, and what really drives heart disease. Wishing you a peaceful holiday week.

We unpack:

• Why LDL cholesterol isn’t the whole story when it comes to heart disease

• How reducing inflammation and insulin resistance can better protect your heart

• What statins can—and can’t—do to improve real cardiovascular outcomes

• How industry influence shapes the prescriptions patients receive

Better heart health starts with better information and real progress begins when we stop treating numbers and start treating what’s actually causing disease.

Hope you have a peaceful holiday week. I look forward to continuing this journey together in the new year.
