I want to talk about a hidden source of

heart attacks that you may have never

even considered before but I think it’s

very very common uh not talked about

enough and since heart disease is the

number one killer on planet Earth it

might be a good idea for you to know

more about this topic the unique thing

about the heart muscle is that the heart

muscle is different than the skeletal

muscles it never has a chance to fully

relax and recover it’s constantly

beating 24 7 whereas your other muscles

can have a chance to relax they don’t

have to constantly work but that heart

has to keep working and when someone

dies from a heart attack

it’s actually the heart and muscle

itself that stops Contracting and

relaxing it tends to quiver and then you

basically die and so people don’t really

die because of of the artery itself it’s

the heart muscle okay now it’s true that

you can have a blocked artery that stops

the blood flow to the heart muscle but

you die from the heart muscle

malfunctioning because of a lack of

oxygen it’s called hypoxia or ischemia

which is a lack of blood flows and as

you know anytime you have a lack of

oxygen to a muscle it cramps okay it

stops Contracting and relaxing for

muscle to work it needs a lot of oxygen

unless you’re doing some short Sprints

this high intensity type of exercise

where you operate with a different

system where you don’t need oxygen but

that’s very short-lived and you can only

go so far before you hit a wall now when

someone gets heart attack sometimes I do

this test to measure this enzyme la

rotate dehydrogenase I did a video on

this which is an enzyme involving

lactate which I’ll get into in a minute

but when this enzyme is in higher

amounts it could mean that you just had

a heart attack within 24 to 72 hours but

it can also mean other things too like

B12 Anemia as in pernicious anemia it

could mean that you have AIDS the kidney

the liver pancreatitis it could even

indicate that you have cancer because

there’s destruction of the tissues and

with this destruction comes hypoxia so

hypoxia can also Elevate this as well

what’s interesting about this topic is

I’m going to work backwards and show you

how someone could actually get to this

situation where they have too much

lactic acid in their body lactic acid is

related to lactate too much lactate

gives you lactic acid and now the pH it

goes down more acidic and then you run

out of air really quick so where does

lactate come from well it comes from

this uh kind of this compound called

pyruvate and pyruvate is kind of a

middleman in this chain reaction and

that comes from glucose so when you burn

glucose fuel it turns into pyruvate and

then lactate and then eventually lactic

acid now another name for glucose is

sugar right and you probably already

know that sugar is not good for the

heart and you may know that when you

have elevated glucose as in a diabetic

that glucose can really raise up your

triglycerides because they convert to

fat and you might also know that if

you’re on a high sugar diet you’re going

to have high levels of LDL cholesterol

but what you might not know is there’s

something else that releases a lot of

glucose that has nothing to do with your

diet okay nothing to do with what you

ate and that is called

adrenaline

maybe you were going to say cortisol and

you’re correct on that but adrenaline is

also another hormone-like communication

potent neurotransmitter that raises your

glucose and adrenaline comes from stress

and the more chronically stressed you

are the more adrenaline you’re going to

have the more glucose that your body is

going to

make or release which is going to turn

into the paruvate the lactate and the

lactic acid and it’s going to create

hypoxia there’s some fascinating

research and I’ll put it the link Down

Below on this topic on the stress

connection to heart attacks because

stress creates hypoxia in a big way

through adrenaline and cortisol too so

even when someone is has low blood

sugars adrenaline kicks in there and

mobilizes a lot of the glucose in the

body to raise the blood sugar and

cortisol does the same thing but

adrenaline is designed for quick energy

to if you’re chased by a tiger you have

to generate quick energy and so the body

is going to release glucose but what

happens when you’re under constant

stress over a period of time you’re

basically it’s like the same thing as

eating a lot of sugar and even though

adrenaline creates a vasodilation to the

coronary artery it creates

vasoconstriction of the other blood

vessels around the body to the point

where there’s no more vasodilation

there’s this vasoconstriction so this

could also explain if someone

I don’t know over exercises and they’re

not a good shape and then they dropped

out of heart attack because of this

adrenaline situation it also explains

the higher risk of getting heart attacks

from a severe shock to the system of a

stress loss of a loved one loss of a

friend

loss of money loss of job loneliness

divorce illness injury being in the

situation where you’re constantly

fighting with someone or you’re being

affected by them or you have a you know

chronic anxiety anger or depression or

just being in a fear State can all raise

your level of adrenaline to the point

where you’re feeding way too much sugar

to the body and especially the heart

muscle and you’re generating a lot of

lactate which is turning into lactic

acid creating a bad situation for the

heart muscle in fact very specifically

when you have too much lactic acid in

the heart and muscle you start to

develop arrhythmias like atrial fib that

doesn’t always necessarily just come

from an electrolyte imbalance it can

come from this hypoxia because there’s

damage going on into the heart muscle

high blood pressure is another effect of

this as well Harding of the art arteries

is another effect of this and eventually

necrosis which is like your heart

muscles start breaking down and dying

because you don’t have enough oxygen for

arrhythmias especially atrial fib after

heart attack one of the medications they

use is digitalis and digitalis does

increase more blood flow

but it also is a potent inhibitor of

this lactic acid which is very

interesting and is probably the reason

why it actually does keep people alive

the other interesting thing about

adrenaline is that when you’re under

chronic stress it’s going to raise

especially your LDL cholesterol which is

the small dense particle size LDL as

well as increasing your triglycerides

now normally those two would be

increased when you’re eating sugar you

wouldn’t think they’d be elevated with

stress

adrenaline but yes adrenaline does do

that so the real problem with a lot of

people is they’re under this sympathetic

nervous system dominance they don’t have

enough of the opposing parasympathetic

which is the calming which is

responsible for rest and digestion right

the sympathetic nervous system is all

about fight or flight mode fight meaning

more like the emotion of anger or flight

meaning the emotion of fear where you’re

running away from something I’m bringing

up this point because I want you to be

very aware of

I think a very common root cause of

heart problems that you can do something

about okay once you identify this

mechanism now there are other things

that also increase lactate directly that

then will increase lactic acid and a

hypoxia that you should be aware of and

one is smoking and vaping when people

Vape if you ever look at the ingredients

one of the ingredients is propylene

glycol that’s antifreeze okay propylene

glycol increases lactate especially when

it’s heated in a vapor State and I think

they use it for the flavoring but I’m

not sure exactly why they use it but if

you vape I would make sure that it

doesn’t have that ingredient but the

other problem with vaping is that it has

nicotine which also increases adrenaline

and can cause this whole Chain Reaction

just from that same thing with smoking I

mean when you think about smoking

there’s no fat or cholesterol in smoking

in a cigarette is there no there’s not

then why is it that smokers have

elevated cholesterol and triglycerides

because smoking increases adrenaline

which then increases glucose which then

increases cholesterol and triglycerides

smoking actually does not relieve stress

it causes more stress and increasing

your chance for heart attacks because of

this hypoxia smoking in general will

increase your chance of a heart attack

by 5 times vaping will increase your

chance of getting a heart attack by two

times now another thing that can create

this hypoxia is Tylenol poisoning

another one would be inflammation

another would be diabetes and we’ve

already talked about sugar the number

one type of sugar that will cause high

levels of lactic acid and lactic

acidosis in this hypoxia

is fructose you know that stuff that we

drink in sodas and these fruit juices

that we shouldn’t be drinking it’s the

fructose another thing that can cause

hypoxia is cyanide poisoning alcohol is

another one that can increase lactic

acidosis and hypoxia and the medication

meant for men it has a black label which

means that it has a very severe side

effect called lactic acidosis and so

metformin can cause this state as well

and this is why the next thing I’m going

to say makes a lot of sense

a B1 deficiency and a B12 deficiency can

increase lactate lactic acidosis and

hypoxia and that’s one of the things

that metformin does is it creates a B1

and B12 deficiency anything that creates

a B1 B12 deficiency like sugar stress

and just a lot of carbohydrates can

create this hypoxia

this is probably why when people are

under stress and they take B1 or

sometimes B12 they just

they can breathe better they have more

oxygen they feel less stressed so here’s

what I recommend you do number one you

have to reduce the triggers of your

stress no matter you know whatever you

can do for that especially if it’s

chronic okay but then number two you

have to do things to kind of flush out

the stress on a daily basis and this

would be long walks walking in nature on

a regular basis it flushes out

adrenaline it flushes out cortisol

with also intermittent higher intense

exercise with lots of rest number three

avoiding sugar okay well now you know

why because you don’t want that to turn

into

lactic acid and hypoxia that’s called

the ketogenic diet in taking B1 on a

regular basis can greatly help keep

lactic acid at Bay and since we’re on

the topic of the heart muscle one of the

most important

nutrients to increase the level of

oxygen in the heart muscle itself is

called tocatrinols it’s a type of

vitamin E that I recommend so now that

you’re aware of the stress factor

adrenaline

let’s talk about

um the calcium buildup in the arteries

that’s a a little bit different topic

but related I put that up right here
