Dr. Christopher Davis - Heart Doctor: Low-Fat Foods Are Causing More Heart Disease!

Most people think heart disease is just about cholesterol. But what if the real issue is in your genes, your environment, and even your daily stress? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Christopher Davis, a triple board-certified interventional cardiologist who’s redefining what it means to take care of your heart.

After years of performing stent procedures, he realized the conventional system was only treating symptoms, not causes. So he made a bold shift from reactive cardiology to a root-cause approach that blends advanced testing, functional medicine, detoxification, and even ancient healing wisdom. We discuss how genetics determine whether saturated fats help or harm you, why cholesterol itself isn’t the enemy, and how inflammation and oxidative stress are the real threats to your arteries.

If you’ve ever wondered why someone with perfect cholesterol can still have a heart attack, or why your stress levels matter just as much as your diet, this conversation will change how you think about cardiovascular health forever.
