Episode 95: Cardiovascular endothelial health with Dr. Kristine Burke

In this episode we discuss:

The endothelial glycocalyx and its importance in cardiovascular health.
Vascular inflammation markers and their impact on cardiovascular health.
Using non-invasive tests to assess cardiovascular health.
Glycocalyx strengthening nutrients and compounds
Nutrition and supplements for vascular health.
Cardiovascular health and treatment options.

Some Highlights:

05:22 🩺 The glycocalyx is a micro-thin layer in blood vessels that regulates the selective permeability of the vessel walls.

08:43 🧪 Testing for markers like Lp-PLA2 and myeloperoxidase can help assess the health of the glycocalyx and identify potential cardiovascular risk.

13:10 💊 K2 vitamin is important for directing calcium into the bones instead of depositing it in inflamed areas of the arteries.

18:03 🐠 Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil help maintain the flexibility and fluidity of cell membranes, including those in blood vessels.

24:47 ♻️ Environmental toxins, including microplastics, can contribute to inflammation and damage in blood vessels.

27:33 💡 Simple lifestyle changes, such as a healthy diet and exercise, can support glycocalyx health and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

31:20 🔬 Advanced lipid profiling and CIMT testing can provide valuable information about plaque development and vascular health.
