I recently published a landmark paper in the World Journal of Cardiology. In it, I call for nothing less than a paradigm shift in how we approach heart disease — moving away from patchwork fixes and toward restoring cellular health at its root. The World Journal of Cardiology is an internationally recognized, peer-reviewed journal that publishes cutting-edge cardiovascular research.

My paper challenges the current standard of care and outlines a new framework centered on cellular health, a direction few in mainstream cardiology are taking. This work lays the scientific foundation for practical solutions you can apply today.

Mainstream methods to treat heart disease — such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), which is angioplasty with stenting, and pharmaceutical drugs — are widely used today. But although they are effective, the problem is that they do not address the root causes of heart disease, such as endothelial dysfunction and inflammation.
