The Root Cause of Heart Disease

For decades, we’ve been told that cholesterol causes heart disease.

This is not true.

What’s worse is the American Heart Association (AHA) recommends eating seed oils for heart health instead.

Why the lies?

Proctor & Gamble—the company that invented seed oils—donated $20,000,000 to the AHA in 1961.

This “donation” led to the AHA denouncing saturated fats, telling people to instead consume seed oils for heart health.

The reason you’re told cholesterol causes heart disease is because of a business partnership between P&G and the AHA…

Not because it actually causes heart disease.

So, what really causes heart disease?

Let’s discuss…

What causes heart disease?

The over-simplified answer is inflammation.

14 out of the 15 leading causes of death in the US are rooted in inflammation (the odd one out is medical error).

Your likelihood for heart disease can be thought of with this equation:

(Toxic Load) x (Ability To Detox + Resilience To Inflammation) = Your Likelihood For Heart Disease

Or…

(Environment) x (Detox Genes + Inflammation Genes) = Your Likelihood For Heart Disease

How likely you are to get heart disease relies on how many toxins are in your environment, your ability to remove toxins from your body, and your resilience to systemic inflammation.

Let’s break each of these down.

1. Environment

Everyone should focus on decreasing the toxins in their environment.

I’ve written about this extensively, so please read these two resources:

• The 3 Worst Toxins And How To Remove Them

2. Your Ability To Detox

Toxins can linger in your body for years, causing chronic inflammation.

That's why detoxification is critical—without it, these toxins continue to harm your body.

However, everyone's ability to detox is different.

The way your body handles toxins is determined by genes like GSTT1, GSTM1, and GSTP1.

Some people benefit from certain antioxidants, while others may find them less effective—or even harmful.

3. Your Resilience to Inflammation

Your blood vessels supply essential organs with nutrients and oxygen.

If they become inflamed, it can restrict blood flow to vital organs, leading to serious issues.

Your ability to resist blood vessel inflammation is tied to genetics, particularly the 9P21 gene, which plays a key role in cardiovascular health.

The APOE and ACE genes also influence cholesterol transport and blood pressure regulation.

To effectively reduce inflammation, your body relies on a process called methylation, where specific genes like MTHFR and MTR regulate how well you respond to inflammation.

The Solution

Preventing heart disease is a complex issue…

You need to understand what’s causing your inflammation in the first place.

Do you struggle with detoxification?

Understand what needs to be done to support your body’s detox pathways—whether that’s through supplementation, diet modifications, or even simple habit changes.

Are you prone to blood vessel inflammation or poor blood flow?

Know your cardiovascular profile, how your body handles cholesterol, and if you’re prone to abnormal blood pressure levels. Understand how to tend to your suboptimal genes.

Does your body methylate efficiently?

Learn what forms of B-vitamins you should be taking and how to support your methylation. Should you be taking methylated or sublingual B-vitamins? What foods should you eat? How can you protect against oxidative stress?

Answer all of these questions and more in my Live To 120 Masterclass.

We’ll test all of these genes and give you a personalized blueprint on what you should do.

Stop worrying about heart disease and have some peace of mind.
