Hope everyone enjoyed the Reversing Heart Disease Naturally 2.0 Summit online. Keep an eye out for the upcoming replay weekend!

This week, Dr. Kahn covers some fascinating 'mini-topics,' including the effects of licorice on blood pressure, insights into cholesterol measures and survival highlighting the significance of elevated lipoprotein(a), the benefits of plant-based diets in preventing type 2 diabetes, and the potential of apple cider vinegar in aiding weight loss.

The main discussion delves into a common inquiry at the Kahn Center: Do statin medications contribute to dementia? Dr. Kahn examines a meta-analysis revealing that statins actually lower the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's Disease. Additionally, he shares findings from a recent study in Chicago that supports the notion that statins can decrease the risk of memory loss over time, especially in individuals with one or two ApoE4 genes. This comes as reassuring news to many concerned about the implications of carrying the ApoE4 gene.
