The Natural Heart Doctor Show
Cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer in the world. Millions suffer from heart attacks, strokes, atrial fibrillation and heart failure. Doctors rely on pharmaceuticals and surgeries, but these approaches are loaded with risks and side effects.
The good news is there’s a better way to heart health.
That is what The Healthy Heart Show is all about: Living your life without more pharma and surgeries. Our goal is cardiac longevity and the 100 Year Heart.
On The Healthy Heart Show, you will get access to a diverse group of pioneers in the holistic health industry who are educating the masses on how to prevent and reverse disease naturally. Our hosts and guests will share the latest information in nutrition, lifestyle, mental wellness, advanced testing, and evidence-based supplements all in an effort to support the 100 Year Heart.
Dr. Jack Wolfson and Dr. Lauren Lattanza are your guides to taking back your health by exposing the pitfalls of conventional medicine and unlocking the health secrets of our ancestors.
Dr. Jack Wolfson began his medical career as a typical cardiologist seeing dozens of patients, writing prescriptions, and performing procedures. Upon reflecting on this experience, he noticed a pattern similar to a revolving door. He could alleviate symptoms but never really cure his patients. Upon meeting his wife, Dr. Heather Wolfson (a chiropractic physician), he was introduced to the world of disease prevention through nutrition, lifestyle, and vitamin supplementation. From then on his goal was to shift the disease-care paradigm and change the world.
Dr. Lauren Lattanza earned her Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, Arizona. Her passion is helping patients discover the root cause of their conditions, not just treat their symptoms. Dr. Lattanza currently sees patients in-person at our Natural Heart Doctor office in Scottsdale, Arizona, as well as virtually through http://naturalheartdoctor.com/.
If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired; if you have not gotten answers from your doctor, just more pills that make you feel terrible; if you are ready to make a change and be your own health advocate; then listen to The Healthy Heart Show with Dr. Wolfson and Dr. Lattanza and begin your journey to health, energy, and the 100 Year Heart.

Explore Dr. Wolfson’s heart health testing options at https://shop.naturalheartdoctor.com/collections/tests
A coronary CT scan gives you a number, but it can’t tell you why your arteries are at risk or what to do about it. Dr. Jack explains why he is against routine coronary CT screening as the starting point for heart attack risk, and what he does instead to find clogged arteries and their root causes.

🔍 In this video, you will learn:
✅ Why Dr. Wolfson does not start with a coronary CT scan to assess heart attack risk
✅ The questions to ask before agreeing to a routine coronary CT scan
✅ What a calcium scan and a CT angiogram leave unanswered
✅ The blood and urine markers he uses to investigate your risk
✅ Why inflammation, oxidative stress, and insulin resistance matter beyond a scan number
✅ How tests like CIMT ultrasound can be followed over time without radiation
✅ Three questions to ask before you leave your results appointmentIf you have been told to get a coronary CT scan to check for clogged arteries and want to know what else to ask, this is a must watch video.

Register for Dr. Wolfson's free webinar, The Truth About Cholesterol, athttps://shop.naturalheartdoctor.com/pages/truth-about-cholesterol
You cut out the eggs, cut back on meat — and your cholesterol is still high. That's because the number was never the whole story. Dr. Jack explains why a cholesterol reading is only a clue and a poor marker of true heart attack risk. He walks through four steps toward a 100-year heart: test beyond total cholesterol, look upstream at the root causes, flip the script with food and lifestyle, and track your response over time.
🔍 In this video, you will learn:
✅ Why your cholesterol number is a clue, not a measure of your heart attack risk
✅ Why total cholesterol and LDL alone don't tell the whole story
✅ The advanced markers worth testing, including ApoB, Lp(a), insulin, and inflammation
✅ How food, sleep, stress, toxins, and sunlight affect your cholesterol levels
✅ Why two people with the same cholesterol number can have very different underlying problems
✅ How food and lifestyle changes can support healthier blood vessels
✅ Why one test is a photograph and repeat testing is the movie
If you have changed your diet and your cholesterol is still high — or you were handed a prescription without being told why — this is a must-watch video.

The REAL CAUSE of Heart Palpitations and HOW TO Prevent It
Episode 31
Show notes
If your heart starts fluttering, pounding, or racing during perimenopause or menopause, you have probably been told it is just anxiety or just part of getting older, but that is not the full story.
Dr. Jack Wolfson explains what menopausal heart palpitations really mean and why hormonal shifts rarely act alone. He outlines three things every woman should investigate: her heart rhythm, personal triggers, and root causes like thyroid issues, sleep, inflammation, and toxin exposure.
🔍 In this video, you will learn:
✅ Why heart palpitations during menopause are a symptom, not a diagnosis
✅ Why hormonal changes alone do not fully explain your palpitations
✅ How to know your heart rhythm before assuming it is dangerous or dismissing it
✅ How to track your personal triggers like sleep, stress, caffeine, and hot flashes
✅ Root causes that can drive palpitations, including thyroid, inflammation, and toxins
✅ Why hormone replacement therapy should not automatically be the first answer
✅ Which palpitation symptoms mean you should seek emergency care
If you have been told your palpitations are just part of menopause or just anxiety, this is a must watch video.

After 50,000 Patients, I Noticed This About Statins…
Episode 28
Show notes
Your LDL can drop dramatically on a statin, and that impressive-looking number still will not tell you whether it actually lowered your chance of a heart attack or fixed what is damaging your arteries. This video shares his SAFE statin audit, a four-step framework for evaluating a statin prescription before you commit to it for life. He explains why absolute risk reduction matters far more than the relative risk numbers most patients are shown, and walks through a real patient case where statin-related brain fog resolved after the medication was paused.
- - - - -
🔍 In this video, you will learn:
✅ Why a dramatic LDL drop does not guarantee your heart attack risk actually fell
✅ The four step SAFE statin audit you can use before agreeing to a prescription
✅ Why absolute risk reduction matters more than the relative risk numbers doctors quote
✅ What the Cholesterol Treatment Trialists data really shows about statin benefit
✅ Why muscle pain, brain fog, or blood sugar changes deserve investigation, not dismissal
✅ The four questions to bring to your next doctor's appointment
✅ Why lowering LDL is not the same as treating the root cause of heart disease
- - - - -
If you have ever been told your LDL looks great, but you still do not feel like yourself, or you are wondering what your doctor isn't showing you about your statin, this is a must-watch video.

The Heart Attack You Won’t See Coming (Even With “Good” Stats)
Episode 27
Show notes
You can eat clean, exercise daily, and have a normal cholesterol panel, and still be walking around with real cardiovascular risk that the panel never shows you. This video explains why a standard cholesterol panel cannot tell you whether oxidative stress, inflammation, insulin resistance, or toxin exposure are already damaging your arteries. He breaks down why root cause cardiology looks beyond total cholesterol and LDL to find out what is really driving heart attack risk.
- - - - -
🔍 In this video, you will learn:
✅ Why a normal cholesterol panel does not rule out heart attack risk
✅ What oxidative stress reveals about damage happening inside your arteries
✅ Why toxin exposure and insulin resistance can quietly drive cardiovascular disease
✅ Why one test only gives you a photograph, not the full picture of your heart health
✅ The difference between root cause cardiology and chasing a single number
✅ How the 100 Year Heart Method approaches long term cardiovascular health
✅ Why fixing the underlying problem matters more than lowering LDL alone
If you have ever been told your labs look fine, but something still feels off, or you are wondering what your cholesterol panel is not showing you, this is a must-watch video.

Why Your Doctor Wants You Taking a Statin (Most People Don't Need One)
Episode 26
Show notes
This video explains why cholesterol-lowering alone does not address the root causes of cardiovascular disease or heart attack risk. He breaks down what a standard LDL panel misses, including inflammation, oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and ApoB particles, and shares the four questions every patient should ask before starting a statin.
- - - - -
🔍 In this video, you will learn:
✅ Why your real heart attack risk depends on far more than your LDL number
✅ What a standard cholesterol panel misses, including inflammation, oxidative stress, and ApoB particles
✅ Why LDL alone does not prove or rule out cardiovascular disease
✅ The difference between relative risk and absolute risk in statin studies
✅ Why insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction matter more than one number
✅ The real trade offs of taking a statin beyond side effects
✅ Four questions to ask before accepting a lifetime statin prescription
✅ What actually damages your arteries and how to start reversing it
If you have been told your cholesterol is high without any explanation of why, or you are wondering whether a statin is really the right first step, this is a must-watch video.

Nutrition In, Toxins Out: The Case For Algae
Episode 25
Show notes
In this episode of The Natural Heart Doctor Show, I sit down with Catharine Arnston, PhD, a friend of nearly a decade and the founder of ENERGYbits. Our introduction was not exactly professional. My one-year-old daughter crawled off at a conference and came back with green all over her mouth, having helped herself to a bag of Catharine's tablets. That moment is a decent summary of the whole argument: this is food, not a supplement, and a toddler recognized it before I did.
Catharine walks through what actually separates the two algae. Spirulina is a cyanobacteria, so there is no cellulose wall for your body to break down, and its protein arrives already in amino acid form alongside the B vitamins that convert it into steady energy. She uses a Lego analogy for why complete proteins matter, since your body is building far more than muscle with them. Chlorella works the other direction. Its hard cell wall binds heavy metals and other unwanted compounds, its chlorophyll travels through the liver and colon, and its fiber feeds the gut microbiome. She also makes a point I had not connected before: chlorella is high in tryptophan, tryptophan is a precursor to serotonin, and most of your serotonin is made and used in the gut, where it drives bowel motility. Her practical tip for stubborn cases is fresh organic pineapple, and I would underline the organic part.
We spend real time on sourcing, because it is where most of this falls apart. Catharine explains why she will not use algae from lakes or oceans, why high-heat drying deactivates the enzymes and pigments people are paying for, and what it took to find growers who meet her standard. From my side, this is the same thing I tell every patient. Skip the lab-made shelf, get the foundational food right, and give the body what it needs to do its own work.
- - - - -
Catharine Arnston, PhD is the founder, CEO, and Chief Science Officer of ENERGYbits, a microalgae company whose spirulina and chlorella tablets are used by functional medicine practitioners, heart and longevity clinics, and professional sports teams. Her work began as personal research. When her younger sister was preparing for chemotherapy and was told to move to an alkaline diet with no explanation of what that meant, Catharine, then an MBA working in international business, set out to find the answer for her.
That research led her to spirulina and chlorella, and to seventeen years of studying how they are grown, dried, and absorbed. She earned her PhD in the field and is now finishing Love Your Health to Bits with Algae, a book with roughly two thousand references, due out in January 2027.- - - - -

Lower Your Blood Pressure Naturally By Raising Nitric Oxide
Episode 24
Show notes
In this solo episode of The Natural Heart Doctor Show, I take on one of the most common questions I hear: what do you actually do about high blood pressure? My answer starts by reframing the reading itself. A high number is a sign that something deeper is going on, and one factor that too often gets missed is nitric oxide, a gas your body makes that signals the muscle in your artery walls to relax. When those vessels open, blood moves more easily and pressure eases. Nitric oxide also works as a natural anticoagulant, which is part of why it matters so much for circulation.
Then I walk through where nitric oxide actually comes from. Food nitrates in beets, arugula, and leafy greens meet the bacteria in a healthy mouth, turn into nitrite, and convert into nitric oxide with the help of stomach acid. That pathway explains two things people rarely connect: antiseptic mouthwash and acid-blocking drugs can quietly work against you. I also cover the amino-acid route, with L-arginine, L-citrulline, and L-taurine feeding nitric oxide synthase, the role of UVA sunlight on your skin, and why I always come back to the same rule: test, don't guess.

Why I Stopped Blaming Genes for Heart Disease
Episode 23
Show notes
In this conversation with Patti Wartella-Simab on Coffee with Patti, I share how I went from mainstream cardiologist to the Natural Heart Doctor. I talk about my father's illness, the moment a young chiropractor helped me see health differently, and why I have come to believe the body is built to be well when we take away what harms it and add back what it needs. I keep returning to one simple idea: too much bad stuff, not enough good stuff.
From there we get into the everyday basics I care about most: spending real time outside, morning and daytime light, better sleep, more seafood and whole foods, and lowering the chronic stress that quietly wears on the heart. I also explain why I put "Think Well" alongside "Eat Well" and "Live Well," and why, for me, finding your happy is part of healing. None of this is medical advice, and it is not about stopping anything on your own. It is an invitation to ask better questions about the root cause and to work with someone who will teach, not just prescribe.- - - - -
About the Guest:
Patti Wartella-Simab is the host of Coffee with Patti, a conversational interview podcast built around honest, personal stories told over a cup of coffee. Across her episodes she sits down with a wide range of guests, from local leaders to health and wellness voices, to talk about resilience, human connection, and living well. After a heart scare of her own led her to Dr. Wolfson's work, she invited him on to share his approach to root-cause heart health with her listeners.

The Superfood Your Cardiologist Forgot to Mention
Episode 22
Show notes
In this episode, I sit down with Doug Evans to make the case for the humble sprout as one of the most underrated foods for your heart. Most people push sprouts to the side of the plate as a garnish. Doug and I think that's a mistake.
We talk about broccoli sprouts and sulforaphane, the plant compound that research has tied to the NRF2 pathway, glutathione production, and your body's own antioxidant and detox defenses. For me, that matters because oxidative stress and the health of your endothelium sit closer to the root of heart disease than the LDL and HDL numbers most cardiologists chase.
Doug also walks through the practical side: which seeds to start with, why three-day-old sprouts are the most potent, how to tell healthy root hairs from mold, and why growing your own runs about a fifth of the grocery-store price. If you want one simple daily habit that lines up with how your body was actually designed to heal, this conversation is worth your time.

About the Guest:
Doug Evans is the co-founder of The Sprouting Company and the author of The Sprout Book, a top-100 Amazon bestseller. A longtime pioneer in the natural-food world, he has spent more than thirty years championing whole, plant-based foods. After moving to the Mojave Desert and landing in a literal food desert, Doug began sprouting nearly all of his own food and turned that experience into a mission to make countertop sprouting simple, affordable, and accessible. He designed The Sprouting Company's growing kit and tracked down high-glucoraphanin broccoli seeds so anyone can grow nutrient-dense sprouts at home in days, without soil, sunshine, or fertilizer.

The Cellular Energy Crisis At The Root Of Heart Disease And Fatigue
Episode 21
Show notes
In this conversation, Ari Whitten and I go straight to the cellular level to answer a question most of cardiology never asks: where does your energy actually come from, and what happens to your heart when it runs low? Ari walks through the work of Dr. Robert Naviaux and the ‘cell danger response,’ the idea that your mitochondria are constantly reading the environment and deciding whether to make energy or switch into defense mode. Stressors like toxins, junk food, poor sleep, and chronic psychological stress push them toward defense, and that shift shows up as fatigue, oxidative stress, and inflammation, the same drivers I see underneath so much heart disease.
From there, we get practical. Ari breaks down why how you breathe matters as much as how much you move, how a simple breath-hold test reflects your body's oxygen delivery, and why 20 to 30 minutes of daily movement may be one of the most powerful things you can do for your heart. It all comes back to what I teach every day: Eat Well, Live Well, Think Well. Give your cells what they were designed for, and your energy and your heart tend to follow.

About the Guest:
Ari Whitten, MS, is the founder of The Energy Blueprint and one of the most respected evidence-based voices on fatigue, energy, and mitochondrial health. He holds a Master of Science in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine, a bachelor's in Kinesiology, and certifications from the National Academy of Sports Medicine as a Corrective Exercise Specialist and Performance Enhancement Specialist.
After losing nearly a year of his own life to severe chronic fatigue in his twenties, Ari devoted his career to understanding how cellular energy is built and broken.

Why High Cholesterol May Be a Repair Signal, Not the Enemy
Episode 20
Show notes
Cardiologists spend their careers talking about cholesterol. On this episode, I wanted to go one level deeper, down to the cell membrane, because that's where heart health is really decided. Justine Stenger has spent years studying phospholipids like phosphatidylcholine, the fats that build the membranes wrapping every one of your cells and your mitochondria.
We talk about why the membrane, not the nucleus, acts as the brain of the cell, and how cholesterol fits into that picture as a helper rather than a villain. Justine walks through how a phospholipid shortage may push the liver to make more cholesterol to repair membrane damage, why our modern toxic load makes that shortage so common, and what food, oral, and clinical approaches she looks at to support cellular repair. We also cover the lab markers you can track over time, from cholesterol and triglycerides to homocysteine, so this stays practical, not just theoretical.
