Just finished the podcast, uncanny. I too have IHSS ,a rare but textbook condition. As well I am 63 years old,and have a history of athletics as well. My septum continued to grow to the point that walking on flat ground would give me lung burn and my beautiful wife would have to push me up hill. I, luckily, have not had cardiac arrest but have been defibrillated at least eight times. Anyway, a myectomy in Toronto 8 years ago greatly improved the condition.
Coincidentally I also finished a podcast with Dr.Greger today. He is an avowed vegetarian and his frequent videos are always quoting directly from studies. CJ and Elle also talk about “evidence based” studies but do not quote any directly. So how about a discussion between Dr.Greger and CJ or Mark? Both parties submit their studies in advance to each other so that they can come prepared for a fruitful discussion. This could be of great benefit to all your listeners.
