  • #255 ‒ Latest therapeutics in CVD, APOE’s role in Alzheimer’s disease and CVD, familial hypercholesterolemia, and more | John Kastelein, M.D., Ph.D.
    View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter’s Weekly Newsletter John Kastelein is a renowned expert in lipoprotein metabolism and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) research. In this discussion, John delves deep into familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a genetic disorder characterized by high levels of LDL cholesterol in the blood that increases the risk of developing heart disease. He covers its definition, genetic underpinnings, and clinical identification. He then explores the therapeutic options available for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease, including the captivating history of CETP inhibitors. He explains the past shortcomings of previous CETP inhibitors before underscoring the compelling potential of the latest iterations, not only for cardiovascular disease but also for conditions like Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes. Moreover, he unveils the intricate role of APOE, shedding light on why the APOE4 isoform codes for a protein that significantly increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease and cardiovascular disease. Concluding the discussion, John shares a profound sense of optimism, envisioning the possibility of targeted therapeutic interventions for high-risk patients in the near future. We discuss: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH): a genetic condition [4:30]; Differentiating between phenotype and genotype when it comes to FH [9:45]; The pathophysiology related to mutations of FH [15:30]; Clinical presentations, physical manifestations, and diagnosis of FH [22:00]; Why a small fraction of people with FH do not develop premature ASCVD [34:15]; Treatment and prevention for those with FH [39:45]; Addressing the assertion by some that elevated LDL is not casual in cardiovascular disease [52:45]; The history of CETP inhibitors, and the role of the CETP protein [55:45]; The thrifty gene hypothesis and why genes underlying FH may have been preserved [1:09:00]; The compelling potential of the latest CETP inhibitor (obicetrapib) [1:13:00]; Promising results from phase 3 trials exploring obicetrapib [1:27:45]; Why the APOE4 allele increases the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, and the connection to blood lipids [1:41:30]; The role of APOE in cardiovascular disease [1:51:45]; Takeaways and looking ahead [1:57:00]; and More.

  • #254 - AMA #47: Cold therapy: pros, cons, and its impact on longevity
    View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter’s Weekly Newsletter In this “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) episode, Peter delves deep into the data surrounding different forms of cold therapy, including cold water immersion, cryotherapy, and cold showers, aiming to unveil the potential benefits and drawbacks associated with cold therapy. He dissects the studies examining the effects of cold therapy on delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), activation of brown adipose tissue, and its potential impact on mood and as a therapeutic approach for depression. Furthermore, Peter discusses the potential negative impact cold therapy may have on muscular hypertrophy and offers his perspective on the extent to which the data support the notion of cold therapy providing longevity benefits. Finally, he also discusses the existing consensus, or lack thereof, regarding the optimal structure of an effective cold therapy protocol. If you’re not a subscriber and are listening on a podcast player, you’ll only be able to hear a preview of the AMA.

  • #253 ‒ Hormone replacement therapy and the Women’s Health Initiative: re-examining the results, the link to breast cancer, and weighing the risk vs reward of HRT | JoAnn Manson, M.D.
    View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter’s Weekly Newsletter JoAnn Manson is a world-renowned endocrinologist, epidemiologist, and Principal Investigator for the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI). In this episode, she dives deep into the WHI to explain the study design, primary outcome, confounding factors, and nuanced benefits and risks of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). JoAnn reflects on how a misinterpretation of the results, combined with sensationalized headlines regarding an elevated risk of breast cancer, led to a significant shift in the perception and utilization of HRT. From there, they take a closer look at the breast cancer data to separate fact from fiction. Additionally, JoAnn gives her take on how one should weigh the risks and benefits of HRT and concludes with a discussion on how physicians can move towards better HRT practices. We discuss: The Women’s Health Initiative: the original goal of the study, hormone formulations used, and potential confounders [4:15]; Study design of the Women’s Health Initiative, primary outcome, and more [16:00]; JoAnn’s personal hypothesis about the ability of hormone replacement therapy to reduce heart disease risk prior to the WHI [26:45]; The relationship between estrogen and breast cancer [30:45]; Why the WHI study was stopped early, and the dramatic change in the perception and use of HRT due to the alleged increase in breast cancer risk [37:30]; What Peter finds most troubling about the mainstream view of HRT and a more nuanced look at the benefits and risks of HRT [45:15]; HRT and bone health [56:00]; The importance of timing when it comes to HRT, the best use cases, and advice on finding a clinician [59:30]; A discussion on the potential impact of HRT on mortality and a thought experiment on a long-duration use of HRT [1:03:15]; Moving toward better HRT practices, and the need for more studies [1:10:00]; and More.
