Understand Your Plaque.
Prevent Your Heart Attack.
From severe coronary artery disease to two world cycling records. Evidence-based education from the PhD researcher who did it.
Immersive Learning Experience
This website is designed as an immersive learning experience. Cardiovascular medicine is complex, and people learn best when they can engage with the material in multiple formats: listen on Spotify, watch on YouTube, and read the accompanying articles.
The articles come in two depths — an easy to read overview, and a deep dive that’s fully technical. It’s made for everyone — use it to educate yourself so you walk into your healthcare professional’s office fully informed, or, if you’re a healthcare professional, the deep dive serves as a review of the peer-reviewed published data.
Trusted Independence Guarantee
To preserve scientific independence and minimize bias, we do not accept advertising, corporate sponsorships, industry funding, affiliate commissions, or brand partnerships. Our sole commitment is to accurately interpret and communicate the scientific evidence.
