💊 Thinking About Taking Supplements for Your Heart? Read This First.

I spent hours reviewing the latest research on cardiovascular supplements so you don't have to. Here's what you need to know:
📊 The Study: Meta-analysis of 884 clinical trials, 883,627 participants, 27 different supplements
🔍 What I Found:
• Most popular supplements lack meaningful heart benefits
• Omega-3s help to some extent, but people likely aren’t taking the right kind of omega-3s
• Coenzyme Q10 shows the most promise
• Some supplements (like beta-carotene) may actually be harmful
• The FDA doesn't regulate supplements—quality varies dramatically

💡 My Recommendation: Skip most supplements and invest in healthy food instead. A colorful Mediterranean diet with vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fish, nuts, and olive oil will do far more for your heart than any pill.

If you do choose supplements, look for the USP Verified Mark and discuss with your physician—supplement-drug interactions are real.

💓 Ever feel your heart “flutter,” “skip,” or “thump” and wonder what’s going on?

I just wrote a new article breaking down palpitations—what they are, why they happen, and when they actually matter.

Palpitations are incredibly common, and most of the time they’re not dangerous. But sometimes they can signal something more serious, which is why understanding your symptoms (and talking with your doctor) is so important.

In this post, I cover:
• What palpitations really are
• The difference between PACs and PVCs
• How to describe your symptoms so your doctor can help
• What to expect during an evaluation
• When stress, caffeine, or thyroid issues might be the real cause
• Why wearable devices can help—but also sometimes mislead

If you or someone you know has ever worried about a “funny feeling” in their chest, this article is for you.

Food, Tests, & Pills - Cholesterol Update for 2026

The new 2026 nutrition guidelines are already causing confusion — and for good reason. They overlook years of solid science, especially around cholesterol, one of the biggest drivers of heart disease. The good news is that most people can dramatically improve their cholesterol with the right information. I’ve broken down what really matters — from testing to food choices to supplements and medications — in a new blog post.

• Why cholesterol matters and how it contributes to heart disease
• Which tests are actually useful—and which ones add cost with limited value
• Food patterns that truly lower risk, including what the evidence says about Mediterranean, vegetarian, and other diets
• Specific foods to prioritize or avoid based on real science, not industry influence
• Supplements with evidence (and many that don’t live up to their claims)
• Modern medications that are safer, more effective, and often more affordable than people expect

❤️ 2025 Cardiology Year in Review: What Every Clinician Should Know

As we wrap up 2025, the landscape of cardiovascular prevention has shifted in meaningful ways. From revamped blood pressure guidelines to deeper insights into lipid management and heart failure prevention, this year brought major updates that will shape how we care for patients moving forward.

One of the most important takeaways?
Women’s cardiovascular risk is still being underestimated.

Even with improvements in the AHA PREVENT calculator, it continues to underperform in women compared to men. A growing body of evidence shows that female‑specific risk enhancers—often overlooked in routine care—carry predictive power comparable to having a coronary calcium score ≥100.

👉 That’s why we’re spotlighting twelve key questions you may not realize are directly tied to heart health in your female patients.
These questions are so clinically meaningful that they deserve a place on every clinic’s intake questionnaire—right alongside traditional risk assessments like coronary calcium scoring.

If you care for women, you need to be asking these.
If you are a woman, you deserve to have these asked.

📌 Read the full breakdown and see why these questions matter as much as CAC scoring:
https://www.evexeyahealth.com/post/2025-cardiology-year-in-review

Let’s make 2026 the year we close the cardiovascular knowledge gap for women—starting with the questions we ask.

As 2025 draws to a close, there have been a number of important changes in the management of cardiovascular health. When reviewing the work of the American College of Cardiology (ACC), American Heart Association (AHA), American Society of Preventive Cardiology (ASPC), National Lipid Association (NLA...
