🎁 Learn more about Dr. Robert Kelly: www.drrobertkelly.com Every week a patient asks me about the latest thing the internet promised will save their heart. A supplement, a new way of eating, an injection, some powder a guy with perfect teeth was selling at four in the morning. Here is my honest opinion as a cardiologist with no powder to sell you. In this episode, I'm going to give you my straight take on fasting, protein products, supplements, and GLP1 injections like Ozempic and Mounjaro, then tell you the one boring thing that beats all of them. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS  0:00 A Cardiologist's Honest Take on Fasting, Protein, and Ozempic 0:32 The four things patients ask about most  1:00 Does fasting actually work for your heart  2:03 Fasting is not where you should start  2:15 The truth about protein powders and bars  3:12 Why most heart supplements are a waste of money  3:39 What Ozempic and Mounjaro really do  4:26 The mistake people make on GLP1 injections  4:56 What actually works better than any of it  5:52 The boring habit that is real heart medicine ❓ QUESTIONS ANSWERED  Does intermittent fasting actually help your heart?  Fasting for 14 to 16 hours can improve blood sugar and help prevent diabetes in some people. It works best as a tool for people whose habits are already solid, not as a first step for someone running on empty, since it can backfire if sleep, stress, and diet are still a mess.  Are protein powders and supplements good for heart health?  Many protein products are loaded with added sugar despite their health marketing, so reading the label matters more than trusting the front of the package. Most heart supplements also lack solid research showing they prevent heart disease, so real food is almost always the better investment for your money and your arteries.  Is Ozempic or Mounjaro good for your heart?  GLP1 medications can genuinely help with weight and blood sugar for certain patients, and there is growing evidence they support heart health indirectly through weight loss. They only work long term when paired with real changes to eating, movement, and sleep, since stopping the medication without those habits usually brings the weight right back within months. 📱 RESOURCES  Website: www.drrobertkelly.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drrobertkelly.ie/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.robert.kelly 🔔 Subscribe for weekly insights on what 20 years of cardiology and lifestyle medicine has actually taught me about keeping your heart healthy for the long term.
