In this episode, Elwin Robinson is joined by Dr Malcolm Kendrick — Scottish GP, author, and health skeptic — to challenge the mainstream view that cholesterol causes heart disease. They explore the thrombogenic hypothesis, why arterial damage and blood clotting may be the real driver of cardiovascular disease, the role of nitric oxide, lead toxicity, psychosocial stress, and what you can actually do to protect your heart.
