This week, Dr. Kahn discusses new data indicating that the 5-day Fasting Mimicking Diet, called PROLON, can assist in improving measures of diabetic control in Type 2 disease. PROLON is available at prolonfmd.com/drkahn. He also discusses blood pressure and brain health, as well as heart disease after menopause. For the main topic, Dr. Kahn highlights a new research article describing silent brain disease in heart patients. Up to two-thirds of patients have white matter lesions, silent brain infarctions, and other pathologies on MRI scans. Dr. Kahn discusses how it may be possible to prevent these findings and whether all heart patients should have a brain MRI.
