Episode 13. Atherosclerosis in Young Adults: What to Do After a Positive Coronary Calcium Scan

In today’s episode, we address a question many people face: “I’m in my 30s or 40s, I feel healthy, but my scan shows coronary calcium or early atherosclerosis, what does this mean, and what should I do next?” We’ll walk through what a comprehensive medical evaluation looks like, which hidden risk factors may be at play, how to uncover them, and most importantly, how to slow or stabilize disease progression and, in some cases, even reverse it. My goal is for you to leave feeling informed and empowered. And while this conversation is primarily directed toward younger individuals, the content discussed today is relevant to individuals of all ages.
