ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
Stem cell treatment is the big buzz now in orthopedics. I had a family member with great results with the arthritis of her hand. There are a lot of companies now providing stem cell treatment. Most of them offer stem cell treatment for stroke as well. 

There are reputable (and not so reputable) companies providing stem cell treatment now for arthritis, stroke, and other disabling conditions. Stroke is the #1 cause of disabling disease in the US. It affects women more than men, and those greater than 65, at least 75% of the time. Stroke is now the #5 cause of death, down from #3 due to improvements in the major cause of stroke-- hypertension. 

Atrial fibrillation is growing in importance. It's become clear that we need to improve the detection of paroxysmal (unknown, occasional) atrial fib. It's also clear that we need to have better methods of detection. I use iKARDIA, Alive Cor.  (And I have no financial connection to this product.) I use it myself. I have 4Q25 the atrial fib gene. When I get a flutter, I check a rhythm strip on my iPhone.

ABOUT DR. BREWER
Dr. Brewer started as an Emergency Doctor. After seeing too many preventable heart attacks, he went to Johns Hopkins to learn Preventive Medicine. While there, he went on the run the post-graduate training program (residency) in Preventive Medicine. From there, he made a career of practicing and managing preventive medicine and primary care clinics. His later role in this area was Chief Medical Officer for Premise, which has close to 1,000 primary care/prevention clinics. He was also the Chief Medical Officer for MDLIVE, the second largest telemedicine company. More recently, he founded PrevMed, a heart attack, and stroke prevention clinic.

At PrevMed, we focus on heart attack, stroke, and cognitive decline. We serve patients who have already experienced an event as well as those who have not developed a diagnosis or event. Dr. Brewer provides services via telemedicine or in person if you're in the Lexington, KY area. We find a lot of undiagnosed prediabetes or insulin resistance. Treating unrecognized risk factors like prediabetes allows reduction of risk and prevention of disease.
