ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
For over 25 years now, oral pathogens have been suggested as a root cause of cardiovascular disease.  Since then, solid evidence was lacking to support this theory.  More recently, 2016 Level A evidence has shown that oral pathogens do indeed cause CVD.  Here is how to identify if you have those oral pathogens and how to get them treated.

"High-risk periodontal pathogens contribute to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis"

About John Lorscheider - John is a frequent contributor. He’s also a PrevMed patient. Like most of us, John’s family and personal history includes significant cardiovascular risk. 

John came from a technical background and spent his entire career in providing engineered fluid process systems and equipment to industry, as well as performing root cause failure analyses for his customers.  

His own study and research made it clear he wasn’t getting the whole story about prevention from his docs. They just didn’t know.  So he’s been in several roles of running prevention medical groups to help further the science.

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.
