🩺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.

My guess is the mask is a mandate for being in that building.

Yes. I was in an airport at the time.
Edifying AND useful new insights. A two-fer! Framingham is very valuable. I hope they keep picking away at it and utilizing it. My CAC is just inside low so no statins for me ...yet.

Thanks
Dr., why do you wear a mask in front of microphone?
Before you take statins, get a CAC scan. If it comes back zero, you don’t need statins.

Good point.
We are listening to this from a masked man seemingly alone in his office?
This isn't a balanced overview of the information. You say that the Framingham Heart Study had good information but you don't tell us what it is. All you do is spend the whole time talking about what it does wrong, which is basically that it overestimates cardiac risk. Most doctors won't shove statins at a 105 LDL, especially with no other risk factors. You say that the 2013 data was wrong but provide no further information. I have a hard time believing that Mass General would just lightly okay bad information. Plus, no doctor worth their salt has this much time to do this many KZread videos. Consider yourself assessed and filed under "Lousy Information".
