Preventing Disease Through Diet with Dr. James O’Keefe
James O’Keefe is the director of preventative cardiology at St Louis Mid-America Heart Institute in Kansas City and a professor of medicine at the University of Missouri. Dr O’Keefe taught me that checking your blood sugar right after you eat is really important. And even healthy people may see a huge spike in their blood sugar right after they eat. Many different chronic diseases are linked to problems with blood sugar. Dr. O’Keefe recently published a paper on the pesco-Mediterranean diet as the ideal way to eat for heart, brain, and overall health.
