What if “heart health” isn’t about managing numbers… but fixing what’s driving vascular aging in the first place? In this episode, triple board-certified cardiologist Dr. Chris Davis joins Claudia (with Lumara co-founders Ashley Madsen and Alexandra Cochrane) to unpack a modern, prevention-first approach to cardiovascular longevity. We explore: - Why conventional cardiology often becomes a “revolving door” of repeat events and procedures - The “getting rusty inside” explanation of oxidative + nitrosative stress (and what it does to your arteries) - How nitric oxide signaling influences vascular function, performance, and aging - Why Lp(a) is trending, what matters now, and how to think about outcomes vs numbers - Why coronary imaging (calcium and plaque assessment) can remove the guesswork - How toxins, membranes, and mitochondria connect to cardiometabolic decline - The emerging frontier: membrane medicine + mitochondrial support (including peptide discussion) - Practical levers you can start with: Zone 2, environment upgrades, and reducing daily toxin load This is a high-signal conversation for anyone who wants to measure what matters, reduce risk upstream, and build a stronger, longer healthspan.
