The Dire Reality and Preventability of Heart Disease

Dr. Steven Lome highlights the astonishing fact that heart disease has remained the leading cause of death in the US for over a century. Despite its largely preventable nature, more Americans succumbed to heart disease in 2022 than soldiers lost in all US wars combined. By drawing a comparison between the resources dedicated to acute interventions and the meager emphasis on prevention, Dr. Lome challenges the profit-driven healthcare system. He advocates for a paradigm shift, emphasizing lifestyle changes as a potent weapon against various diseases. By addressing systemic cultural and financial obstacles, he believes that a more effective and humane approach to healthcare is attainable. #HeartDisease #LifestyleMedicine #HealthcareReform
