A major shift is underway in how we understand heart failure—from viewing it as a purely mechanical issue to recognizing it as a profound metabolic disorder. In this episode of The Health Pulse, we explore how insulin resistance, fluid retention, and mitochondrial dysfunction lie at the core of heart failure—and how rethinking treatment through a metabolic lens could change outcomes for millions.

We discuss how low-carbohydrate, ketogenic approaches may help relieve symptoms by reducing insulin, improving fluid balance, and providing the heart with cleaner, more efficient fuel: ketones. You'll learn why patients report rapid improvements in swelling, breathing, and energy—often before losing a single pound—and how emerging research supports ketones as a "super fuel" for failing hearts.

We also cover important safety considerations, including lab testing, medication interactions, and at-home monitoring strategies that make this approach more accessible to patients managing complex health needs.

If you're ready to explore the cutting edge of cardiovascular care, this episode offers hope, science, and actionable insights rooted in metabolic health.
