Danielle Belardo: This Doctor Uses TikTok to Fight Heart Disease Misinformation | DSH #1695

Is the internet killing our hearts—or saving them?

In this episode, preventive cardiologist Dr. Danielle Belardo breaks down the truth about heart disease, biohacking, statins, supplements, parasite cleanses, fasting, fish oil, and all the “miracle” hacks you see on TikTok and podcasts.


She explains why heart disease shouldn’t even exist in 2025, why most supplements are just expensive urine, how to actually read scientific evidence, and why statins are one of the most misunderstood (and life-saving) drugs on the planet.


📚 What You’ll Learn


🫀 Why heart disease is still the #1 killer—and why it doesn’t have to be

🧬 How LDL cholesterol and ApoB actually drive plaque and heart attacks

🍖 Why carnivore & ultra animal-based diets can spike risk despite “feeling great”

⏱️ The truth about intermittent fasting, weight loss & losing muscle mass

💊 Why 99% of supplements are either useless—or potentially harmful

🐟 The shocking data on fish oil pills vs just eating fatty fish

💉 How statins work, who truly needs them, and why they’re so demonized online
