Navigating Aging for a Healthy Heart & Brain

Today on the pod we have Joshua S. Yamamoto, MD, FAAC, a cardiologist, former cardiology consultant to the attending physician for the U.S. Congress, and co-author of “You Can Prevent a Stroke" with his spouse, Kristin E. Thomas, MD. “You Can Prevent a Stroke” focuses on a landmark approach to navigating the natural aging process to prevent the heart and brain from failing. The book gives us insight into what we need to do, and what we can ask of our doctors, to manage the effects of aging on our circulation so that we do not have a stroke. Dr. Yamamoto is a D.C. native. He has a degree in Physics from Princeton University, a medical degree from Dartmouth, and he was trained in Internal Medicine at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. He completed his training in cardiology at the National Naval Medical Center and Georgetown University. He was the head of cardiology training and supported cardiac needs in the war zone of Kuwait in 2005. He and his wife are currently in private practice together at Foxhall Medicine in Washington, D.C. ◘ Related Links Dr. Yamamoto's bio https://bit.ly/3eRbPsy Foxhall Medicine https://bit.ly/3BlPXND "You Can Prevent a Stroke: by Drs.
