Episode 129: Heart Health: Are You Missing the Gut Connection?

You may be doing all the “right” things for your heart—exercising, eating well, stretching, and showing up consistently for your health—but what if there is another important piece of the puzzle? 

In this episode of Get Savvy…Demystifying Healthcare, Sandy Kibling welcomes Dr. Bilal Ahmed, an interventional and structural cardiologist, to explore a deeper look at heart health beyond the traditional advice.

Dr. Ahmed is also the co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Lylah Health, a personalized microbiome therapeutics company focused on heart health. He shares how the gut microbiome may play an important role in cardiovascular risk factors and how targeted prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics could support a more personalized approach to prevention and wellness.

Key takeaways: 

• Heart health is about more than exercise and diet alone. 
• The gut microbiome may be an overlooked factor in cardiovascular wellness.
• Personalized healthcare is changing how we think about prevention.
• Consumers should stay curious, ask better questions, and understand emerging options that may support long-term heart health.
