Six months before having a widowmaker heart attack at 34, Dr. Stephen Hussey had a coronary calcium score of zero. He exercised regularly, ate a whole-food diet, and says his other health markers gave him little reason to think a heart attack was coming.

After surviving it, he started questioning whether the usual markers tell us enough about heart health. That led him to look more closely at blood flow and what happens inside the arteries as heart disease develops.

Dr. Hussey shares why sunlight and our daily light environment have become such a big part of how he thinks about cardiovascular health. He explains his interest in structured water and why his experience has made him question how much we can learn from testing alone.

“If a diet stops working for you, don't be dogmatic about it.” ~ Dr. Stephen Hussey
