Is the current standard of heart healthcare doing enough to address unseen risks in patients? With a new approach and epidemiology, there may be additional steps to take. Listen up to learn:  How the BaleDoneen Method differs from the standard of care What conditions the BaleDoneen Method can help with Who can benefit from Healthy Heart, Healthy Brain  Dr. Brad Bale and Dr. Amy Doneen, the author and co-author of Healthy Heart, Healthy Brain, share their work revolutionizing the field of heart health. The current standard of care for heart and brain health may be lacking. However, using the BaleDoneen Method in combination with the standard of care, many more patients can avoid the risk of heart attacks and strokes they may have otherwise suffered. The BaleDoneen Method utilizes individualized genetic examination and puts the individual at the center of their treatment technique. Recently, practitioners around the country have begun to embrace the BaleDoneen Method, allowing greater accessibility to take charge of your health through a genetically driven program.

The Highway to Heart Health ft. Amy Doneen

Bradley Bale

Episode #229: The Red Flag Warnings of Heart Attack and Stroke with Drs. Bradley Bale and Amy DoneenToday’s Episode:Drs. Bradley Bale and Amy Doneen are the doctors behind the BaleDoneen Method. This is a method practiced by healthcare practitioners to detect and treat cardiovascular disease to halt, stabilize, and even reverse cardiovascular disease and help people avoid large life events like heart attacks and strokes. Through their research, they have discovered that treating inflammation can also prevent damage to the small vessels which leads to many of the diseases caused by aging.Dentists play a huge role in the process, because periodontal disease or endonitic disease are inflammation factors. They believe in an integrative approach where all of the healthcare providers work together to fight inflammation and be on the lookout for markers that can indicate inflammation. Today, they share some red flags that dental providers can look out for and ultimately save their patient’s health. Dr. Bale and Dr. Doneen are the authors of The Heart Attack Gene, a valuable read for cutting edge dental professionals. Show Notes[02:45] Dr. Doneen and Dr. Bale have been working together for the last 20 years. They look at arterial disease through the lens of inflammation and early disease detection. [03:42] The BaleDoneen method also has an impact on protecting the small vessels that cause diseases of aging.[04:04] Dental colleagues are key in fighting inflammation.[04:43] Inflammation drives the formation of arterial disease and triggers events like heart attack and stroke. High-risk periodontal pathogens will drive that inflammation.[08:07] Dr. Doneen shares why fighting inflammation is so important now during the pandemic. They have research that demonstrates causality with high-risk pathogens. [10:42] The common denominator of people who perish with COVID-19 is micro vascular disease in the pulmonary tract. It's all due to inflammation.[14:08] Dr. Doneen shares red flags such as a diagonal earlobe crease Frank's sign. Male pattern baldness is another sign. White coat hypertension also places people at risk.[16:57] Dr. Bale talks about fordyce granules and how that can be a marker of hyperlipidemia which can increase risk of arterial disease.[18:18] Anybody with a blood pressure of 120/80 is at risk and should monitor their blood pressure.[21:09] It's critical to go to the dentist and maintain periodontal health. [24:18] Beat the Heart Attack Gene was written to help the public learn how to look for inflammatory markers and fight inflammation. [25:48] Dr. Doneen and Dr. Bale are excited about the future of preventing microvascular disease. That's what their new book will be about. [28:34] Dr. Doneen shares a special offer on their 16-hour preceptorship program on the BaleDoneen Method. They have an online program. You can learn more on BaleDoneen.com. [30:29] Incorporating information from The Heart Attack Gene is cutting-edge dental science. Hygienists who are taking care of periodontal disease are saving lives.

Episode #229:  The Red Flag Warnings of Heart Attack and Strokes with Drs. Bradley Bale and Amy Doneen

Dr. Amy Doneen runs The Heart Attack &amp; Stroke Prevention Center in Spokane, WA. She has academic appointments at the Washington State University School of Medicine  and University of Kentucky Dental School. She is also the author of Beat the Heart Attack Gene. We have had her on the show before, and it was so much fun we ran out of time. She is brilliant, and you will see how everything from medicine to dental ties together in this show.  We talk about the connection between cardiovascular health and periodontal and endodontal health. Dr. Amy Doneen is extremely passionate about this subject and has the goal of knocking heart attack off the top of the list as the number one cause of death in the US by 2020. She emphasizes the importance of dental and medical practitioners working together and offers practical solutions.   You can find Amy here: The Heart Attack &amp; Stroke Prevention Center Beat the Heart Attack Gene Bale Doneen Method Dr. Amy Doneen on LinkedIn   Show Notes [02:31] How Beat the Heart Attack Gene is written for everyone from patients to doctors. This book will actually have patients wanting to come to the office more often once they realize how important dental health is for stroke and heart attack prevention.  [02:57] Heart attacks and strokes are claiming lives at alarming rates. Our passion is to remove heart attacks as the number one cause of death by 2020. This would be impossible without the help of our dental colleagues. [04:04] We are passionate about nurses, doctors, and dentists talking to each other and realizing that this is connected to the entire body.  [04:35] The high risk of periodontal pathogens and how they affect the heart health. Patients are left vulnerable if you ignore what is going on in the mouth. [05:45] No one spends more time proactively with human beings. This is an incredible dental opportunity to slow things down and make an impact to the people to you serve. [06:34] How the medical system is broken because it picks people up after they have already failed or had a heart attack or stroke. [07:05] People slowly develop plaque in the wall of the artery. The bodies natural response is to heal it with a scab. If the scab blocks the flow of blood it is a heart attack in the heart or a stroke in the brain. We look at the causal effects of vascular disease including periodontal pathogens.  [08:31] There are many causes of heart disease, but periodontal and endodontic problems are major causes. Dentists and hygienists deserve huge praise in the world of cardiovascular health. [09:42] Read the literature and become your own expert. Make this a conversation instead of a challenging topic. The gum line and the roots of the teeth can cause heart attacks or plaque development. [11:02] The Dental Endorsement Package which allows dentists to use Dr. Doneen's branding to endorse dentists that do their method.  [11:48] They provide endorsed dentists with packets and brochures to educate their patients.  [12:13] Finding a medical provider that is aligned with understanding inflammation as it pertains to cardiovascular health.  [13:22] The Preceptorship program is a 17 hour course that goes over what causes heart disease and all of the tools and treatments available to manage it. This course brings everyone up to a new level of understanding. The method is proven.  [14:57] Periodontal disease is a medical problem with a dental solution. [15:16] Inflammation and genetics in precision health care.  [16:05] Having precision responses to pathogens based on individual genetics. How genetics are one of the most affordable tests that we can do.  [17:12] Genetic tests that give plausible health information.  [19:25] The importance of dentists and hygienists and embracing dental colleagues. Dentists should promote their focus on systemic health.  [20:43] Instead of giving floss and brushes give pedometers and think bigger.

Episode #108: How Dentists are Saving Lives Not Just Cleaning Teeth with Dr. Amy Doneen

Heart disease affects 81 million Americans and is the culprit in one of every two deaths.  Most people think that they are not at risk if they control their blood pressure and cholesterol but even then one can still be at high risk for heart attacks, strokes and diabetes.  Amy Doneen, medical director of the Heart Attack &amp; Stroke Prevention Center in Spokane, Washington, discusses the cost-effective tests that should be a part of any cardiovascular risk assessment, the most important lifestyle and dietary interventions, and the supplements that could be dangerous, and those that are helpful as part of a heart health program.
