Normal Is Not Enough with Dr. Eric Pifer

My labs were abnormal for years. My calcium score was 166. My stress test was “negative” at 17 METs. And I had coronary artery disease.

I’m Dr. Eric Pifer, a physician in metabolic medicine, and this channel is about one idea: normal is not enough. Most heart attacks don’t start at severe blockages. They start when soft, non-blocking plaque ruptures, and standard checkups aren’t built to find it.

Here you’ll learn how to:
• Measure plaque directly with CT angiography and AI-assisted plaque analysis
• Use ApoB, not just LDL, and how low to take it
• Weigh statins, ezetimibe, bempedoic acid and PCSK9 inhibitors
• Reduce visceral fat and build muscle after 50, with or without GLP-1 medicines
• Use CPET, VO2 max and VT1 to train for a longer life

I’m telling my own story along the way, real scans and real numbers, imperfections included.
