TMAO and Heart Disease
Recent research challenges the notion that TMAO directly causes cardiovascular disease, suggesting instead that elevated TMAO levels may simply indicate insulin resistance. Both Paul and Tommy discuss how TMAO is linked to metabolic conditions like type two diabetes, emphasizing that dietary components like choline and carnitine are essential for health and should not be restricted. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the relationship between biomarkers and underlying health issues rather than jumping to causative conclusions.In this clip
