# How to Reverse Heart Disease with a Low-Carb, High-Fat Diet

Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, affecting millions of people every year. It is a chronic condition that involves the narrowing or blockage of the arteries that supply blood to the heart, causing chest pain, heart attack, or stroke. The conventional treatment for heart disease is to lower cholesterol levels with drugs called statins, which are supposed to prevent further damage to the arteries. However, statins have many side effects and do not address the root cause of the problem.

What if there was a way to reverse heart disease naturally, without drugs or surgery? What if you could heal your heart by changing your diet and lifestyle? That is the premise of a new documentary called EXTRA TIME, which is produced by The Fat Emperor, a website and podcast that decodes the science of health and nutrition.

EXTRA TIME is a film that shows how four people with different levels of heart disease reversed their condition by following a low-carb, high-fat (LCHF) diet and lifestyle. The film is described as "a story of hope, courage, and transformation" that challenges the conventional wisdom on cholesterol, statins, and heart health.

The film features four participants:

- **John**, a 62-year-old former rugby player who had a heart attack and was told he needed a triple bypass surgery. He refused the operation and decided to try the LCHF diet instead. He lost 30 kg and improved his blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels.

- **Sarah**, a 52-year-old nurse who had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. She was taking multiple medications and was at risk of having a stroke. She switched to the LCHF diet and reversed her diabetes, lowered her blood pressure, and reduced her cholesterol levels.

- **Dave**, a 49-year-old engineer who had angina, a condition that causes chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart. He was taking statins and nitroglycerin to relieve his symptoms. He adopted the LCHF diet and eliminated his angina, stopped taking his medications, and increased his energy levels.

- **Mary**, a 45-year-old mother of three who had familial hypercholesterolemia, a genetic disorder that causes very high cholesterol levels. She was taking statins since she was 18 and was worried about her future health. She followed the LCHF diet and lowered her cholesterol levels, improved her mood, and regained her confidence.

The film follows their journeys as they learn about the science behind the LCHF diet, how it affects their heart health, and how it changes their lives. The film also features interviews with experts such as Dr. Aseem Malhotra, Dr. David Diamond, Dr. Jeff Gerber, Dr. David Unwin, Dr. Zoe Harcombe, Dr. Paul Mason, Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Tim Noakes, and others who explain the benefits of the LCHF diet for weight loss and disease prevention.

EXTRA TIME is a documentary that will inspire you, educate you, and make you rethink everything you know about heart disease. It is not just about the diet, it is about the people who follow it.

If you want to watch EXTRA TIME or learn more about it, you can visit the official website, where you can stream or download the film for a small fee. You can also watch the trailer on Vimeo or listen to an interview with the producer, Donal O'Neill, on Spotify. If you are a fan of The Fat Emperor
