Supplements, cold plunges<\/a>, and eating whole foods have become the holy grail for anyone trying to achieve longevity or protect their heart health. However, these quick fixes are not what ensure that you will stay healthy, including your heart.<\/p>\n

According to Dr Sanjay Bhojraj, an interventional cardiologist <\/a>from California, US, and founder of Laguna Institute of Functional Medicine, it is about recognising the signs your body is giving and finding solutions accordingly.<\/p>\n

\u2018You don\u2019t need 15 supplements, cold plunges every morning\u2026\u2019<\/p>\n

In an Instagram post shared on October 10, the cardiologist highlighted the importance of understanding one’s body and identifying the root causes of health problems, rather than resorting to supplements <\/a>and other quick fixes mindlessly.<\/p>\n

Sharing the post, Dr Bhojraj wrote, \u201cLet me de-influence you as a 49-year-old doctor and functional cardiologist. You don\u2019t need 15 supplements, cold plunges every morning, or to cut out every \u2018bad\u2019 food to protect your heart and stay young. You need to understand your body \u2014 and the root causes of why it\u2019s slowing down, inflamed, or running on empty.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Your body isn\u2019t failing you. It\u2019s trying to get your attention\u2019<\/p>\n

The cardiologist highlighted that after over 20+ years in medicine, he has seen the same story repeat itself: \u201cHigh-performing people, business owners, parents, athletes \u2014 running on caffeine, stress, and convenience, until their body finally says no more.\u201d It is because people forget to find the root cause of their problems, Dr Bhojraj stressed.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the cardiologist stressed that if you\u2019re: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Always tired, even after sleep. <\/li>\n
  2. Experiencing chest pressure, shortness of breath, or anxiety that feels \u2018different\u2019.<\/li>\n
  3. Foggy, inflamed, or just not feeling like yourself anymore.<\/li>\n
  4. Using quick fixes to get through the day instead of actually healing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    He highlighted that all of these are not signs that your body is failing you; rather, it\u2019s trying to get your attention.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThe truth is, your heart health isn\u2019t just about cholesterol or blood pressure. It\u2019s about inflammation, hormones, gut health, sleep quality, stress response \u2014 all interconnected,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

    Therefore, he emphasised that it is essential to combine advanced diagnostics, personalised functional medicine, and decades of cardiology expertise to help people regain their vitality from the inside out. \u201cBecause health isn\u2019t about doing more. It\u2019s about doing what\u2019s right for you,\u201d the cardiologist said.<\/p>\n
