❤️ Heart disease remains the leading cause of death for both men and women, yet many people don't realize the warning signs can begin years, even decades, before symptoms appear.
In this episode of the FMI Podcast, Amber Warren, PA-C, sits down with Dr. Gavin Guard, DMS, PA-C, for a deep dive into the connection between insulin resistance, metabolic health, and cardiovascular disease.
Together, they discuss:
✔️ Why standard cholesterol testing may not tell the whole story
✔️ The importance of ApoB and early screening
✔️ How insulin resistance impacts heart health long before diabetes develops
✔️ The role of body composition, visceral fat, and metabolic dysfunction
✔️ What you can do now to lower your long term cardiovascular risk
If you're interested in preventing disease instead of simply reacting to it, this episode is packed with practical insights and cutting edge information you won't want to miss.

Your brain may be speaking long before symptoms appear. 🧠
New research is showing that subtle speech patterns, like frequent pauses, trouble finding words, or fillers such as “um” and “uh”, may actually reflect changes in executive function and overall brain health.
Executive function is what helps us focus, plan, remember information, make decisions, and manage daily tasks. And according to emerging research, the way we naturally communicate may offer important clues about how well these systems are functioning behind the scenes.
At FMI, we believe the body is always communicating with us. Sometimes the smallest signs can offer the biggest insight.
The good news? Brain health is something we can actively support through:
✨ Quality sleep
✨ Stress management
✨ Nutrient-dense foods
✨ Regular movement
✨ Meaningful connection
Early awareness creates opportunity, and small changes today can protect your future tomorrow.
