In this episode, Kevin and Dr. Matt Kaeberlein sit down to unpack one of the most cutting-edge tools in heart health today: the CLEARLY exam — a high-tech, AI-powered look at your arteries that doesn’t just show your heart, it tells you what’s really going on inside it.

They walk through their own CLEARLY results (yep, you're getting the inside scoop), explain what plaque burden and stenosis actually mean, and why soft plaque is the sneaky troublemaker you need to know about. 💥

You’ll hear real talk about the psychological weight of health data (spoiler: knowing is way better than guessing), how AI is changing the game in cardiovascular imaging, and most importantly — what you can do with all this info to take control of your heart health.

They look back on the journey—from early awkward recordings to rubbing elbows with health experts at the Live Long Conference—and share some of the biggest lessons they've learned along the way.

The guys dive into why cardiovascular health is kind of a big deal (hint: it keeps you alive), the scary truth about soft plaque, and why heart health screenings need a serious glow-up. They also geek out over the latest breakthroughs in neurodegenerative disease research—and why early detection might just be the real MVP of health care.
