ABOUT DR. BREWER
Dr. Brewer started as an Emergency Doctor. After seeing too many preventable heart attacks, he went to Johns Hopkins to learn Preventive Medicine. While there, he went on the run the post-graduate training program (residency) in Preventive Medicine. From there, he made a career of practicing and managing preventive medicine and primary care clinics. His later role in this area was Chief Medical Officer for Premise, which has close to 1,000 primary care/prevention clinics. He was also the Chief Medical Officer for MDLIVE, the second largest telemedicine company. More recently, he founded PrevMed, a heart attack, and stroke prevention clinic.
At PrevMed, we focus on heart attack, stroke, and cognitive decline. We serve patients who have already experienced an event as well as those who have not developed a diagnosis or event. Dr. Brewer provides services via telemedicine or in person if you're in the Lexington, KY area. We find a lot of undiagnosed Pre-Diabetes or Insulin Resistance. Treating unrecognized risk factors like Pre-Diabetes allows reduction of risk and prevention of disease.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
Ford Brewer MD MPH PrevMedHeartRisk.com
Many of my patients come to me after seeing a cardiologist. Many of these are already on a statin. If they are on a statin, it's usually Lipitor.
Lipitor has been by far the most popular statin. It does a good job of lowering LDL. But LDL is usually not the problem. Inflammation is. And Lipitor doesn't seem to help with inflammation if you're a female - or if you have insulin resistance (70% of the remaining male population). So, yes I use statins, but not usually Lipitor.
Female? Insulin resistant? on Lipitor? It drops LDL, but doesn't drop inflammation. Check it out. diseases caused by air pollution | |
