The most deadly disease is metabolic disease. And most people haven’t even heard about metabolic disease for two reasons:

1. While metabolic disease has been around as long as humans have been, the skyrocketing epidemic of metabolic disease is relatively new – over the last few decades. Today, almost 90% of us have at least one sign of having metabolic disease.

2. Metabolic disease is not just one thing. It’s a combination of health problems that often go together – and work synergistically to make us sick – and take our lives too early. You may have metabolic disease if you are one of the 88% of us who has one or more of the following:

· An unhealthy weight
· High blood pressure
· High blood sugar levels
· Unhealthy cholesterol levels

I understand if it’s frightening to find out you have metabolic disease. Nobody wants to be at high risk for the leading cause of death, disease, and disability – the thing most likely to take healthy, vital years away from us, but here’s why it’s so important to know you have metabolic disease NOW. Because metabolic disease is very treatable – and healing your metabolism by treating the ROOT CAUSES will dramatically lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, dementia, and even dying from COVID. By as much as 80%! The best treatment for metabolic disease is NOT just a pill or an operation. Expert medical care is essential to treating metabolic disease, but if you stop there - if you rely on healthcare alone to treat your metabolic disease – you are NOT getting the best care – by a long shot. How To Treat Metabolic Disease

TREAT THE ROOT CAUSES (Get the FULL guide by going to HealthspanMD.com/Ten

But here’s the deal – most people with metabolic disease are using band-aids, and DON’T treat the root causes of the problem. Medications and operations can be lifesaving tools – when applied to the right person at the right time – but they can also be bandaids – that are just covering cover up the problem – and not addressing the root causes. The Root Causes of Metabolic Disease (download my free guide on the Ten Essentials to treating the causes of Metabolic Disease by going to HealthspanMD.com/Ten)

1. Poor nutrition
2. Lack of physical activity
3. Toxins
4. Inadequate Sleep
5. Poorly Managed Stress
6. Connection

I want to emphasize again that treating the root causes and expert medical care is NOT an either/or choice. If you want the best health and longevity, you need BOTH. If you recognize you need to treat your root causes – meaning you haven’t been able to lose weight and keep it off – your blood pressure, sugar, or cholesterol is not where it needs to be, if you know you’re taking too many medications, and are aging faster than you want - and you’ve made the decision that you’re not going to settle for less than the best life –here’s how I can help - schedule a strategy consultation with us by going to go to: https://calendly.com/afibhealthspanmd/strategy-consultation

In this strategy consultation, we will speak with you personally about what is holding you back – how you can start treating your root causes – and show you how you can live a long, vital life. And the cost of this valuable strategy session– absolutely free. If you’re ready to book your strategy consultation, go to https://calendly.com/afibhealthspanmd/strategy-consultation

And until then…
Lead the best life

The Only Premier Medical Practice Focused on Heart Health and Longevity

12/27/2025

Nearly 2,000 people die of heart disease in the U.S. every day.
That’s one life lost every 43 seconds.
And almost all of those deaths are preventable.

At HealthspanMD, we believe no one should die of a heart attack. Ever.
And that is our mission.

I’m Dr. Robert Todd Hurst, a board-certified preventive cardiologist. I spent 20 years at the Mayo Clinic, where I saw up close the failures of traditional healthcare, rushed visits with not enough time to truly understand the needs of the patient, treatments limited to just another procedure or prescription, and people coming to me only after a heart attack or years of silent damage that could have been identified and stopped (sometimes decades before).

That’s why I built HealthspanMD. The first practice designed specifically to provide a comprehensive approach to prevent, treat, and even reverse heart disease that gets results.

We do this by uncovering root causes, creating a personalized plan, and giving you the system and support to finally get results.

No one should ever die of a heart attack. Ever. And that is my mission to make that statement a reality.
