EP44: Heart Attacks with No Warning? The Test Every High-Achieving Man Over 60 Should Know About

You didn’t retire to decline. You exited to live—with energy, presence, and purpose.

But here’s the wake-up call few are talking about: two-thirds of first-time heart attacks come with zero symptoms.

And by the time most men find out they’re at risk… it’s too late.

This isn’t about fear. It’s about precision.

It’s about understanding the hidden threats standard labs and executive physicals miss. And most importantly—it’s about reversing them, with the right tools and support.

Let’s dive into what I discovered in a powerful interview with Amy Spahic, cardiac research nurse, and Dr. Sam Fillingane, DO—two trailblazers using cutting-edge technology to help men 60+ extend not just their lifespan, but their healthspan.

You might have a perfect calcium score. Normal EKG. Good cholesterol. But those only detect late-stage issues. What they don’t see is:

• Early inflammation

• Small vessel disease (often the root of fatigue)

• Mitochondrial dysfunction (a precursor to cancer, cognitive decline, and more)
  
  

“66% of heart attacks come from arteries that are only 30–50% blocked,” Dr. Sam shared. “And patients have no warning.”

Translation? If you're waiting for symptoms, you're already behind.

Enter the Multifunction Cardiogram (MCG)—a non-invasive, AI-powered diagnostic tool that reveals:

• Small vessel disease

• Heart failure up to 8 years before symptoms

• Mitochondrial dysfunction

• Cardiovascular inflammation
  
  

It delivers a simple 0–22 score (anything over 4 = significant risk). Unlike typical heart scans, the MCG can catch issues before they become dangerous—and show you if treatment is actually working.

“This machine could’ve saved my father,” Amy said. “Now it’s saving lives every day—including mine.”

Mitochondria are your cells’ power plants. When they break down, your energy tanks. But the effects go far beyond fatigue:

• Accelerated aging

• Cognitive decline

• Autoimmune triggers

• Cancer-causing mutations
  
  

This dysfunction doesn’t show up in a standard physical. But the MCG detects it—and tracks reversal over time.

“We’ve seen men go from exhaustion to full restoration—once we address the root,” says Dr. Sam.

This common but underdiagnosed genetic mutation blocks detox pathways and nitric oxide production—leading to:

• Cardiovascular risk

• Mood disorders

• Cognitive fog

• Mitochondrial failure
  
  

It’s a hidden trigger for many of the “normal” issues men face in their 60s—yet few doctors test for it.

“By age 50, this mutation becomes a problem for most men. You need to know if you have it,” Dr. Sam emphasized.

Even if you eat clean, travel well, and exercise—your gut barrier may be compromised from antibiotics, alcohol, stress, or poor sleep.

When your gut leaks, bacteria enter your bloodstream—overloading your immune system and clouding your brain.

This leads to:

• Chronic fatigue

• Memory lapses

• Increased risk of Alzheimer’s

• Autoimmune disorders
  
  

The good news? It’s reversible—if caught early.

With the right plan and commitment, men in their 60s and 70s are reversing:

• Blocked arteries (both large and small vessels)

• Mitochondrial dysfunction

• Leaky gut

• Brain fog and chronic fatigue
  
  

“I’ve seen men go from foggy, tired, and scared… to clear, strong, and confident again,” Amy shared.
