As a cardiologist, I often recommend certain supplements alongside medications to support heart health. Here are six that are backed by research:
-
1️⃣Omega-3s (Fish Oil):
Helps lower triglycerides, reduce blood pressure, and decrease arrhythmia risk.
-
2️⃣CoQ10:
Supports energy production in cells. It may improve heart function, especially in patients with heart failure.
-
3️⃣Magnesium:
Essential for maintaining a healthy heart rhythm and blood pressure. Low levels can trigger arrhythmias.
-
4️⃣Soluble Fiber (like psyllium or oat bran):
Helps lower LDL cholesterol, which reduces the risk of heart disease.
-
5️⃣Potassium:
Balances sodium and supports blood pressure control. We usually aim for levels between 4–5 mEq/L.
-
6️⃣Vitamin D:
Low levels are linked to increased heart disease risk. Supplementation may help if you’re deficient.
-
⚠️Remember: Always talk to your healthcare provider before starting any new supplements.

When you sit for 8+ hours, your body’s natural circulation pump—your “second heart” (your calf muscles)—basically shuts off. Blood pools. Pressure builds. Risk rises.
Here are 3 non-negotiable rules to protect your legs and keep your circulation moving.
Save this for Monday morning.
-
1️⃣The 60-Minute Stand Rule:
Non-negotiable. Every hour → stand for at least 60 seconds.
Walk, stretch, move—anything to break the static posture and reset your circulation.
-
2️⃣Fire Up Your Calves (Even While Sitting):
You don’t even have to leave the chair.
Every 30 minutes, do 20–30 ankle pumps (flex your feet up and down). This keeps your “second heart” working.
-
3️⃣Hydrate Like It Matters (Because It Does):
Dehydration = thicker blood = higher clot risk.
Keep a large bottle with you and refill constantly.
Aim for half your body weight in ounces per day.
-
These habits matter at any age—but after 35, your risk for DVT and varicose veins climbs fast.
What’s your biggest struggle with sitting all day? Drop it below and let’s fix it.🙌🏽🙌🏽

Dr. Nalos has done so much good here in our community of Bakersfield for many years, but that doesn’t stop here locally. In 2016 he founded an African Children’s Schools Non profit organization, which builds schools for children in Africa.

Currently his non profit is supporting 4500+ children in 3 nations. He is devoted to helping anyone he can, and encouraging those around him to do the same. Not to mention, he is one of the best Electrophysiologist/cardiologists in the nation, and has been a part of the CCMC/Centric Health family for almost 40 years!!

KNOW YOUR NUMBERS‼️
-
Do you know your blood pressure? It could be the difference between a healthy heart... and a heart attack!!
-
📊Numbers Breakdown:
• Normal: Below 120/80
• Elevated: 120-129 / below 80
• High (Hypertension):
-Stage 1: 130-139 / 80-89
-Stage 2: 140+ / 90+
👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
🫀Why it matters:
High blood pressure silently damages your heart, kidneys, and blood vessels. It makes stroke, heart attack, and heart failure more likely.
👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
🏋🏽‍♂️Lifestyle Fixes:
• Move more
• Eat potassium-rich veggies
• Cut salt
• Limit alcohol
• Lose weight
• Don’t smoke or v**e
• Eliminate as much stress as possible

❤️🇺🇸 Presidents’ Day 🇺🇸❤️

Great leaders take care of the nation.
But who’s taking care of your heart?
This Presidents’ Day, remember:
• Heart disease is still the #1 cause of death in America
• Prevention is powerful
• Early detection saves lives
You don’t have to run a country —
but you do need to protect your most important organ.
Lead your family by example.
-
Know your numbers. Move daily. Eat smart. Get checked.
❤️ Strong heart. Strong future.

After decades of treating heart disease…
I can tell you this — it’s not just about one or two things, It’s about what you do every single day.
Here are the habits I do my best to stick to:
-
1️⃣ Walk 7,000–10,000 steps a day. Movement lowers blood pressure and keeps insulin in check.
2️⃣Eat Protein. It balances blood sugar and supports lean muscle — one of the best longevity markers. 20-30g per meal.
3️⃣No screens for 30–60 minutes after waking. Give your nervous system time to wake up calmly — not with cortisol spikes.
4️⃣Water before coffee. One full glass of water helps stabilize blood pressure and energy. 8 glasses a day.
5️⃣Stay away from ultra-processed foods/snacks.
6️⃣BONUS: Track your blood pressure weekly. BP is your daily heart check-in.
-
These aren’t quick fixes — they’re lifelong habits.
Because the best way to treat heart disease…
is to prevent it before it starts.🫶🏽
