The Heart Is Not A Pump! - Dr. Thomas Cowan

yes, I am aware that his CA license was cancelled. which means he probably spoke too much truth.
regardless, it appears that the blood velocity entering the heart equals the velocity of blood exiting the heart. the analogy he gives that you never put a pump into a flowing river to pump it with exactly the river flow speed. you put it a the point where it stopped. the 'pumping' force seems to come from the capillaries where the velocity is close to 0, through a mechanism I can't explain very well (he goes in detail in the video)
the interesting part is that in this case a lot so called heart issues would point mainly to metabolic/mitochondrial health as opposed to 'heart issues'. also mentions that high BP is a compensatory mechanism and many drugs are damaging to the bodies ability to repair.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
