In Part 2 of the cholesterol series, we're taking a deeper look at why cholesterol labs are often misunderstood and why context matters when evaluating cardiovascular risk.

We'll break down markers like LDL, HDL, triglycerides, ApoB, and ApoA1, discuss the role of inflammation and metabolic health, and explore why two people with similar cholesterol numbers can have very different risk profiles.

We'll also dive into statins—how they work, why they're so heavily debated, and the situations where they may provide meaningful benefit.

Finally, we'll discuss how to improve cholesterol markers through a pro-metabolic lens by focusing on the underlying metabolic environment rather than simply chasing lower numbers.
