Beyond Basic Cholesterol


Listen Later

🫀 Did you know that 50% of heart attacks happen in people with normal cholesterol levels? That means traditional heart screenings often miss early warning signs—but the good news is, there’s so much more we can do to assess and prevent heart disease before it becomes life-threatening.
In this episode, I’m diving into:
✅ Why heart disease is still the #1 cause of death—and how we can prevent it
✅ The standard heart health tests most doctors run (and why they aren’t enough)
✅ The advanced lab markers that give a clearer picture of cardiovascular risk
✅ The difference between a CT Calcium Score vs. CT Angiogram and why I recommend one over the other
✅ How Cleerly’s AI-driven technology is revolutionizing heart disease prevention
✅ Lifestyle strategies to optimize your heart health starting today
💡 Key Takeaways:
80% of heart disease is preventable with early detection and lifestyle changes.
Standard cholesterol tests don’t tell the whole story—we need deeper testing like ApoB, Lp(a), hs-CRP, and insulin markers.
A CT Angiogram with Cleerly analysis can detect and quantify soft plaque, which is critical for preventing heart attacks.
Small changes like nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, and targeted supplements can significantly reduce your risk.
