Ep. 517 The Hidden Heart Risks No One Talks About – A Masterclass on Women’s Cardiovascular Health


Listen Later

I’m excited to share a new AMA episode with you today, dedicated to risk factors specific to women.

In this AMA session, I dive into the lifestyle factors that influence lipids, exploring the latest research and discussing Lp(a) and ApoB. Rather than answering your individual questions, I have woven them into the overall outline to create a cohesive and informative conversation.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:

  • How women’s lifestyle choices directly affect their lipid profiles

  • How knowing if you’re a hyper absorber or hyper producer of cholesterol will change your treatment strategy

  • What the Boston Heart Cholesterol Balance test will reveal about your body’s ability to handle cholesterol

  • The best treatments for hyper absorbers, and the best treatments for hyper producers

  • How hard plaque differs from soft plaque, and why that matters for women’s heart health

  • How the new AI-assisted Clearly scan provides a more complete cardiovascular risk picture than a standard calcium score

  • How chronic stress and elevated cortisol fuel insulin resistance and inflammation, and damage blood vessel linings

  • The benefits of Mediterranean-style eating for improving lipid balance, vasomotor symptoms, and overall metabolic health

  • The importance of managing trauma, stress, and emotional health in midlife

  • How my “n=1” experiment with Zetia and micro-dosed GLP-1s significantly improved my ApoB and inflammation markers
