Episode #164: Beyond Cholesterol: Diving Deep into the Development of Heart Disease


Listen Later

Heart disease is the #1 killer in this country with nearly 1 in 3 Americans predicted to lose their life due to a heart related condition. 

For this reason, I think it is important to have a deep understanding of the factors that contribute to the development of heart disease so that you can mitigate your risk. 

In this episode you will learn: 

-How poor vascular function contributes to the development of heart disease

-Why LDL particle size and number of more important than LDL particle concentration when it comes to heart disease risk 

-The role of inflammation to the formation of a plaque 

-How antioxidants can protect you from heart disease

-Tests to ask for that go well beyond standard conventional medicine testing
