Episode #182: Markers of Heart Disease Risk That EVERYONE Should Get Measured


Listen Later

LDL cholesterol is worthless for determining heart disease risk...

You may have heard this before and it mostly true.

Now what?

How do you determine your risk for heart disease if the measure that your doctor relies on (LDL) is not very useful?

Tune in to the podcast today to learn:

  • How LDL and HDL particle size and # are more accurate measures of heart disease risk
  • Markers of inflammation that also contribute to disease risk
  • Why the omega-3 index is a useful test 
  • The value of fasting insulin level
  • How to run testing yourself for cheaper than you can through most insurance companies
  • and more...
