Longevity Lab: Cholesterol

Welcome to the first episode of Longevity Lab, our monthly series exploring the biomarkers, habits, and nutrition strategies that influence how well—and how long—we live.

In this episode, Julia breaks down the science of cholesterol in a practical, easy-to-understand way. Learn why cholesterol isn't the villain it's often made out to be, what your blood lipid panel is really telling you, and how nutrition can help improve your numbers naturally.

You'll discover:

• The difference between LDL, HDL, triglycerides, and ApoB
• Why dietary cholesterol isn't the whole story
• The surprising connection between carbohydrates, insulin resistance, and cholesterol levels
• How fiber helps your body remove excess cholesterol
• The foods that support healthier cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health
• The one additional test Julia recommends beyond a standard lipid panel

Longevity starts with understanding your numbers—and knowing how to influence them.
