In this 148th episode we delve into the intricacies of cardiovascular health by shining a light on some often-overlooked cardiovascular risks that could be influencing your heart health: trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL), and homocysteine.

These biochemical markers provide crucial insights into our cardiovascular health, yet many people remain unaware of their significance or even their existence.

Join us as we explore how these compounds are formed, their implications for heart disease, and how you can take control of your cardiovascular well-being.
