Listen Later

This week, Dr. Kahn discusses a patient profile featured in the Wall Street Journal highlighting a rare inherited cholesterol disorder called sitosterolemia. He reviews the case study, explores the condition, and explains why ezetimibe is an excellent prescription choice for lowering both cholesterol and blood plant sterol levels. Additionally, Dr. Kahn shares why he avoids using plant sterols in his clinic.

The episode also covers a variety of short topics, including new research on drugs to lower Lp(a), the protective effects of cocoa and green tea against artery damage from high-fat meals, the benefits of nicotinamide riboside and dietary niacin, and the longevity perks of moderate coffee intake.
