Before going to medical school, Paul was a physician assistant and worked in cardiology for four years. He says he gave out statins because he did what he was told as a PA. But his clinical experience was very different from that of many other doctors. "We believed it all without even accepting or thinking about any alternative"
This week, Paul chats with cardiologist, public health campaigner and author, Aseem Malhotra. They touch on pharmaceuticals, statins, and whether LDL cholesterol is a big deal. They also provide tools to assess your metabolic health and stress levels in an objective manner.
