Understanding the Misconceptions about LDL Cholesterol and Heart Disease

Watch the full video interview on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/wRjQCG4NU-Y

Dr. Malcolm Kendrick is a General Practitioner and bestselling author. 

He is now well worn around the edges, from battling the cholesterol hypothesis. This hypotheses states that an elevated blood level of LDL cholesterol causes heart disease.

Malcolm’s most recent book is The Clot Thickens: The Enduring Mystery of Heart Disease.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The cholesterol hypothesis is wrong
• What is atherosclerosis?
• Saturated fat doesn’t raise LDL cholesterol (why it’s impossible)
• What makes an artery more prone to a blood clot? (vs a vein)
• What is the glycocalyx?
• The anatomy of plaque in arteries
• LPa is different than LDL
• The process of blood clotting
• Why doctors are stuck focusing on LDL cholesterol
• The thrombogenic hypothesis
• The REAL causes of heart disease
• Practical tips to repair the endothelium & protect the glycocalyx
