In this episode of Extend, we’re rethinking everything you’ve been told about cholesterol. For decades, the focus has been on lowering LDL, but that’s only part of the story. The truth? LDL and total cholesterol are outdated metrics. If you're still relying on those alone to assess your heart health, you’re missing the bigger picture.
I’ll break down why ApoB is the single most important number to track when it comes to cardiovascular disease, and how it gives a much clearer view of your real risk. You’ll learn how plaque forms, why inflammation and metabolic dysfunction matter just as much as cholesterol, and how to approach your heart health with precision.
I'll also cover how to lower ApoB naturally, when medication might make sense, and how advanced scans like CLEARLY can help guide your strategy. ➡️If longevity is your goal, this episode is a must-listen. Let’s move beyond outdated labs and into next-gen heart prevention.
