If high cholesterol “runs in your family”…does that mean you’re stuck with it? or that you can't do anything to help?
Not exactly.
In this episode, we’re breaking down the truth about genetic cholesterol, including conditions like Familial Hypercholesterolemia—and why genetics are only one piece of the puzzle.
Inside this episode, we cover:
- Why genetics don’t guarantee outcomes
- The role of Epigenetics in cholesterol expression
- Why LDL alone is a poor predictor of cardiovascular risk
- What actually drives heart disease (hint: it’s not just cholesterol)
- How your Metabolic Scorecard changes the entire conversation
- Where statins fit—and where they may not
- Why cholesterol isn't the problem
