Episode 3: Measuring Lipoprotein Particles vs. Just Cholesterol

In this episode, Dr. William Cromwell once again shares a LOT of important knowledge about what is going on with your body and the biomarkers that inform your risk of cardiovascular disease. He masterfully breaks down the difference between measuring “just cholesterol” instead of measuring the atherogenic particles that carry cholesterol in the body. Measuring LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides alone are fine at the very high and very low ends of the spectrum, but people in the middle show a great deal of discordance between cholesterol and particle measurements and can greatly benefit from understanding their particle measurements, and therefore their risk of developing heart disease.

Detailed show notes are forthcoming. Stay tuned! In the meantime, check out this blog post about measuring lipoprotein particles
