Heart disease has been the leading cause of death in the U.S. for over a century—despite massive healthcare spending and widespread use of cholesterol-lowering drugs. So why aren’t we seeing better outcomes? In this episode, we’re breaking down the true drivers of heart disease and why cholesterol alone doesn’t tell the whole story. We’ll explore the key cardiovascular markers that actually matter, from inflammation and metabolic dysfunction to oxidative stress and insulin resistance.

Tune in as we dive into what your doctor might be missing, how to assess your real heart disease risk, and the diet, lifestyle, and supplement strategies that can help protect your heart. Learn why inflammation—not just cholesterol—is at the root of cardiovascular disease, and how food-as-medicine can be a powerful tool for prevention. Whether you have a family history of heart disease or just want to optimize your health, this episode is packed with essential insights!
