🧠💥The amount of feedback we’ve gotten on this weeks’ episode on advanced approaches to managing cholesterol and cardiovascular risk with is so exciting. I highly recommend it to anyone in healthcare or navigating high cholesterol personally.

🔍 Key insights from this episode:

- High cholesterol has many genetic factors, and if you’re not checking if your client is a synthesizer vs. recycler, you’re missing a big part of the equation.

- Tests like ApoB and Lp(a) can tell us far more than LDL alone.

- Triglycerides are an early warning sign of insulin resistance, and HbA1c should be considered highly personalized given the latest research around the problems encountered when measuring it. This is why trends are so important.

- There are multiple medication options beyond statins (like Zetia and PCSK9 inhibitors), and Dr. Henry breaks them down in the most approachable way I’ve heard yet.

🎯 Whether you’re a provider or a patient, this episode is a masterclass in how to approach lipid panels with nuance and clarity.

📚 Bonus: Dr. Henry’s analogies (like cholesterol balls with “sticky hands”) make it all click.

Two of my favorite humans came together this week to give us the podcast version of a handbook for anyone with endometriosis or who thinks they could have it.

Endometriosis can be a painful and debilitating condition to deal with and up to 10% of American women will experience it at some point in their lives.

Moreover, it can often take from 7 to 12 years to get the right diagnosis 😞

Today, we’re doing our part to help change that. We dive deep into endometriosis symptoms, tests, and natural solutions for managing it effectively.

Dietary choline is medicine 💊 for the brain 🧠

Top food sources of choline include
🥩beef liver and beef
🍳Eggs
🌱Soybeans
🍗Chicken
🐟Cod

If you’re an adult, you need about 400-550mg of choline per day to stay healthy according to the NIH.

For context, you’d have to eat about 3 ounces of beef liver 🥘 AND one large egg 🥚every single day to get that amount.

If you or a family member are not eating these foods regularly, it’s worth a conversation with your provider about what supplementation could ensure that you still get the benefits of this important nutrient.

Many good multivitamins now contain a significant amount of choline, but have to know which ones to pick. 💊

Thank you to the researchers who put in the work to help us understand how food can be our medicine when it comes to cognitive health 💙
