Most people focus on LDL cholesterol—but that’s only part of the story.

Your lipid tests work as a pattern, and that pattern can reveal hidden metabolic and heart risk.

This article breaks it down simply and shows what actually helps improve your numbers.

📊 Did you know your mental health directly impacts your heart health?

If you live with depression or bipolar disorder, you might be facing hidden cardiovascular risks. New research reveals a powerful link between mood disorders and a specific blood marker called the Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP).

We've created a FREE, easy-to-use AIP Calculator so you can understand your personal risk in seconds.

Could a simple number from your regular cholesterol test tell you about your future brain health? New research says YES.

It's called the Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP), and it might be one of the most overlooked warning signs for cognitive decline.

Discover what your AIP score means, how to calculate it instantly, and the 4-step plan to improve it. Your brain will thank you.

Your lipid profile may hold a clue to your mental health.

Did you know the triglyceride and HDL from your cholesterol panel can give you the AIP, which is now linked to a higher risk of depression and bipolar disorder?

It’s not just about your heart anymore. Discover the science and learn what your AIP means for your brain. 💙🧠

A simple number combining waist circumference and fasting triglycerides may reveal metabolic risk that BMI can miss.

In this article, I break down a large review linking Lipid Accumulation Product (LAP) with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and mortality risk—and I included an LAP calculator so you can estimate your own score.

Prediabetes and type 2 diabetes often change your triglycerides and HDL long before symptoms show up.

This article explains AIP (Atherogenic Index of Plasma) in plain English—and includes an easy AIP calculator you can use with your lab results to spot risk patterns and take action early.

Your angiogram was “fine”… so why did the heart attack still happen?

There’s a type of heart attack called MINOCA—where the angiogram shows no major blockage, yet the damage is real.

In this article, I explain MINOCA in plain English and introduce a simple, inexpensive marker—AIP (Atherogenic Index of Plasma)—that may help flag hidden risk even after a “reassuring” angiogram.

AIP calculator included.

Low LDL is important—but it’s not the whole story.

A new study shows that even with LDL below 70 mg/dL, your triglycerides, HDL, and AIP (atherogenic index of plasma) can still predict repeat stents and major events.

This post includes an AIP calculator, guidepost values, and a simple plan to improve AIP now—before you ever need a PCI.

🎧 Trilingual audio included (English, Mandarin, Latin American Spanish).

Heart attacks don’t only happen to seniors.

In this new article, I explain how AIP (log TG/HDL) can help flag higher heart-attack risk in younger adults with premature coronary artery disease—based on research findings—and how to use AIP as a trend marker you can improve.

✅ Includes an AIP calculator + trilingual audio (English, Spanish, Mandarin).

AIP is a simple number made from triglycerides and HDL (TG/HDL) that can help you spot an atherogenic pattern linked with artery disease risk.

In this article, I explain AIP in plain English, summarize key research, and include an AIP calculator—plus a clear action plan to improve your score over time.

Bonus: trilingual audio (English, Spanish, Mandarin) is included.

Most people look at cholesterol numbers one by one—but how those numbers relate to each other can reveal much more.

In this article, I explain 15 diseases predicted by the Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) and why this simple ratio can uncover hidden cardiometabolic risk, even when standard labs look normal.

The article also includes an AIP calculator and trilingual audio (English, Mandarin, and Latin American Spanish) for easier listening.

Many people with “normal” LDL still develop heart disease.

One reason is hidden in the Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP)—a simple calculation using triglycerides and HDL that reflects lipid quality and metabolic risk.

This article explains what AIP means, how it’s used clinically, and includes a calculator you can use if you have your triglyceride and HDL numbers available.
