A Cholesterol Conundrum
- Vinnie recently posted on social media about the Women’s Health Initiative. (3:00)
- The problem with Google is that you can “Google yourself right,” so you can always find confirmation bias.
- There is a growing awareness of what constitutes a “clean” product. (17:00)
- For example, Anna’s spices do not have fillers, preservatives, or anti-caking agents.
- Vinnie shares a story about a recent consultation. (28:00)
- CAC scans (calcium score test) are a great guide to see if heart disease will be an issue for you.
- Repatha was recommended even though the patient’s numbers were great, and his calcium score was zero.
- Consider exploring natural supplements and lifestyle changes to manage cholesterol.
- The Cholesterol Code movie by Dave Feldman provides good information on cholesterol levels and the benefits of a low-carb diet.
- Anna goes over some bloodwork numbers and wants to discuss with her doctor. (50:00)
- Remember that the number ranges given in the results are representative of the general population. (52:00)
- It is often recommended to take CoQ10 alongside a statin. Statins deplete CoQ10, which can lead to muscle damage.
- Anna’s products are now linked to PureVitamin Club’s website. Look under the “Food and Snacks” section so that you can purchase them there, too. (58:30)
