Why Your 'Good' Cholesterol Numbers Could Still Mean Heart Disease Risk
Heart disease is still the leading cause of death, yet most people never learn about the tests that actually reveal their true risk.
In this episode of the Medical Disruptor, I explain why your genetics are not your destiny, why traditional cholesterol panels often miss the full picture, and how modern testing can show what is really happening inside your arteries.
My goal in this episode is to help you understand your true risk, build a prevention-focused care team, and take back control with information that is rooted in evidence, not fear.
If you’ve ever been told your labs are “normal” but still want deeper answers, this episode gives you the modern roadmap for protecting your heart. Looking to schedule a consultation with Dr. E? Book here: drefratlamandre.com/consult
