Summary

Have you heard of Lp(a)? Want to know how you can lower this important cardiovascular risk marker? Tune in to hear us discuss lipoprotein a, what it means, ideal ranges, and how you can lower it naturally to decrease your risk.    Lp(a) is an independent risk factor for heart disease and stroke, yet often overlooked or left unchecked. Conventional treatment with statin drugs can actually increase Lp(a) values by 15-20%, increasing your risk. In this episode we will discuss natural ways to lower Lp(a) from PCSK9 inhibitors, to bile drivers, to fiber, and specific nutrients that address this lab value without the side effects of medication.    Also in this episode:  Save $50 on the CardioMetabolic Panel with code CMP50 Episode 284 on how to navigate a cardiometabolic panel + interventions Episode 296 Carnitine + arrhythmia and heart failure Episode 331 Homocysteine and vascular health + blood pressure updates What is Lp(a)?
