but couldn't you argue that raising HDL if it's low is protective? this is the part I'm not understanding. obviously the apoB is the important number, but if a low HDL increases risk then increasing it in someone with low HDL to a normal level should decrease risk?

Isn’t particle size most important…? Large fluffy is good. Also low triglyceride’s is important too

Can eating a healthy Mediterranean diet truly help with keeping your heart healthy and help get your numbers closer to where they should all be?

So getting the LDL and ApoB down if you have high lp(a) is the most important thing? How low do you want your LDL if you have high lp(a)?

It’s frustrating that we are decades into research and seems we’re still guessing what exactly we’re supposed to be looking at.

My husband has Lp(a) above 300 so really looking forward to your video on that topic. He survived an OHCA 11 months ago. Lucky man. Happy I found your videos.

Actionable truth like this is so valuable. Taking care of the 'engine' is the best long-term investment anyone can make

The number of the ldl particles are critical to know. They may be bigger but numbers matter.
