Your Doctor Lied to You About Cholesterol

There is more to cholesterol than you think

Your cholesterol numbers look fine — but are you actually safe? In this video, I explain why the standard cholesterol test your doctor runs is missing a critical risk factor: Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a). You can have perfect LDL, HDL, and triglycerides — and still have dangerous plaque building in your arteries. Most doctors don't test for Lp(a) because it's not part of the standard panel. But 1 in 5 people have elevated levels and don't even know it. I'm a retired doctor with 30 years of experience, and I'm here to fill in the gaps your doctor might have missed.

🔬 IN THIS VIDEO:

• Why "normal" cholesterol doesn't mean you're safe

• What Lipoprotein(a) is and why it's dangerous

• Why you can't lower Lp(a) with diet, exercise, or statins

• The one test you should ask your doctor for

👉 Ask your doctor for the Lp(a) test at your next visit.
