Have you ever been told your cholesterol is high, but your doctor isn’t concerned because your calcium score is low?
Or maybe you’ve been told to “just keep an eye on it.”
But what if there was a genetic reason your numbers were elevated in the first place?
This week on Everyday Epigenetics: Raw. Real. Relatable., I sit down with world-renowned lipidologist Dr. Tom Dayspring to discuss a little-known genetic lipid disorder that most people have never heard of, could have a major impact on long-term cardiovascular health.
We’re talking about cholesterol absorption, plant sterol absorption, the ABCG5 and ABCG8 genes, advanced lipid testing, and why waiting until disease shows is waiting too long.
This conversation challenged even some of my own thinking, and I walked away with pages of notes. I am seeing more clients with the genetic risks, expressing in blood labs. I wanted to bring this largely undetected condition to the forefront to create awareness. Awareness saves lives.
I’d love to hear from you:
Have you ever had your ApoB, Lp(a), NMR panels, or advanced lipid markers tested, or have you only ever been given a standard cholesterol panel? Does your DNA panel include ABCG8 and ABCG5 genes?
