Cholesterol Isn’t the Villain. Inflammation Is the Real Heart Risk
from Unbreakable Vitality · host Daniel Rasmussen
For decades, cholesterol has been blamed as the cause of heart disease.Lower the number. Take the statin. Don’t ask questions.But here’s the truth most people never hear.Cholesterol isn’t what damages your arteries. Inflammation is.More than half of heart attacks happen in people with “normal” LDL.What actually predicts risk is oxidized cholesterol, insulin resistance, vascular inflammation, and the environment your lipids live in.In this episode of Unbreakable Vitality, we break down: • Why total cholesterol and LDL alone are misleading • The labs that actually predict cardiovascular risk years earlier • How inflammation damages arteries and traps cholesterol • Why statins miss the root cause for many people • How precision testing and regenerative strategies change outcomesThis isn’t about chasing numbers.It’s about understanding the system and reversing risk upstream.If you’ve been told “your labs are fine” but don’t feel fine, this episode matters.👉 Check out our Events: https://agelessfutureseattle.com/event/Join Our CommunityConnect with us to get the latest insights on longevity, precision medicine, and health optimization strategies to help you thrive.
