How to Lower Your ApoB (Lifestyle, Diet, & Medication)

In today's episode, Dr. Jeremy London, board-certified cardiovascular surgeon, breaks down the most common cholesterol question he gets: how do you actually lower your ApoB? He explains why ApoB predicts cardiovascular risk better than LDL-C, why insulin sensitivity is the through line connecting sugar, saturated fat, fiber, muscle, and body weight, and what to do when you've done everything right and your numbers still won't budge.
