Think you know your numbers? Think again. Rosemarie sits down with board-certified cardiologist and lipidology expert Dr. Ian Riddock to crack open the truth about cholesterol, statins, and what’s really driving heart disease.We go way beyond “good” vs. “bad” cholesterol—diving into the world of lipoproteins, triglycerides, Apolipoprotein B, and Lipoprotein(a). From fit athletes with hidden plaque to patients whose labs look “normal” but are walking time bombs, Dr. Riddock reveals how outdated testing and blind spots in care are putting us at risk—especially in midlife.Plus, we talk GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, debunk sugar vs. fat myths, and give you the checklist you need to truly understand your risk (and advocate for better care). Because when it comes to heart disease, what you don’t know really can hurt you. 🔗 Follow & Subscribe to never miss an episode.
