Why Are Stiff Blood Vessels More Dangerous Than High Cholesterol?
In this episode, hosts Emma Sullivan and David Park examine why arterial stiffness—measured by pulse wave velocity—may be a stronger predictor of cardiovascular risk than cholesterol alone, and why most people have never heard of it. They explore the science behind how arteries become rigid over time due to aging, stress, and lifestyle factors, then zero in on what actually works to reverse it: consistent aerobic exercise, whole-food nutrition, and better sleep. Listeners will leave with a concrete action they can take this week, plus permission to ask their own doctors about measuring arterial health beyond the standard cholesterol panel.Follow The Wellness Rhythm Show: ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessRhythmShow 📖 Newsletter: https://thewellnessrhythmshow.substack.com Powered by VoxCrea.AI
