[SPEAKER_00]: We need to talk about the number one killer in the world.
[SPEAKER_00]: You hear about cholesterol all the time, but the advice that most people get, and frankly, the advice that a lot of doctors are still giving, it's incomplete.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's misleading, or it's 20 years out of date.
[SPEAKER_00]: The reality, cardiovascular disease is not just an old person problem.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's developing in half of all men before the age of 65 and a third of all women.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm Dr. Jordan Feigenbaum and at Barbell Medicine, we're done with the confusion.
[SPEAKER_00]: We have just released the Barbomedicine cholesterol action plan.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the most comprehensive resource we have ever produced on heart health.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a brand new six-part audio deep dive accompanied by a full written guide that creates a specific roadmap to lower your lifetime risk of heart disease.
[SPEAKER_00]: Dr. Austin Baraki recorded this series to strip away the noise and focus on the actual science of risk reduction.
[SPEAKER_00]: This series is live right now for barbell medicine plus subscribers, and if you're listening to this, I want to tell you what's inside because this is the stuff that you're going to want to know.
[SPEAKER_00]: In part one, Austin confronts the quadrillion particle problem, and why risk starts accruing in childhood.
[SPEAKER_00]: In part two, we overhaul testing.
[SPEAKER_00]: We explain why apolipoprotein B or apob is a far superior predictor of risk than LDL cholesterol alone, and why fasting for the test is often a myth.
[SPEAKER_00]: In Part 3, we look at the CAC score and the difference between hard stable plaques and the invisible soft plaques that usually cause heart attacks.
[SPEAKER_00]: In Part 4, we fix the diet.
[SPEAKER_00]: We explain how saturated fat suppresses your liver's LDL receptors and give you the P to S ratio, the single most powerful dietary lever you can pull.
[SPEAKER_00]: In Part 5, we tackle the athletes' paradox.
[SPEAKER_00]: How high volume exercise stabilizes plaques, making them safer.
[SPEAKER_00]: And finally, in Part 6, we talk about the holy grail, plaque regression.
[SPEAKER_00]: We discuss why, maxing out, a statin dose is often wrong, and how early combination therapy can lower your APOB to levels that actually shrink existing disease.
