Episode 2: Cardiovascular Disease

Episode 2: We continue our discussion longevity as we explore cardiovascular disease, breaking down key terms like atherosclerosis. We’ll take a deeper look at important markers such as cholesterol, LDL, apoB, and Lp(a), and how both genetics and lifestyle influence heart disease risk. You'll also learn to recognize the symptoms of a heart attack, and which tests go beyond standard cholesterol checks to give a more complete picture of cardiovascular risk. Finally, we’ll highlight the most impactful lifestyle changes—from diet and exercise to stress management—that can protect and strengthen your heart.
