In episode 9 of Performance Around the Clock, we are delighted to talk to cardiologist, Dr. Elizabeth Sage Epstein again. Dr. Epstein and Dr. Panda discuss the role of cholesterol in cardiovascular disease risk. The conversation covers topics such as the absorption of fat and cholesterol in the body, the impact of LDL particles on plaque formation in coronary arteries, and the use of advanced cardiology techniques, such as NMR LipoProfile and calcium scoring, to assess cardiovascular health. Dr. Epstein emphasizes the importance of understanding cholesterol levels and how they contribute to the risk of cardiovascular disease, and also highlights the potential for lifestyle changes to reverse plaque development.Guest:Dr. Elizabeth Sage Epstein, Scripps Health, Integrative Cardiology FellowX (formerly Twitter): @lizziesageMDhttps://twitter.com/lizziesageMDAuthor:A Beautiful Heart Cookbook: Heart-Healthy Recipes for a Long, Happy Lifehttps://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-Heart-Cookbook-Heart-healthy-Recipes/dp/1982234164Host:Dr. Satchin PandaX (formerly Twitter): @SatchinPandahttps://twitter.com/satchinpandaInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/satchin.panda/Links:Donations: https://panda.salk.edu/giving/Research: https://www.salk.edu/scientist/satchidananda-panda/More science: https://mycircadianclock.org/
