Finally, the story of why I am so passionate about Insulin Resistance comes to an end with the reason I started on this journey in the first place, the connection between Insulin Resistance and Heart Disease.  Spoiler, LDL is not the best indicator of Heart Disease and thinking that this number is all you need to know about your heart health is dangerous.  Of course it's important, but LDL is not the beginning, middle and end of the story.  Travel with me today as you learn about transport vehicles for LDL, the importance of soft pillows of cells and the most dangerous type of LDL out there and it's connection to Insulin Resistance.  I share some tests that you can get that will actually tell you what you need to know about your heart health and we end with a short visualization exercise.  I hope you finish this journey with me and that it helps you advocate for yourself and your heart.  The Great Cholesterol Myth, Revised and Expanded : Why Lowering Your Cholesterol Won't Prevent Heart Disease--And the Statin-Free Plan That Will - National Bestseller (Paperback) - Walmart.comDiabetes Mellitus - Really the Fourth Stage of Insulin Resistance - DocMusclesGerald Reaven, scientist who coined ‘Syndrome X,’ dies at 89 | News Center | Stanford MedicineIvor Cummins & Dr Jeffry Gerber: Primary Causes of Heart Disease - DiabetesPostprandial insulin assay as the earliest biomarker for diagnosing pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes and increased cardiovascular risk - PMC (nih.gov)Heart scan (coronary calcium scan) - Mayo ClinicHOMA-IR Calculator - Insulin Resistance (omnicalculator.com)Support the showWork with me to improve your health IterVia HealthSign up for my newsletter:IterVia HealthThe information discussed in this podcast is the expressed experience of each guest as well as the expressed experience of the host, Michelle Duprey, No information discussed on this podcast is intended to be medical advice.
