Ep. 548 “It’s Not Just LDL” – How Menopause Alters Cholesterol, ApoB & Lp(a) | Menopause & Lipids

We have another short-form, live YouTube episode today, where I dive into questions from listeners.

Recently, the most frequently asked questions have been about cholesterol, likely because I often reference my podcast series with Dr. Tom Dayspring, a renowned lipidologist and menopause expert.

Join me today to clear away some more of the confusion surrounding cholesterol.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:

• Why comprehensive lipid testing rather than standard testing is essential, post-menopause

• How menopause impacts women’s lipid and triglyceride levels

• The roles APO B and Lp(a) play in assessing cardiac risk

• How the cardiac risk of women increases as estrogen declines

• The cardiac health benefits of monitoring lipids and considering HRT within the first six years of menopause

• What research studies reveal about how menopause influences cardiovascular risk
