S03_E09 - Cholesterol: The Good, The Bad and the Triglycerides...
Cholesterol can be a confusing subject for many of us. And, as many of us can attest to, seeing the results from a lipid panel can be like reading a foreign language. What's a safe range? Does good cholesterol cancel out the bad? And what is a lipid, anyway?
It turns out cholesterol is a necessary piece of the human puzzle, but like a lot things, too much of anything is likely not good. But what can be done to help us in the battle for better numbers? Thankfully on Episode 9 of the show, we'll have the help of Hennepin Healthcare cardiologist, Dr. Woubeshet Ayenew, MD, to break down some of the terms and concepts around cholesterol and get us a better feel for what we're up against. He'll give insight on how to calculate risk of a heart attack (there's a cool online calculator here!), what we can do to keep our cholesterol in check, the role of statins, and more ! We've all got cholesterol, so there's something here for everyone - join us!
