Understand Your Risk: The True Meaning of Cholesterol Tests

ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
In this video, we cover several components of cholesterol test results. We start with key questions, like:
What are lipoproteins (cholesterol values)?
Why do they even exist?
What's the difference between LDL and HDL?
We end up explaining how the most important clues for heart attack & stroke risks found in cholesterol (or lipid) tests actually point to our old friend: IR ( Insulin Resistance), Prediabetes, Metabolic Syndrome.

ABOUT DR. BREWER
Dr. Brewer started as an Emergency Doctor. After seeing too many preventable heart attacks, he went to Johns Hopkins to learn Preventive Medicine. While there, he went on the run the post-graduate training program (residency) in Preventive Medicine. From there, he made a career of practicing and managing preventive medicine and primary care clinics. His later role in this area was Chief Medical Officer for Premise, which has close to 1,000 primary care/prevention clinics. He was also the Chief Medical Officer for MDLIVE, the second largest telemedicine company. More recently, he founded PrevMed, a heart attack, and stroke prevention clinic.

At PrevMed, we focus on heart attack, stroke, and cognitive decline. We serve patients who have already experienced an event as well as those who have not developed a diagnosis or event. Dr. Brewer provides services via telemedicine or in person if you're in the Lexington, KY area. We find a lot of undiagnosed Pre-Diabetes or Insulin Resistance. Treating unrecognized risk factors like Pre-Diabetes allows reduction of risk and prevention of disease.
