In this short, I unpack new research comparing LMHRs to everyday folks.
The LDL in LMHRs is often above 190 mg/dL -- a number that would alarm most doctors -- but their CAC scores suggest their hearts are doing just fine.

LDL might be loud, but it's not always telling the truth.
The full picture matters.
👉 Want to know if insulin resistance is quietly undermining your health?
Check out my Metabolic Check tool: zylvie.com/BetterBodyChemistry/p/metabolic-check
It walks you through calculating your TyG Index using basic labs.
🎬 This is Part 2 in my cholesterol series.
Subscribe so you don't miss Part 3, where we dive into the Lipid Energy Model -- a theory that may explain what's going on in LMHRs (and maybe in you too).
The Better Body Chemistry channel shares science-backed insights -- not fear-mongering headlines.
