61. The Cholesterol Labs Your Doctor Isn't Running

Your doctor ran a lipid panel. But several of the markers that would give you the clearest picture of your actual cardiovascular risk were not on it.

In this episode, Tanya covers the distinction between reference ranges and optimal ranges, walks through the markers she actually uses when reading labs for the women she works with, and explains what each one is telling you that a standard lipid panel cannot.

This is the second episode of a three-part August series on cholesterol and women in midlife. Start with episode one if you haven't listened yet. Next week's final episode covers what actually moves the needle.
