About this episode
Approximately 93% of the population is affected by an issue that predicts heart disease about 10 years before you have elevated cholesterol—and very few people realize they have it.
This same condition is the precursor to several common chronic illnesses, and your doctor probably isn’t testing for it.
The good news is, this condition is almost 100% treatable, preventable, and reversible if you know what to do.
In today’s episode, you’re going to learn what this epidemic is, why it’s critical to your health, and what you can do to avoid being another statistic. Join me and weight loss, metabolism, and anti-aging specialist and board-certified nutritionist Jonny Bowden for an eye-opening conversation about how to safeguard your health, now and for years to come.
