In this video, I explain why the standard cholesterol test your doctor runs is missing a critical risk factor: Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a).
You can have perfect LDL, HDL, and triglycerides — and still have dangerous plaque building in your arteries. Most doctors don't test for Lp(a) because it's not part of the standard panel. But 1 in 5 people have elevated levels and don't even know it.
I'm a retired doctor with 30 years of experience, and I'm here to fill in the gaps your doctor might have missed.
🔬 IN THIS VIDEO:
• Why "normal" cholesterol doesn't mean you're safe
• What Lipoprotein(a) is and why it's dangerous
• Why you can't lower Lp(a) with diet, exercise, or statins
• The one test you should ask your doctor for
👉 Ask your doctor for the Lp(a) test at your next visit.
