Overview
What if much of what we’ve been told about cholesterol, statins, and heart disease isn’t the full story? In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a leading cardiologist and vocal advocate for ethical, evidence-based medicine, to unravel the complex truths about heart health and the pharmaceutical industry.
Dr. Malhotra has faced significant backlash for challenging the mainstream narrative, but his work is a wake-up call for anyone concerned about their health.
In this eye-opening conversation, you’ll learn:
- Why LDL cholesterol may not be the ultimate villain in heart disease.
- The overlooked role of inflammation and insulin resistance in cardiovascular health.
- The truth about statins—what they can and can’t do for you.
- How financial conflicts of interest shape medical guidelines and prescriptions.
- Practical, lifestyle-based strategies to truly protect your heart.
Don’t miss this provocative discussion on what it really takes to protect your heart and improve your overall health.
