CHOLESTEROL DEBATE WITH DR. ALO

This has got to be the best conversation to date about why our focus on LDL is in vain and why insulin resistance is the primary driver of heart disease.

This week’s episode is a collaborative conversation between Dr. Paul and Dr. Mohammad Alo, board-certified cardiologist and Personal Trainer. They both offer their differing perspectives about lipids, LDL, cardiovascular disease, and seed oils.
