Dear patients and friends,<\/p>\n
We often hear about \u00abgood\u00bb and \u00abbad\u00bb cholesterol, but many patients don't understand the real impact of high levels on their cardiovascular health. Unlike other conditions, high cholesterol doesn't present any symptoms until damage has already occurred.<\/p>\n
The danger is that the problem is often detected too late.<\/p>\n
In our latest podcast, we demystified this reality with Dr. Asayag and Dr. Azou\u00e9: why the numbers on your blood tests don't tell the whole story, and why medication is only part of the solution.<\/p>\n
What to remember for your health:<\/p>\n
\u2705 Stratification is key:<\/b> A cholesterol level is never interpreted in isolation. It depends on your other risk factors (weight, blood pressure, diabetes, medical history).<\/p>\n
\u2705 Beyond the lipid panel:<\/b> Tools like Lipoprotein A (LPA) measurement or calcium scoring can reveal risks that standard tests overlook.<\/p>\n
\u2705 The metabolic approach:<\/b> The weight on the scale doesn't tell the whole story. It's your visceral fat percentage that really influences your risks.<\/p>\n
\u2705 Medication vs. Habits:<\/b> Statins can help, but they shouldn't create a \u00abfalse sense of security.\u00bb Real, lasting change comes from your lifestyle.<\/p>\n
At Physimed, we don't just prescribe; we work to optimize your overall health so that you can ideally reduce your dependence on medication.<\/p>\n
