My great-aunt. My grandmother. My great-grandmother.
So when my mum turned 64 with cholesterol of 8.0 mmol/L, every doctor she saw said the same thing: "You need statins NOW or you'll be next."
She was terrified. I was terrified.
That was 10.5 years ago.
My mum will be 75 this birthday. Her cholesterol is still 8.0. Her LDL is 5.2.
No statins. No plaque. Zero calcium score.
She's healthier than her doctors.
So what's different? What saved her from the fate of three generations before her?
One number they never bothered to check.
The number that actually predicts heart disease isn't your LDL. It's not your total cholesterol. It's something your doctor probably never calculated for you.
And it changes everything about how we understand cholesterol, heart disease, and what's actually putting women at risk.

I break down my mum's story, the markers that actually matter, why statins might be destroying your brain, and how to calculate your REAL risk in 30 seconds.
