Most people only look at cholesterol (LDL-C). But cholesterol alone doesn’t tell you how many LDL particles are in your blood — and particle number (LDL-P) can reveal hidden cardiovascular risk even when cholesterol seems “normal.”

We’ve just updated our LDL-P page with clear FAQs and answers for health optimizers and anyone curious about advanced lipid testing.

Check it out here:
👉

Learn why LDL particle number (LDL-P or ApoB) is more accurate than LDL-C for assessing heart disease risk. Discover testing options and clinical guidance.

The real cost of diabetes and heart disease in the workplace isn’t just in hospital bills.

👉 It’s in missed workdays, lower productivity, and employees leaving the workforce early.

For a company of 1,000 employees, that can mean millions of dollars each year.

There’s a better approach: preventive, biomarker-driven health programs that catch risk early and save money.

It’s not just medical claims. Chronic conditions drive absenteeism, presenteeism, and lost productivity. Discover how prevention saves millions. Learn how prevention reduces hidden workplace costs.

Metabolic Syndrome isn’t just a checklist of risk factors. It’s a progressive condition that silently drives heart disease and diabetes.

That’s why Precision Health Reports goes beyond “yes or no” diagnoses by using the Metabolic Syndrome Severity Score (MSSS).

This score provides a continuous, trackable measure of risk and helps patients see whether lifestyle changes are really moving the needle.

👉 Discover why MSSS changes the game for prevention:

Learn how metabolic syndrome is diagnosed, why it matters, and how the Metabolic Syndrome Severity Score used by Precision Health Reports provides a more accurate, personalized view of cardiometabolic risk.

Your cholesterol test might be leaving out the most important number.

LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) only measures the amount of cholesterol inside particles. ApoB measures how many particles are in your blood. Those particles drive plaque buildup and heart disease.

It’s possible to have a “normal” LDL-C but still be at high risk because ApoB is elevated.

When these numbers differ, it may be confusing, but cardiovascular disease risk always tracks with ApoB.

We explain why this happens and why ApoB is the stronger test for protecting your heart:

Did you know?

Most heart attacks happen in people whose cholesterol looks “normal” on standard tests.

Two powerful blood markers — ApoB and Lipoprotein(a) — can reveal hidden heart risks years before symptoms.

👉 But numbers alone aren’t enough.

The Cardiometabolic Risk Assessment uses these tests plus your history, lifestyle, and other biomarkers to give a complete, guideline-based picture of your risk and how to lower it.

💙 Learn why context matters as much as the labs:

ApoB and Lp(a) reveal cardiovascular risks missed by standard cholesterol tests. See why they matter most when integrated into the Cardiometabolic Risk Assessment.

We don't know who needs to hear this, but this is not an effective strategy to reduce your cardiometabolic disease risk.

Why is Lp(a) so under-measured despite being a significant independent risk factor for ASCVD events?

Learn more here:

Despite being a significant ASCVD risk factor, Lp(a) is not commonly measured in the United States. We explore the reasons behind the limited measurement of Lp(a), provide statistics on its prevalence and screening, and discuss additional screening recommendations for individuals with high Lp(a) lev

Did You Know: Not all of us are alike? (shocking, right!?)

Ethnicity plays a big part in accurately measuring risk for ASCVD events.

For example:
- African Americans have higher incidence of high Lp(a).
- South Asian ancestry is a risk factor for heart attacks.

There are many factors that play into individual risk. Our Cardiometabolic Risk Assessment considers over 40 individual factors, including ethnicity and others.

Modifying individual cardiometabolic risk starts with early, precision identification. How do you know what risk is present and should be addressed without first measuring? Let us help you find the clearest picture for an individual then guide you toward reducing that risk.

The presence of arterial plaque is an extremely important risk factor for heart attacks and strokes.💖

Our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Bill Cromwell, recently gave a fantastic talk at the first ever Collaborative Science Conference about all cause mortality and a newer multi-marker called Metabolic Vulnerability Index (MVX).

It's about 45 minutes, but we promise that you'll be on the edge of your seats.

Dr. William Cromwell discusses the complex interaction of metabolic and inflammatory factors in determining mortality risks, beyond traditional cardiovascula...
