Genetics play a role - but your habits matter more.

If you’ve ever been told your cholesterol is “just something you have to live with,” we want you to know:

You have more power than you think.

Here are the top lifestyle shifts we focus on with midlife patients to improve cholesterol - without extreme diets or restriction:

🥑 Prioritize healthy fats: Think olive oil, avocado, nuts, fatty fish
🥦 Reduce ultra-processed foods: Especially refined carbs and sugars
🚶 Move consistently: Even walking 30 min/day can improve lipid profiles
😴 Get quality sleep: Poor sleep can raise LDL and triglycerides
🧘‍♀️ Manage stress: Chronic stress = cortisol dysregulation = cholesterol imbalance
🧬 Optimize insulin sensitivity: Blood sugar swings can impact your triglycerides, HDL, and VLDL

Most people have never heard of Lp(a) - but it might be one of the most important numbers related to your cholesterol panel.

🧬 Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), is a genetically determined cholesterol particle that can increase your risk for cardiovascular disease - even when your LDL, triglycerides, or total cholesterol look perfectly fine.

Here’s what you need to know:

✔️ It’s inherited - not caused by lifestyle
✔️ It’s rarely tested on standard lipid panels
✔️ High levels can increase your risk of plaque buildup, clotting, or inflammation
✔️ Knowing your number gives you power - because it helps you and your provider tailor prevention early

While lifestyle changes don’t directly lower Lp(a), they can reduce the impact of elevated levels through:

🥗 Optimized metabolic health
🧘‍♀️ Inflammation reduction
💊 Advanced therapies (for those who qualify)

If you’ve never seen Lp(a) on your lab report. Ask for it.
It’s one small test that can make a big difference in understanding your long-term heart and metabolic health.

You’ve probably had your triglycerides and HDL tested but has anyone ever talked to you about the ratio between them?

🧪 The TG:HDL ratio is emerging as one of the strongest predictors of:

• Insulin resistance
• Metabolic dysfunction
• Vascular and cardiac risk

Here’s why it matters:

➡️ A high triglyceride-to-HDL ratio often shows up before fasting glucose or A1c ever change.

➡️ It’s especially powerful for midlife women and men navigating hormonal shifts and subtle metabolic changes.

So what’s optimal?

🔢 A ratio around 1:1 is ideal.
Above 3:1 may be a sign of trouble - especially if you’re dealing with fatigue, belly weight gain, or brain fog.

And the best part? This is something you can start addressing with targeted lifestyle shifts - more on that soon in this series.
