🧬 Lp(a) is one of the most overlooked inherited risk factors for heart attack and stroke — and most people have never even had it tested.
🫀 New evidence is changing how we think about Lp(a), arterial plaque, and who may actually be at higher cardiovascular risk.
🔬 In this video, I break down what the latest research really shows, what your Lp(a) number means, and what you can do about it.

I don't mind your long shows. Sometimes you need a long show for people like me to better understand your main point. Most of the time you get right to the point and use the rest of your show to support that.
That's what I prefer. Get right to the point and then support that with your evidence.
You guys have been life changing for me.
Keep up the great work and thank for your service to humanity. ❤

I can't thank you enough for helping us understand how important it is to take care of our health, specially when it comes to lifestyle.

I had a Afib surgery 3 months ago, which went very well. Before I left the hospital they took some more blood tests. They found I have LPa at that time the number was 435. WOW. It is now 545. I am going into the lpa new drugs tests. I have not had any problems yet!!! I am 77 years old I weigh 155. I am very active I live on a ranch. I just wish they would get on this. 😧

One of the masterpieces of Dr Ford Brewer, with the complicity of Dr Vega.

The body doesnt make mistakes in biology.
If I have lots of LPa. GOOD! It sweeps the junk off to the liver for disposal.
If I have high cholesterol anything....it means I have a mineral imbalance... its called nutrional immunity.
Likely iron accumulation + poor oxygen utilization from lack of copper.
the fear mongering about cholesterol never stops. They just keep moving the goal posts on which part of cholesterol is bad.
Remember when we werent allowed to eat eggs???

I ordered my own Lp(a) though Quest on demand. 👍👍

The older I get, the more precious the way I spend my time becomes. This was, for me, an hour very well spent! Thank you for the deep dive into this subject. You are truly the modern day Dynamic Duo.😊

I’ve become convinced to treat Lp(a) like a bad genotype: stare at and block the effect and look at the level . Aspirin to counter the thrombogenic sticky platelets; focus on CONTROLLABLE factors like insulin resistance, oral inflammation and pluggable holes in the boat. Niacin has favorable impact on inflammation and other lipid levels if tolerated.

I used my chatgpt put the microphone on and told it to listen to what Doctor Brewer and told it to do that. It calculated by remnant cholesterol to be 14 mg/dl.

I was in the Novartis trial and I am devastated they abruptly stopped the drug due to not stopping cardiac events. My question to the powers that be at Novartis … Did they question those who had events after being on the drug and not the placebo… Did they (the patients) eat healthy, or say what the heck, I’m on the drug let me eat that bacon, that cheeseburger? I cleaned up my diet! I exercise every day. I maintain a very healthy lifestyle because I am a mom, and hope to be a grandmother… I want to live!! This drug dropped my LPa by 351 points and brought me into the “ optimal” level. I will do anything to get this drug back!!

This is turning out to be an outstanding video! Initial explanations fantastic.

2013 TG/HSL 2.65 next year 2.92 followed by 3.1 Dr said your numbers looked good no red flags individually. 2 yrs later diagnosed T-2 diabetic. 2025 calcium score 3010. Lost 80 of my visceral fat in 12 months down to 2.6 pounds, TG/HDL now at 1.232 and Remnant cholesterol is at 16, A1c. down to 5.2. LDL at 22. Angiogram showed 50% blockage distal LAD everything else open 100%. Positive remodeling but PET scan had good/normal blood flow, and lost 75 pounds in the year. Lots of work but wow, what a difference. Oh LP(a) was <10

I'm metabolically healthy, finally. My remnant cholesterol is 14, my triglycerides are 66 and HDL is 65. My lipoprotein(a) is 116 nmol/L and the cardiologist wants to put me on Repatha. I do have a CAC score of 278, primarily in my LAD, and I know I've done some damage to myself with my diet. I'm confident that the majority of that calcification came from when I was eating anything and everything I desired. Now with this study coming out, it just muddies the water even more with what they push verses what may actually help.

My primary physician and her nurse practitioner did total paddles every quarter. My nearest practitioner's added some extras including more rare and genetic narkers.

The question is, what are Lp(a) particles intended for by nature? Usually there is a utility for everything in our bodies.
So i heard three hypothesis. One from Pauling, the nobelprice winner. That Lp(a) ist the substitute for our non existent ability to make our own vitamin C. The second hypothesis is that Lp(a) speed up the closing of injuries. This is an advantage in survival in nature. And the third is that the Lp(a) Particles are catching damaged material by the little tail they have in the bloodstream and bring them to the Liver for recycling.
And another study showed that in very old people the percentage of people with Lp(a) is not lower than the average. So they have not the higher over all mortality than people with low Lp(a).
So is it possible that the Lp(a) ist more of a lucrative hysteria?

I've never understood the hate on Big Pharma clinical trials. They have to do clinical trials in order to get their drugs reviewed by the FDA. Do people not want any new medicines potentially approved? This is the only method to do it.

@Pp-wn2gn 3 weeks ago

I've also seen where Lpa with its little tail was a cleaner upper of oxidated cells. But we do know for sure though Big Pharma wants it to be a bad thing for more profits now that they have treatments for it and people are getting smarter about the whole cholesterol lie

@Awisedeplorable 3 weeks ago

Doesn't it seem like big pharma is trying to rescue the cholesterol hypothesis with LP (a )? Big pharma has drugs for cholestero, but what do they have for metabolism? Eating more saturated fat relative to carbohydrates as a big pharma message would be suicide for pharma.
