If heart disease runs in your family, how much can you do to change your risk? Genetics play an important role in cardiovascular health, but risk develops over decades and is influenced by factors we can often identify and address. Blood pressure, metabolic health, insulin resistance, and atherogenic lipoproteins all contribute to the picture. In certain individuals, advanced markers such as apolipoprotein B (ApoB) can provide valuable information beyond conventional LDL cholesterol measurements. The opportunity lies in understanding these risks early and translating that knowledge into evidence-based prevention, including lifestyle interventions and medical treatment when appropriate. I was pleased to contribute my perspective to HEARTproof, a new docuseries from @ZonaHealth exploring cardiovascular health, prevention, and longevity. 🎬 The free online premiere begins November 2: What has your family history taught you about taking care of your heart? #HEARTproof# #HeartHealth# #CardiovascularPrevention# #LongevityMedicine# #PreventiveHealth#
