Understanding Cholesterol: The complete guide to understanding your numbers, reducing your risk, and improving your health

Understanding Cholesterol

The Complete Guide to Understanding Your Numbers, Reducing Your Risk, and Improving Your Health
By Estella Magi & Walter Paladines

Cholesterol is one of the most discussed—and often most misunderstood—areas of metabolic health. A single “high” number rarely tells the whole story.

Understanding Cholesterol was created to help you look beyond total cholesterol and better understand what your laboratory results may actually be telling you.

Written in clear, accessible language, this comprehensive guide explores LDL, HDL, triglycerides, ApoB, cholesterol ratios and other important cardiovascular and metabolic markers, along with the factors that can influence them.

Rather than simply labeling cholesterol as “good” or “bad,” the book helps readers understand the bigger picture—including metabolic health, insulin resistance, inflammation, lifestyle, nutrition and overall cardiovascular risk.

Whether you follow a carnivore, ketogenic, low-carbohydrate or other whole-food approach, this book gives you the knowledge to ask better questions, understand your bloodwork more confidently, and have more informed conversations with your healthcare provider.

Knowledge changes the conversation. Understand your numbers before you fear them.
