Insulin Resistance part 4

Finally, the story of why I am so passionate about Insulin Resistance comes to an end with the reason I started on this journey in the first place, the connection between Insulin Resistance and Heart Disease.  Spoiler, LDL is not the best indicator of Heart Disease and thinking that this number is all you need to know about your heart health is dangerous.  Of course it's important, but LDL is not the beginning, middle and end of the story.  Travel with me today as you learn about transport vehicles for LDL, the importance of soft pillows of cells and the most dangerous type of LDL out there and it's connection to Insulin Resistance.  I share some tests that you can get that will actually tell you what you need to know about your heart health and we end with a short visualization exercise.  I hope you finish this journey with me and that it helps you advocate for yourself and your heart.
