Your cholesterol result is not your entire cardiovascular health picture

We've gotten so used to hearing about heart health almost entirely through cholesterol. LDL is high, therefore cardiovascular risk is high. LDL is normal, therefore everything must be fine. Hmmm...

But cardiovascular health is considerably more complex! 

What about blood pressure, inflammation, insulin resistance, kidney function, thyroid health and the many other factors influencing cardiovascular risk???

In this 44-minute masterclass, we'll look beyond cholesterol to explore what influences cardiovascular health, discuss statins, why individual results don't always tell us everything and what we can actually do to support our heart and blood vessels.

What will we cover?

How does cardiovascular disease actually develop? And why are we so focused on cholesterol when there's so much more happening in our blood vessels?

We know high blood pressure increases cardiovascular risk. But what's causing it in the first place? Let's talk kidneys, hormones, insulin resistance, inflammation, stress and more.

What on earth do your gut, thyroid, blood sugar, chronic infections and homocysteine have to do with cardiovascular health? Quite a bit, actually. And these are connections worth understanding.

Why do we need it? Why does it rise? Is LDL really just 'bad cholesterol'? And why can two people with the same cholesterol result have completely different cardiovascular risk profiles?

How do statins actually work? What are their benefits and limitations? And what can different cardiovascular investigations tell us that a standard cholesterol test can't?

Because knowledge is wonderful, but I also want you to know what to do with it. We'll explore nutrition, movement, blood pressure regulation and practical ways to support your heart and blood vessels.

Oh no, my cholesterol is high, now what?

21-page educational guide
(English & German)

Your cholesterol has been flagged on a blood test. Now what?

Rather than looking at LDL in isolation, let's explore what else might be worth investigating.

From ApoB and lipoprotein(a) to insulin resistance, inflammation, thyroid and kidney function, this guide helps you understand the different markers that contribute to cardiovascular risk and what they can tell us.

Supporting your blood vessels

16-page educational guide
(English & German)

We talk so much about the heart, but what about the blood vessels themselves?

Let's explore endothelial function, nitric oxide, blood pressure regulation and even the fascinating role your oral microbiome plays in nitric oxide production.

You'll also find practical nutrition and lifestyle strategies to support healthy blood vessel function.

A personal note

After a particularly turbulent time; my mum developed high blood pressure and the doctor prescribed her medication, saying she'll need it for the rest of her life. He couldn't have been more wrong. But this is exactly what frustrates me sooo much about the conversations around cardiovascular health.

The fear mongering around cholesterol, the rush to prescribe statins or other medications, and the tendency to focus on individual numbers without properly exploring the person behind them.

Medication absolutely has its place in certain circumstances. But so does understanding WHY something is happening.

If you've ever questioned your cholesterol results, wondered about statins, struggled with high blood pressure or simply wanted to understand cardiovascular health and prevention beyond the usual advice...

This is exactly why I created this masterclass.
