What if one of the biggest risk factors for heart disease isn’t included in your routine lab work?
And what if you’ve never been tested for it?
This week on Everyday Epigenetics: Raw. Real. Relatable., I’m joined once again by Dr. Tom Dayspring, one of the world’s leading experts in lipids and cardiovascular disease, for Part 2 of our series on genetic lipid disorders.
We’re diving into Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), a genetic risk factor that affects millions of people and is associated with heart disease, stroke, and aortic valve disease. Yet many people have never heard of it, and many healthcare providers still aren’t routinely testing for it.
In this conversation, we break down what Lp(a) actually is, why it matters, who should be tested, and what steps you can take if your levels are elevated.
The more I learn about lipids, genetics, and cardiovascular risk, the more convinced I become that we need to stop relying on surface-level answers and start asking better questions.
Have you ever had your Lp(a) tested?
