In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Dr. Abid Husain joins Dr. Scott Sherr for a masterclass on cardiovascular health — from cholesterol myths to mitochondrial truth. They explore what truly drives inflammation, plaque formation, and cardiovascular risk, while dismantling the outdated “cholesterol = heart disease” narrative.
Whether you're a clinician or simply someone trying to make smarter choices for your heart, this episode offers insight into testing, interventions, and personalized strategies that go beyond basic lipid panels.
Join us as we delve into:
+ Why LDL alone doesn’t tell the full story of cardiovascular
risk
+ How mitochondria, hormones, and inflammation intersect with lipid
metabolism
+ The real role of CCTA scans, plaque imaging, and particle size
analysis
+ Advanced medications and peptides that support vascular and
metabolic health
This episode is for you if:
- You’ve been told to fear cholesterol but want the full
picture
- You’re a practitioner looking to personalize cardiovascular
treatment plans
- You’ve heard of statins and PCSK9s but don’t know when or why to
use them
- You’re curious about GLP-1s, NO precursors, and other precision
tools for heart health
