Mindsip insights from this episode:
Track non-HDL cholesterol for better cardiovascular health
Instead of focusing on HDL, you should track your non-HDL cholesterol (non-HDL-C), which is a more relevant risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
Reassess HDL cholesterol as a mere biomarker, not a health goal
Contrary to popular belief, recent research indicates that intentionally increasing HDL cholesterol does not improve cardiovascular health, demoting it to a simple biomarker.
Achieve metabolic health to join the 7%
Based on five key biomarkers, less than 6.8% of American adults are considered metabolically healthy.
Incorporate fasting glucose and waist circumference in health tests
A better set of basic health tests includes fasting glucose, triglycerides, non-HDL-C, waist circumference, and blood pressure.
Distinguish between harmful visceral fat and harmless subcutaneous fat
Subcutaneous fat (the fat you can see) is not the type that shortens your life; visceral and intracellular fat are the dangerous types.
Address insulin resistance to reduce high triglycerides
High triglycerides are primarily caused by insulin resistance making fat cells leak fat, not by the body converting excess blood sugar into fat.
