Insulin Resistance Doctor: They’ve All Been Wrong on Longevity Science
""My LP little A is over 250. That's how I was born. Now does that mean I'm going to die of a heart attack? No. In fact, I think cardiovascular disease specifically should no longer even be part of the conversation in terms of leading causes of death. It's silly.""
Dr John Chef says his lipoprotein(a) level is above 250, describing it as an inherited risk marker linked to heart attack and death. He argues that cardiovascular disease should not remain the leading cause of death, blaming fragmented, single-metric prevention approaches.
