LDL is a protein made by the liver and serves many important functions in the body. LDL provides the raw materials needed to produce hormones such as estrogen, testosterone, and cortisol. It is also involved in the production of vitamin D and bile.More than half of all heart attacks occur in people with normal LDL levels, raising important questions about the role of LDL in cardiovascular disease.There are two main types of LDL: small, dense LDL and large, buoyant LDL. Small, dense LDL is associated with inflammation, insulin resistance, and chronic stress. Large, buoyant LDL is generally considered non-pathogenic. Despite the focus on lowering LDL cholesterol, there is limited evidence that simply reducing LDL levels acts as heart disease prevention. Higher LDL levels have even been associated with longevity in some research.Many people are prescribed statins without determining which type of LDL they have. An advanced lipid profile can help identify whether your LDL is primarily small dense LDL or large buoyant LDL, providing a more complete picture of your cardiovascular health.Dr. Eric Berg, DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
