Everyone Is Talking About Lp(a): What It Means for Your Heart and What to Do If Yours Is High with Dr. Michael Twyman

This episode is brought to you by BUBS Naturals, Momentous, and Cozy Earth. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, I sit down with my personal cardiologist, Dr. Michael Twyman, to discuss lipoprotein(a)—why it’s making headlines, what an early press release from a recent drug trial revealed, and the important questions that still remain. Dr. Twyman also explains why testing your Lp(a) levels can help you better understand your risk and how this marker fits into the bigger picture of your overall heart health.
