Leading Cardiologist Shares The Cholesterol Myth That Could Be Misleading Your Heart Risk

Dr Abid Husain

Are you lean, exercising and eating right, but yet, your cholesterol shows a different story? Maybe it’s super high and you cant explain why? So, high cholesterol may not always be a problem… and we actually may be over-treating numbers and missing what what actually drive heart disease. 

We cover:

  • Why high LDL doesn’t always mean high risk

  • The real role of statins vs newer medications and if and when to use them

  • How genetics, diet, and metabolism change cholesterol response

  • What actually improves cardiovascular health (beyond labs)

  • The surprising tools you never heard of that may support vascular function

 

Trained in conventional cardiology, Dr. Husain recognized early the limits of reactive medicine. That insight led him to pursue advanced training in preventive, functional, hormonal, and cellular-based therapies, integrating these disciplines into a deeply individualized approach to cardiovascular care. Beyond the clinic, he serves as an educator and scientific advisor, helping clinicians and organizations rethink how we assess cardiovascular risk, resilience, and overall long-term health. He is also a multi-sport athlete, artist, and lifelong learner, because he believes true health is not just measured in years lived, but in vitality, creativity, and meaning.
