Well, it's not, but I think it is the way that medicine is going and has been trending in the last 20 years.

More expensive, shorter visits.

Yep.

More video visits that don't always necessarily feel like you're having a connection with someone.

Right, right.

It all is just standing in the way of forming these relationships.

I know, because they're the most important thing in my highly biased opinion.

OK, but we have more options, too.

Some people are going to have side effects from statins or they're just like, no, I will not take a statin.

Cool.

Don't worry.

We have other options now.

And I'm not going to go through every single one, but I'm going to call out two that are probably like the two biggest groups that we use.

One is called ezetimibe.

And this is a drug that blocks a protein that's in the cell membranes of our guts and our bile ducts.

So what this does is it blocks the amount of cholesterol that we are absorbing and reabsorbing.

So this one, it doesn't have as huge of an effect by any means, but it can still lower cholesterol often by like 10%.

We're talking LDL cholesterol.

It can lower you.

So that's not nothing to shake a stick at.
