EP374: If It's Not My Genes, Then What Is Putting Up My Cholesterol?

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I’m a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients. In this podcast, Dr. Warrick Bishop discusses the factors influencing elevated cholesterol levels, focusing on various medical conditions and medications. He explains that elevated cholesterol can be genetic, with polygenic causes being more common than the monogenic condition known as familial hypercholesterolemia. Key conditions that can raise cholesterol include hypothyroidism, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, liver disease, Cushing's syndrome, and menopause, each affecting lipid profiles differently.
