Most people measure aging by wrinkles or energy levels but your arteries tell the real story.

Dr. Regina Druz kicks off a new series with the launch of the Statin Overprescribing Solution (SOS), a program designed to challenge the one-size-fits-all approach to LDL cholesterol. We’ve all heard that LDL is “the bad cholesterol,” but what does a high low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol level really mean? And is the goal always to lower LDL, no matter the cost?

In this episode, Dr. Druz invites listeners to reconsider long-held beliefs. She explains why measuring LDL cholesterol might not be enough information and how personalized testing can tell a much more complete story. Have you ever asked your doctor what causes high LDL cholesterol in your specific case, or whether saturated fat truly raises LDL cholesterol for you? This kind of nuance is missing from most traditional care.

Dr. Druz shares how tools like the LDL cholesterol goal level calculator and the HeartWell Toolkit can give you real insight into your individual risk. She also introduces the idea of age proofing, a way to assess and slow the aging of your arteries, rather than just tracking numbers on a chart.

Whether you’re trying to decide if statins are right for you, looking to better understand your lipid profile, or searching “LDL cholesterol Spanish” for resources in your language, this episode delivers practical, science-backed answers. It’s a must-listen for anyone ready to move past generic advice and into a plan that truly fits.
