Addressing root causes of inflammation, such as insulin resistance, poor gut health, thyroid disease, or poor sleep, is crucial for lowering inflammation and preventing lipoprotein deposition in artery walls.

“So, always start there, and then doing the things like you do, the biomarkers, you know, how much inflammation's in your system, you know, if it's due to insulin resistance, work on that, but if it's, you know, bad gut health or thyroid disease or, you know, something else, you don't sleep well, you know, you get too much junk blue light, whatever it is, work on that root cause to lower the inflammation. You get the inflammation down and have healthy nitric oxide levels, those lipoproteins aren't going to continue to be deposited in the artery wall then.”
