'Elevated triglycerides are consistently linked with poor cardiovascular events. Let\'s discuss why that\'s the better marker to focus on.

It was a leading risk factor behind age and obesity in severe COVID. 02:05 Triglycerides and triglyceride-rich lipoproteins tend to be more atherogenic. They are also linked with insulin resistance. If you are on a Statin or told to be on one, check your ApoB to A1 ratio. It is an inexpensive test. 04:40 When you are insulin resistant, there are more triglyceride molecules compared to cholesterol esters. 05:17 The Friedewald equation does not account for triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. 06:00 A decrease in triglycerides is a reflection of improvement in metabolic health. 06:36 Post-prandial increase in atherogenesis and heart disease is linked more closely to remnant lipoproteins and triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. 07:15 Triglycerides fluctuate. Levels of 60 to 70 is what Mike recommends to clients. Get a baseline. Test while fasted. Next time, do a lipid load test. Before you test, consume a typical mixed meal with 60 to 70 grams of fat. 09:00 The degree of your insulin resistance is reflected in your post-meal triglyceride level. When your liver becomes infiltrated with fat, there will be a dramatic increase in post-meal triglyceride levels. 09:36 Post-meal triglyceride levels should be under 220 mg/dl. Levels over that reflect an inability to process post-meal fats. 10:00 LDL particles also carry triglycerides. They can become enriched in triglycerides. Low LDL does not tell you about your cardiometabolic risk. 10:55 Exercise is one of the best ways to lower your triglycerides. Eat a low carb diet. Improve sleep quality and circadian rhythm. Cold exposure/thermal stress can help. Fasting and supplementing with myoinositol and berberine can help.'
