Over 50% of cardiovascular events happen in people with completely normal LDL. Dr. Emlah Tubuo, PharmD — integrative pharmacist and founder of Powell Pharmacy — opened our Metabolic Health Playbook keynote with That Clean Life and Fullscript with a question. She asked 500+ health and wellness practitioners what percentage of cardiovascular events happen in people with a completely normal cholesterol panel. Some guessed low. The real answer shocked them. The gap isn't in our ability to measure cholesterol. It's in what we're choosing to measure. → Less than 2% of Americans know their Lp(a) value → ApoB, homocysteine, and high-sensitivity CRP rarely appear on standard panels → These markers predict cardiovascular risk — and most practices aren't ordering them "We've done a fantastic job of measuring cholesterol. But we're not assessing risk." — Dr. Emlah Tubuo Every patient in your practice needs their Lp(a) measured. At least once. Watch the full keynote: https://lnkd.in/ejgQb5nb
