What defines normal cholesterol levels today isn’t the same as it was decades ago. As the threshold for high cholesterol has continued to decrease, millions more people have been diagnosed. The focus has also shifted from total cholesterol to LDL cholesterol, but if cholesterol alone is the problem, why do cardiovascular disease rates remain so high?

Not all LDL cholesterol is the same. Small, dense LDL particles are associated with inflammation, while large, buoyant LDL particles behave differently. An advanced lipid profile can help distinguish between these two types.

Insulin resistance is one of the key drivers of high LDL cholesterol and is often linked to the chronic consumption of sugar and starches. A fasting insulin test may provide valuable insight into your metabolic health. Inflammation, low thyroid function, chronic stress, and fatty liver can also contribute to elevated LDL cholesterol.
