You’ve seen it before —
A patient with “good” numbers on a basic lipid panel.
Then months later, a stent… or a stroke.
You knew something was off — but the labs didn’t tell the whole story.
This masterclass shows you what they missed — and gives you the tools to catch it next time.
Why This Course Exists
Â
Most cardiovascular events don’t come out of nowhere — they come out of unseen patterns.
Standard labs miss those patterns. You don’t have to.
This course is built to help you:
- Read between the lines of standard labs
- Interpret advanced lipids with confidence
- Recognize the role of oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and methylation
- Build lifestyle-first, supplement-supported protocols
- Communicate clearly with patients — especially when they decline medications
- Practice preventive, personalized care that actually changes outcomes
What You'll Learn:
Â
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
- Interpret ApoB, ApoA1, sdLDL, Lp(a), and associated risk ratios
Identify oxidative stress markers like oxidized LDL, GGT, uric acid, and F2-isoprostanes - Recognize insulin resistance using TG/HDL ratio, fasting insulin, glucose, and C-peptide
- Understand the role of homocysteine and methylation in cardiovascular health
- Use risk tools like ASCVD, MESA, and CAC scoring in a more nuanced, clinically relevant way
- Navigate patient conversations around statins with confidence — including legal documentation

Course Curriculum
Module 1:
Interpreting Standard Lipids with Greater Precision
Why “normal” doesn't always mean safe — and how to spot subtle warning signs in everyday labs.
Module 2:
Lipoprotein Particle Risk: ApoB, ApoA1, Lp(a), sdLDL
What particle number and size really mean, and how they change your treatment plan.
Module 3:
Oxidized LDL, GGT, Uric Acid, and F2-Isoprostanes
How oxidative stress drives vascular damage — and which markers reveal it early.
Module 4:
Glucose, Insulin, Triglycerides, and the TG/HDL Ratio
A deep dive into insulin resistance, lipid disruption, and how to recognize it before A1C ever rises.
Module 5:
Homocysteine and Methylation
Why methylation matters, how to assess homocysteine, and when it’s contributing to cardiovascular risk.
Module 6:
The Statin Conversation
How to document risk, counsel patients, manage refusals, and decide when medication is truly necessary.
