For Clinicians Who Know “Normal Cholesterol” Isn’t Always Normal

 

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

 

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:

 

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.
