Very nicely done. Clear, cogent, concise, non-contradctory, and presented with no distracting speech idiosyncracies.

I'm in clinical trials for last 3 years. Lowered my Lpa 267 to 39❤

[parvatikaiba]

Thank you! I have a presentation and research paper on lipoprotein (a), this really helps! ❤

At 3:00 in this video the presenter says there is little value in measuring something, e.g. Lp(a), that we can't treat. But perhaps doctors don't know that a change in diet can sometimes lower Lp(a). For example, a low carb - high fat diet can lower one's Lp(a). The first time I ever had Lp(a) tested I was eating a fair amount of carbs and my Lp(a) was 32 mg/dL (a bit above the top end of the reference range of 30 mg/dL). Eventually, my diet evolved toward low carb - high fat and my Lp(a) has come in as low as 10 mg/dL. Some doctors will say Lp(a) is genetic so you just need to test it once. I disagree. Test it every now and again, especially if you are making significant diet and lifestyle changes.

I have high LP(a) and reduced it by 40% with a medically supervised 10 day water fast. I have a video on my channel showing this.

0:50 seconds in and I’ve already learned more than I have since discovering I had FH around 8 years ago! Thank you! ❤

[TanChoonHong]

First time I heard of Lp(a)! Living under a rock or info suppressed by vested interests? Thanks for this exposé.

I recommend to listen to Dr Nadir Ali on this topic. He is a cardiologist with about 30 years of experience and will open your mind

[ironmaidenfitness]

Go high fat, medium protein and no carb to lower it. The issue is that not many would be willing to give up carbs to be healthier therefore they conclude we are stuck with this.

[kevinlindsay]

Fantastic and concise, but a little more explanation on those medical terms would assist us without medical training. I am reading "The Clot Thickens" by doctor Malcolm Kendrick and he dives deep into this subject.

[BumbleBee-ut]

This was very helpful also worrying but thank you.

[Peter-vnjq]

I had it measured recently, the assay coulnd't pick any up- it was below the threshold for detection. I guess I should be happy about that?

Hi doc, I’m 23 years old. My dad got heart attack last month. My Lipoprotein is higher than 100 but 2 years back it was 29. How is that possible?

[MikeD_]

Just one man's opinion, and one who is not in the medical profession, but is a member of the human race. Everyone should have their Lp(a) tested. While it can't be treated as of yet, it will show those who have increased risk for heart attacks and strokes, and thus this would be further evidence they can use to motive and address parts of their diets they can improve.

Hello, I'm 39 years old and I have my reports for last 2 years in which I can see following if you could please suggest if the LP(a) as per report would be correct? My Triglycerides decreased from 486 to 102, HDL Cholesterol decreased from 39 to 37, Ldl Cholesterol increased from 110 to 126, APO-A1 decreased from 127 to 111, APO-B from 106 to 103, LP(a) increased from 25.1 to 50.77. As I understand the LP(a) level is generally same over lifetime since 5 years of age.

[ASpectacular]

My LP(a) is 70. My family drop like flies. I feel doomed😢

[divit]

I am very fit. My ldl is 82 and hdl is 49 but my lpa is 121 mg/dl. What can I do ? I cant improve my fitness or diet as it is as good as it can be.

[HA-kwvq]

When they do these videos, they hand you a sentence i was told mine is over 1500 yes over 1000!!! is genetic and must go on a statin. I was begged to go on one by doctors - i find it overwhelming, to be honest and wish i didn't know and let life do its thing

[dancassidy]

mine is 113 i continue to lift weights and do cardio

[salyx]

can it also cause heart burns that feel like radio thst is not working? I am 22 but my lipo a is 245 ;(
