What if cholesterol isn’t the real villain behind heart disease? In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe reveals why inflammation, insulin resistance, and oxidative stress—not just LDL—may be the true drivers of cardiovascular risk. Discover which fats actually protect your heart, the blood markers that matter most, and how to create the internal conditions where heart disease can’t thrive.
