Description

Standard cholesterol testing only gives you a piece of the picture, leaving many people with “normal” cholesterol numbers unaware that they are still at risk for a heart attack.

50% of people who have a heart attack have normal cholesterol levels (PER NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH)

The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) introduced new risk factors that are responsible for cardiovascular incidents and stroke. These risk factors can only be identified with advanced lipoprotein testing.

According to the National Cholesterol Education Program guidelines, 50% of people who have a heart attack have normal cholesterol levels. Cholesterol is carried through the body in little balls called lipoproteins. It is the lipoproteins, not the cholesterol inside them, that leads to clogging your arteries.

NCEP NEW RISK FACTORS:

Small, dense LDL: these atherogenic particles are easily oxidized and penetrate the arterial endothelium to form plaque. Lp(a): this small, dense LDL is involved in thrombosis.

Q&A

What happens next? 

Once you purchase your lab, please be on the lookout for a follow-up email from Brady. He will need the name and date of birth of the person who is running the lab in order to drop ship your kit. To accelerate the process, you can email this information directly to brady@alimillerrd.com upon purchase. 

Brady will provide information on locating a draw site for any blood draws or further instructions for collection and shipping of stool, saliva, and urine specimen kits. You will also get a brief form to fill out to provide information on goals of running this lab, current diagnosis or symptoms, supplements and medications, and diet recall. Please fill this out so that we can customize your lab review as much as possible. 

Your lab will likely take 2-3 weeks to process once received by the lab. You will get a direct email from Ali or Becki that includes your results, a brief interpretation, and direct supplement recommendations. 

NOTE: for women, do not run this panel while actively on your menstrual cycle as this may skew results.

For everyone, for best results refrain from strenuous exercise 48 hours prior to testing and note that excessive exercise, active injury or illness may affect your hsCRP. 

This is a fasted blood draw best done after a 12 hour fast. Prolonged fasting may alter test results. Fasting entails water, black coffee or tea ONLY--no fatty coffee or tea with butter, cream, milk or other add ins!
