Heart Doc VIP with Dr. Joel Kahn
Episode 510: The TG/HDL Ratio and Your Risk of Disease
This week, Dr. Kahn discusses the triglyceride-to-HDL (TG/HDL) ratio and how this simple lab measurement can help predict insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, liver disease, and heart disease. It is also a marker of visceral fat and an easy, readily available way to add valuable risk information to your health journey. Dr. Kahn also discusses how genetics can influence the TG/HDL ratio. Other topics include tomatoes for the liver, tirzepatide for the heart, lifestyle for the heart, junk food and prostate cancer, belly fat and the heart, alcohol and the heart, and the power of climbing stairs.
