What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Cholesterol

In this comprehensive guide, a preventative cardiologist lays out your options to help you prevent heart disease. Heart disease is largely preventable, but conventional cholesterol management is often inadequate. According to university cardiologist and leading prevention specialist Dr. Stephen R. Devries, avoiding heart disease requires a far more comprehensive approach that balances new high tech testing with low tech treatments. Now, inWhat Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Cholesterol, Dr. Devries combines natural treatments with the latest scientific advances. New types of cholesterol tests are highlighted that go far beyond routine testing to identify hidden risks. Expanding the traditional medical model, Dr. Devries illustrates the role of mind/body interventions, lifestyle, supplements, vitamins, and conservative use of medication for optimal prevention.
