Summary of Transcript:
And there’s an MNR test that looks at the pattern of distribution of the lipoproteins and their size. It looks at the number of them, and it’s like a 3d picture of what’s going on in the water, and it’s a much better way of predicting heart disease. It’it’sch more accurate than the HDL LDL test, which is still the standard of care, and it’s still the only test that most insurance companies will pay for so that we want to do are we want to retire the HDL LDL test, we want to replace it with the MNR test.
This YouTube video discusses the issue of heart disease being the leading cause of death in the United States for the last 80 years and how the commonly recommended treatments of maintaining low cholesterol levels and taking preventative medicines like statins may not be helping. Johnny Bowden, a board-certified nutritionist, joins the podcast to discuss the outdated and inaccurate way of measuring cholesterol and how an MNR test is a better way to predict heart disease. The MNR test looks at the distribution pattern, size, and number of lipoproteins in the bloodstream, which is much more accurate than the current HDL LDL test.
