In this rewind episode Prof Clare Collins and Dr. Erin Clarke demystify blood cholesterol levels. They explain the different types of cholesterol in blood (Total, LDL, HDL cholesterol, Triglycerides) and what the level and ratios mean for heart health. They discuss how cholesterol levels relate to heart disease risk, the role of diet and exercise in managing risk, and why regular heart health checks are a good idea. They also highlight practical dietary interventions and resources available to help people improve heart health.
