    S7E7: National Lipid Day Special: The Lipid Doctor’s Truths Every Clinician Should Know

    What does your patient's lipid panel actually tell you and what is it missing? In this special National Lipid Day episode of Lipid Insights, host Peter H. Jones, MD, MNLA, sits down with Thomas Dayspring, MD, FACP, MNLA — widely known as "The Lipid Doctor" — for a conversation that challenges some of medicine's most entrenched assumptions about lipid risk assessment. From the clinical superiority of ApoB over LDL-C and the underrecognized atherogenic burden of Lipoprotein(a), to why HDL-C should no longer be treated as a therapeutic target, Dr. Dayspring delivers evidence-based truths that have direct implications for how clinicians assess and manage cardiovascular risk. If you order lipid panels, counsel patients on cholesterol, or manage ASCVD risk in any capacity — this episode is essential listening.
