  1. Why “Normal” Cholesterol Can Still Kill You with Dr. John Osborne

    Why “Normal” Cholesterol Can Still Kill You with Dr. John Osborne

    Text us a comment or question! If you’ve ever been told, “Your cholesterol looks normal - nothing to worry about,” this episode could save your life.   Because the uncomfortable truth is this: a huge percentage of heart attacks happen to people who were told their numbers were “fine.” No warning signs. No symptoms. Just a moment that changes everything.   In this episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, Kevin English sits down with world-class preventive cardiologist Dr. John Osborne to unpack why traditional cholesterol tests often miss the real danger - and what men and women over 50 need to know if they want to stay strong, active, and fully engaged in life.   Dr. Osborne is one of fewer than 50 physicians in the U.S. triple board-certified in cardiology, hypertension, and lipidology. He’s Harvard-trained, nationally recognized, and has personally interpreted 25,000+ advanced heart scans, proving that heart disease is not random—it’s predictable, preventable, and often reversible.   This is a must-listen episode if you’re over 50, feel “pretty healthy,” and want to make sure you’re not unknowingly sitting on a ticking time bomb.   In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why “normal” cholesterol numbers can still hide serious heart diseaseThe critical difference between cholesterol levels and arterial plaqueWhy stress tests and basic blood work often miss early heart diseaseWhat Dr. Osborne calls the “cardiac colonoscopy” - and why it mattersHow heart disease quietly develops 20–30 years before a heart attackWhy fit, active adults over 50 can still be at riskWhat proactive, prevention-first heart care actually looks likeThe steps you can take now to protect your health, longevity, and legacy  If your goal is to lose fat, build muscle, stay energetic, and participate fully in life for decades to come, your heart health matters more than ever.   This conversation challenges outdated assumptions, empowers you with better questions to ask your doctor, and gives you clarity on what *real* prevention looks like - without fear-mongering or hype.   If you’re too young to feel this old - and too smart to rely on outdated advice - this episode is for you.   👉 Listen now and take control of your heart health. Your future self will thank you.   Connect with Dr. Osborne: Website: https://clearcardio.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ClearCardio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61569935527337 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clearcardio/   Dr. Osborne recommends the Omron EVOLV Blood Pressure Monitor: https://www.amazon.com/Omron-Bluetooth-Wireless-Pressure-Compatible/dp/B01MRL790Q Over 50 and frustrated with your progress?
