INSIGHT

Beyond Genetics: Metabolic Drivers Matter

  • Multiple drivers beyond genetics raise ApoB and cardiovascular risk, so genetics alone rarely explains late-life changes.
  • Insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction, inflammation and hormonal shifts often trigger lipid dysfunction.
ADVICE

Keep A1c Low To Protect The Heart

  • Monitor glycemic markers: keep hemoglobin A1c ideally 4.8–5.2 and always below 5.5 in Cabral's practice.
  • Address rising A1c early because it increases risk for heart disease, Alzheimer's and metabolic decline.
ADVICE

Investigate Why Thyroid Is Low

  • Evaluate and optimize thyroid health beyond just T4 prescriptions by checking causes like cortisol, zinc, selenium, iodine.
  • Use broader metabolic testing (stress, metabolism, big five) to find root causes of low thyroid production.
