The Home Security System and the Lipid Neighborhood

Un-Complicating Cholesterol and Cardiovascular Disease

De: Josh Wageman

Narrado por: Joshua Wageman

It sounds like the start of a bad joke…or perhaps a confusingly awesome dream. A Physical Therapist, ex-collegiate track athlete, Ivy league grad, Youth Pastor, and some dude with a PhD start having a conversation about cholesterol. And then you realize all those guys are THE SAME GUY, and that guy takes you on a whimsical pilgrimage that results in YOU having a framework for NOT having heart attacks, strokes, and dementia. Employing a smorgasbord of metaphors, pictures, and catchphrases, "The Home Security System and the Lipid Neighborhood" serves as a valuable reference for clinicians and non-clinicians alike, bringing refreshing relatability to complex biochemical topics. Through a lipid-lens, you’ll learn, laugh, and love your way through its pages…and in the end, you’ll undoubtedly add “life to your years!”

Outstanding Review of Cholesterol and Cardiac Risk

Josh Wageman does an excellent job of discussing the complicated world of cholesterol and cardiac risk. He does this in an entertaining way. I will be recommending this book to my patients who would like a deeper dive into body physiology and how to stay healthy. Josh does an excellent job of focusing on lifestyle modification and demystifies some of the confusion about cholesterol medication. I also appreciate that he talks about his faith and how this helps to decrease cardiac risk.
