He's big on ApoB. I think he said when you test LDL now you don't really get how much LDL you have only what amount of cholesterol is in your LDL cells (or something like that). ApoB shows you what % of your cholesterol is LDL (I think).

Some people are born with a very low ApoB and those people never have heart disease issues. He wants his clients to get their ApoB as low as possible.

This was my takeaway as well. Those two guys are so fricking smart I’ve got to rewind that shite multiple times and sometimes I still don’t understand.

Standard cholesterol labs measure the amount of cholesterol carried within a lipid particle. The scientific name of a non-HDL lipid particle is the Apolipoprotein B particle ("Apo B"). When you get an Apo B measurement you are getting a measurement of the amount of the non-HDL cholesterol carrying particles instead of the amount of cholesterol contained therein. There is some correlation between the standard lipid panel measurement and an Apo B reading, but it is not 100% and varies.

Disclaimer, I am not a MD. This is just my understanding from doing plenty of research on the issue.
