What do we really know about cholesterol… and what are we missing? In this Lipid Insights episode, host Peter H. Jones, MD, MNLA sits down with Thomas Dayspring, MD, FACP, MNLA — widely known as “Dr. Lipid” — for a deep dive into the world of sterols and what Dr. Dayspring has coined “sterology.”

Dr. Dayspring breaks down why cholesterol is so fundamentally important to cellular function, how cells defend against excess cholesterol buildup, how gut microflora influence cholesterol absorption, and the fascinating role of ABCG5 and ABCG8. Equal parts chemistry lesson and clinical revelation with Dr. Lipid!
