b'I am excited to share our fourth class in our informative Lipid Masterclass series today, with the esteemed Dr. Thomas Dayspring. Dr. Dayspring is certified in internal medicine and clinical lipidology and is a distinguished fellow of the American College of Physicians and the National Lipid Association. He brings a wealth of expertise to our discussion today.\\nIn this class, we dive into lipid and lipoprotein dynamics during the menopausal transition, exploring the impact of estrogen on gut health and its effects on laboratory findings. We look at the differences between hyper absorbers and hyper synthesizers, sharing clinical insights on routine lipid panels that can let you know if you are one of those individuals. We talk about Boston Heart Testing, highlighting the impact of specific biomarkers on brain health lipids and lipoproteins, and we get into the staggering differences between the half-lives of peripheral cholesterol and brain cholesterol. We discuss lipid permeability across the blood-brain barrier, highlighting those at risk for brain health concerns as they age, and we reveal strategies for managing lipid abnormalities. We also focus on LP(a), an ApoB lipoprotein with potent atherogenic and thrombotic properties, and its implications regarding calcific aortic stenosis.\\xa0\\nI am sure you will find this enlightening conversation with Dr. Dayspring invaluable. There is one more class yet to come in this masterclass series. Be sure to listen in!\\n\\nIN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:\\n\\nHow cholesterol absorption in the gut increases in perimenopausal women\\n\\nHow hyper cholesterol absorbers tend to have elevated HDL cholesterol\\n\\nThe impact of phytosterols on cholesterol absorption\\n\\nWhen should hyperabsorbers consider treatment?\\n\\nWhat research has shown regarding the differing effects of estrogen on brain health for older versus younger menopausal women\\n\\nWhat happens if a statin crosses the blood-brain barrier?\\n\\nHow cholesterol synthesis relates to cognitive impairment\\xa0\\n\\nThe importance of understanding LP-PLA2 test results\\n\\nHow Lp(a) levels in women tend to fluctuate, particularly during menopause\\n\\nShould women with heart disease consider hormone replacement therapy?\\n\\n\\xa0\\nBio:\\nThomas Dayspring MD is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians and the National Lipid Association certified in internal medicine and clinical lipidology.
