What Does It Mean?
Hyperlipidemia refers to abnormally high levels of lipids (fats) in the blood, including cholesterol and triglycerides. This condition increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and metabolic dysfunction.
How Did We Get Here?
Root Causes:
- Poor dietary intake (high saturated fats and refined carbohydrates)
- Genetic predisposition (familial hyperlipidemia)
- Liver dysfunction affecting lipid metabolism
- Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress
- Hormonal imbalances affecting lipid regulation
Signs & Symptoms:
- Elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels
- Increased risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular events
- Fatigue and poor circulation
- Yellowish deposits of fat (xanthomas) in the skin or around the eyes
- Difficulty managing weight despite lifestyle modifications
Diagnostic Criteria: A diagnosis is confirmed through fasting lipid panels and additional cardiovascular risk assessments.
How Do We Treat It?
Treatment focuses on reducing lipid levels, supporting liver function, and improving cardiovascular health.
