Fasting Is Only Reserved For Ruling Out Severe Hypertriglyceridemia

I’m Dr. Michael Richman, a double board certified cardiothoracic surgeon . In today’s video I will present the latest evidence-based science showing why skipping breakfast before your cholesterol test is outdated and unnecessary.

For further guidance, advocacy or a cardiovascular/lipid consultation, please go to PaladinMDs because “it’s like having a doctor in the family.”

Thanks for reading Doctor, Doctor tell me the TRUTH!! This post is public so feel free to share it.
