Published Articles
Articles I have written (or been interviewed for) have appeared on Healtline.com, Prevention.com, and Answers.com. My award-winning article, I’m Taking These 4 Steps to Help Lower My Cholesterol, was published on Healthline.com on April 11, 2017.
In 2013-14, I wrote as Cholesterol Category Expert for Answers.com. Links to those published articles are below. Note: nearly all of my Answers.com articles were published before the seismic November 2013 shift in how the medical community interprets cholesterol results and revised dietary guidelines. See my post, New Cholesterol Guidelines – An App For That for information explaining why cholesterol targets are no longer used and how the revised guidelines treat cholesterol and heart disease risk.
