Welcome to The Superhumanize Podcast.

I’m your host, Ariane Sommer and today, we’re not just talking about heart health…

We’re decoding it.

My guest is Dr. Ronald Krauss, one of the most influential voices in cardiovascular research today. A professor of medicine at UCSF and a pioneer in lipidology, Dr. Krauss has reshaped how we understand cholesterol, inflammation, and the subtle particles that move through our blood and, often, determine our fate.

In this conversation, we go far beyond the standard cholesterol panel.

We explore the deeper nuances like the size and density of LDL particles, the overlooked power of ApoB and Lp(a), and how refined carbohydrates, not saturated fats, may play a much larger role in cardiovascular risk than we've been led to believe.

We also enter emerging frontiers:

How the gut microbiome shapes the heart, how our genes can guide more precise therapies, and how personalized nutrition may become one of the most powerful tools for prevention in the years to come.

This episode is not just for the curious, it’s for those who sense there’s more to the story of heart disease than numbers on a lab report.

It’s for those who believe science can be both evidence-based and visionary.

And for those of us who know the body carries not just risk, but memory, intelligence, and code.

Episode highlights:

  • Why small, dense LDL particles are more dangerous than large ones
  • The role of ApoB and Lp(a) as underused but powerful heart health indicators
  • How metabolic syndrome and inflammation interconnect with lipid disorders
  • The surprising truth about saturated fat vs. refined carbs
  • The promise (and limitations) of personalized nutrition and genomics
  • How physical activity and gut health shape lipid metabolism
  • New frontiers in the fight against dementia linked to cardiovascular function
