Cholesterol Management Insights

Peter discusses the mechanisms of statins and Ezetimibe in cholesterol management, highlighting how statins lower cholesterol by targeting a key enzyme and prompting the liver to increase LDL receptors. Ezetimibe, on the other hand, blocks cholesterol absorption in the gut, functioning like a "ticket taker" for cholesterol molecules. The conversation also touches on the side effects of these medications, noting that Ezetimibe is generally well-tolerated.
