Ep. 523 This Is Why Your Cholesterol Shifts in Midlife – The Best Strategies to Reduce Risk & Improve Vascular Health with Dr. Thomas Dayspring
Wednesday, 26 November, 2025
I am excited to reconnect with Dr. Tom Dayspring today. He joined me before for an extremely popular seven-part podcast series where we tackled topics related to lipids and the physiological shifts that occur as we transition from perimenopause into menopause. Dr. Dayspring graciously agreed to return today for an Ask Me Anything episode, where we explore how lipids change as we navigate the perimenopause-to-menopause transition and discuss the significance of bioindividuality, inflammation, vascular health, and endothelial function in the context of changing estrogen levels. Dr. Dayspring also clarifies how visceral fat affects lipid levels, and we discuss testing for cardiovascular disease, the relevance of particle size, LPIR scores, and physical markers of insulin resistance. Stay tuned for today’s valuable and fascinating conversation. I will share the second AMA with Dr. Dayspring later this fall. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How estrogen loss impacts lipid metabolism in midlife Shifts in vascular health that occur during the menopause transition What makes endothelial function central to long-term health? Why triglycerides matter more than you think How variations in LDL particle size influence cardiovascular risk What standard cholesterol tests could miss about your cardiovascular health How inflammation can alter your lipid profile How your genes and lifestyle shape your lipid profile Markers women need to track over and above standard cholesterol tests How menopause reshapes women’s cardiovascular risk profile Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia’s website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Connect with Dr. Thomas Dayspring On X (@DrLipid) On LinkedIn
