LDL gets a bad rap. In today's episode we discuss what the real culprit of heart disease is, in most cases, and the cholesterol numbers you really need to be keeping track of. Plus, some ratios using your total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglyceride levels to know your risk for coronary heart disease.

Triglycerides/HDL is the best indicator of heart disease risk. Optimal below a 1.2 or 1. Below a 2 is good.

Total Cholesterol/HDL is good at indicating how metabolically healthy your body is. Good is below a 5. Lower than a 4 is optimal.

LDL/HDL shows you your level of insulin resistance. You want this below a 3.5.
