Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Southern Remedy Healthy and Fit | listener question
Q: Cholesterol.
The host explains that a newer cholesterol medication, Repatha (a PCSK9 inhibitor), can significantly lower LDL cholesterol and reduce heart attack and stroke risk. It is injectable, often used when statins are not tolerated or when additional LDL lowering is needed, but insurance coverage and cost can be barriers, sometimes requiring prior authorization.
Southern Remedy Healthy and Fit | New cholesterol guidelines
Q: What's different about the 2026 cholesterol guidelines compared to 2018?
They introduce a broader and longer view of risk via the Prevent calculator, include new lipid tests (ApoB and Lp(a)) to show particle burden and genetic risk, set more aggressive LDL targets, and emphasize lifestyle factors (smoking, sleep, alcohol) as integral parts of prevention.
Southern Remedy Healthy and Fit | Colorectal Cancer
Q: What should someone do if they're anxious about colonoscopy?
The discussion aims to normalize screening, noting improved prep experiences, sedation, and the long interval between colonoscopies when results are normal, while offering reassurance about alternatives if needed.
Southern Remedy Healthy and Fit | Colorectal Cancer
Q: What lifestyle changes can reduce colon cancer risk?
Regular exercise, avoiding smoking, limiting alcohol, increasing fruit and vegetable intake, and reducing processed meats are all advised to lower risk, with emphasis on dietary choices that protect colon health.
Southern Remedy Healthy and Fit | Colorectal Cancer
Q: What screening methods exist besides colonoscopy, and when are they appropriate?
Stool-based tests (like Cologuard), sigmoidoscopy, and virtual colonography are available; they can be appropriate for certain individuals, especially where access or preference limit colonoscopy, but colonoscopy remains the most capable for early detection and prevention.
