The Controversy Surrounding Statins and Lifestyle Medicine

Dr. Steven Lome discussed the debate surrounding statins and their impact on mortality. He highlighted the importance of distinguishing between primary and secondary prevention and emphasized the value of lifestyle medicine. While statins have proven benefits, especially for those at high risk, Dr. Lome stresses the significance of adopting a plant-based diet and engaging in regular exercise. These interventions serve as powerful tools against heart disease. However, in situations where lifestyle changes are not implemented or are insufficient, statins can play a vital role. #StatinsDebate #LifestyleMedicine #HeartHealth
