Lipids have critical functions in the body, especially in storing fuel for future use. There are 3 major types of lipids namely: triglycerides, phospholipids, and sterols. Among this trio, triglyceride is the most important but least scrutinized. In this episode, Dr. Jockers examines the differences between high triglycerides and low triglycerides. Next, he defines 'bad' and 'good' cholesterols and highlights the various factors within the major players in lipid profile levels.

"Triglyceride is the most important lipid and HIGH triglyceride levels are the most important lipid examined."
