Rethinking Cholesterol, Statins, and Heart Disease: A Conversation with David Diamond, PhD

What if much of what we believe about LDL cholesterol and heart disease is incomplete—or flat-out wrong? Join us for a thought-provoking discussion with David Diamond, PhD—a neuroscientist and internationally recognized expert challenging conventional thinking around cholesterol, statins, and cardiovascular risk. With more than 150 scientific publications, Dr. Diamond has spent decades examining how diet, metabolism, and medical incentives shape our understanding of heart disease. In this live session, we’ll explore: • The complex role of LDL cholesterol in cardiovascular health • How metabolic health may influence cardiovascular risk differently than traditional models suggest • Why statins remain one of the most debated therapies in modern medicine • The broader question: are we focusing on the right markers and the right interventions? Known for his ability to make complex science accessible, Dr. Diamond encourages a deeper, evidence-driven evaluation of the assumptions guiding prevention and treatment strategies. This conversation comes ahead of his upcoming presentation at the Boca Raton Symposium for Metabolic Health (January 23-25, 2026)—where cardiovascular conditions will take center stage for an entire day.
