Minimally Invasive Information

First off, it would be nice if they could have hired a narrator who could pronounce atherosclerosis and cholesterol properly. Other than that, the information presented was ok nothing earth shaking. Certainly not the level of insight I had expected from Dr. Barrett from reading his substack. Perhaps he is better in short form than long form. There are better books on this topic.
