So, what is Familial Hypercholesterolemia, you ask?

It’s a fancy way of saying genetically really high cholesterol.

Having FH does not mean you’re broken.

I share my story because I wish someone shared theirs with my Mom before it was too late. Out of the 1 in 250 that have FH, 70% have no idea. And with proper diagnosis and treatment, you can lower your risk of heart disease by 80%.

From the 2023 Family Heart Foundation’s Global FH Summit panel discussion.
