Meet Karl Vanderlugt
Through genetic testing, Karl learned his body doesn’t produce a protein that removes bad cholesterol. “I knew I had high cholesterol and they tried to put me on a diet to control it, but it didn’t control it. Now I know why,” Vanderlugt said. Karl also discovered a medication he should avoid.
