http://www.healthshow.org/ – You want to have a healthy heart? Keep your cholesterol down. You won't find many people who'll argue with that. But is keeping your cholesterol down enough. On this week's Health Show we'll find out why doctors are moving away from using cholesterol as a barometer for heart disease and treating the whole person instead.

We'll also hear about C-Reactive Protein...and why testing your levels might be part of your next check up.

Sandy D drops by to remind us it's all about the diet and exercise, stupid.

And we'll hear about a new study that says you're probably not as involved in your health care as you should be.
