Welcome to The Lipid Lens, the Foundation of the National Lipid Association’s podcast bringing timely, engaging conversations on lipid health into focus.
Whether you’re a clinician, a researcher, a patient trying to make sense of your lab results, or simply someone curious about what’s happening inside your arteries, you’ve found the right place.
Each episode, we sit down with leading minds in lipidology, cardiology,
nutrition, and beyond — experts who live and breathe this science — and talk through every topic like a conversation, not a lecture.
From expert analysis on the latest clinical data to candid conversations with those living with lipid-related disorders, The Lipid Lens is here to make complex topics feel approachable — and to remind you that you’re not alone.

S1 E1: In Their Shoes: Caregiver Voices in FCS
What does it really mean to support someone living with familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS)? In the debut episode of The Lipid Lens , host Dr. Marlys Koschinsky sits down with Dr. Albert Freedman, Nicole McCoy, and Phillip McCoy to explore the deeply personal side of an FCS diagnosis. Nicole shares her journey as a patient, while Phillip offers an honest look at what it means to show up as a partner and caregiver. Together, they reflect on what they wish they had known sooner and share their advice for others navigating life with FCS. A powerful first episode for patients, caregivers, and the clinicians who care for them.
Guests: Dr. Albert Freedman, Nicole McCoy, and Phillip McCoy.
