Why the 10-Year Heart Risk Calculator Is Dangerous

📖 Description:

Welcome back to the Byolete podcast, where we discuss the science behind the brand.

In this episode, we question the widespread use of the 10-year cardiovascular risk calculator — the same tool used in nearly every GP surgery to decide when (and if) to intervene. But if we know cardiovascular disease begins decades before diagnosis, why are we waiting so long to act?

We explore how these risk scores overlook younger individuals, fail to account for key biomarkers, and reinforce a system that reacts to illness instead of preventing it. This is a conversation about rethinking risk, redefining prevention, and building a better model for long-term health.
