“I feel fine—why do I need to see a doctor?”

That’s exactly what most people think until they find out they have high cholesterol, a high risk of a heart attack, or early-stage diabetes.

And that is precisely why the third episode of our project on Screening 40+ is dedicated to a stage that many consider a mere formality.

But the truth is that test results show numbers. And the doctor explains whether those numbers pose a risk specifically to you and what you need to do to avoid becoming a patient of a cardiologist, endocrinologist, or neurologist in a few years.

In this series, Pavel Olegovich Kolesnik has a consultation following his medical tests and discusses:

✔️ what your test results mean;
✔️ why cholesterol can be dangerous even if you have no symptoms;
✔️ how cardiovascular disease risks are assessed;
✔️ which daily habits support your health and which ones work against it.

The biggest mistake is to wait for symptoms to appear.

Prevention works only when a person takes action before the disease sets in. That is why millions of lives around the world are saved not by complex surgeries, but by timely screenings, preventive consultations, and simple lifestyle changes.

Please note: Following the update to the Screening 40+ state program, you no longer need to wait until your birthday.
