"Recognizing and Managing High Cholesterol: From Earlobes to Feet"
A crease on the earlobe, known as Frank's Sign, could be an indicator of clogged arteries, a condition linked to lower levels of the Klotho hormone, which is associated with arterial health. First observed by Dr. Frank in 1975, this sign has been confirmed by recent studies to correlate with cardiovascular issues. Naturopathic doctor Dr. Janine Bowring suggests natural remedies like garlic, Fo-Ti, and guggulsterone to maintain healthy arteries. While Frank's Sign should not solely dictate clinical management, it can be considered in physical examinations. Lifestyle changes are recommended to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis.
