Thomas Sowell, one of the most incisive thinkers of our time, warned repeatedly about the dangers of intellectuals detached from real-world consequences. Though he rarely addressed medicine directly, his insights are strikingly applicable to today's healthcare crisis-a system dominated by academic elites, rigid guidelines, and centralized authority, while practical, patient-centered wisdom is sidelined.Nowhere is this intellectual overreach more harmful than in modern medicine. Medical Contributor Dr. Jeff Crippen discusses: Statins and Longevity

This episode is brought to you by the ⁠⁠⁠Primal Tallow Balms⁠⁠⁠.Dr Kendrick emphasizes the lack of scientific evidence linking high cholesterol to heart disease and argues that a higher fat diet can have positive effects on health. The discussion also covers the complexities of LDL cholesterol, the importance of understanding various health markers, and the potential effects of adopting a high-fat diet. In this conversation, Dr. Malcolm Kendrick discusses the complexities of heart health, focusing on the role of blood clots, the impact of diet on cardiovascular health, and the misconceptions surrounding cholesterol and statins. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the glycocalyx and its protective role in blood vessels, the benefits of a high-fat diet, and the potential for plaque regression. Kendrick also critiques the use of statins, arguing that their benefits are often overstated and come with significant side effects. Takeaways* Cholesterol is often misunderstood in relation to heart disease.* Changing medical opinions is challenging due to entrenched beliefs.* High-fat diets can have positive health impacts.* LDL cholesterol is often mischaracterized as harmful.* The relationship between dietary fat and heart health is complex.* Markers like triglycerides and HDL are important for assessing heart health.* Insulin resistance is a key factor in heart disease risk.* The disease process in arteries can take decades to develop.* LDL levels can be influenced by carbohydrate intake, not just fat.* Understanding the nuances of cholesterol can empower patients. Blood clots form on artery walls and can lead to heart disease.* A high-fat diet can improve blood sugar levels and overall health.* The glycocalyx is crucial for protecting blood vessels from damage.* Diabetes damages the glycocalyx, increasing heart disease risk.* A 30-day high-fat diet can lead to significant health improvements.* Stopping the progression of plaque is more important than regression.* Statins may increase nitric oxide but have many adverse effects.* The average increase in life expectancy from statins is minimal.* Challenging your doctor about statin use can be beneficial.* Understanding the true causes of heart disease is essential for prevention.

This podcast summarizes the 4 major cellular uses of cholesterol, its biosynthesis, and the regulation of the rate-limiting enzyme HMG CoA reductase by intracellular cholesterol.The podcast further describes the biochemical mechanism involved in the reduction of plasma cholesterol by statin treatment. Ultimately, statins reduce cholesterol synthesis in the liver, which in turn results in the increased gene expression of the LDL receptor in the liver. Consequently, the increased number of LDL receptors on hepatocyte cell surface increases the uptake of LDL from plasma, thus reducing plasma cholesterol.

Why do we screen for cancer but not the leading cause of death — heart disease? Today, we explore innovative strategies for early detection, prevention, and effective intervention in cardiovascular health.Join hosts Dr. Emmie Brown, ND, and Melissa Gentile, INHC, as they welcome Dr. Joel Kahn, a renowned cardiologist and advocate for plant-based nutrition and holistic approaches to heart health. Dr. Kahn delves into why heart disease has stubbornly remained the leading cause of death despite medical advancements, highlighting the need for a paradigm shift in prevention and early detection.Dr. Kahn critiques the current lack of attention paid to proactive cardiovascular screening, noting the puzzling discrepancy between routine cancer screenings and the absence of widespread use of tools like coronary artery calcium (CAC) CT scans for asymptomatic adults. He champions a personalized, comprehensive approach, moving beyond basic lipid panels and into genetic testing, advanced inflammatory markers, and detailed imaging.They also discuss dietary strategies, including debates on the role of protein and seed oils in heart risk, the importance of the endothelial glycocalyx, and recommendations for clinicians to assess and communicate vascular risk. Dr. Kahn challenges both traditional and trendy wellness beliefs, promoting evidence-based, personalized strategies in integrative cardiology.Key Takeaways from Today's Episode:

BUFFALO, NY – July 22, 2025 – A new #research paper was #published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on July 21, 2025, titled “Statins exhibit anti-tumor potential by modulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling in colorectal cancer.” In this work, led by first author Sneha Tripathi from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research and corresponding author Sanjeev Galande from the Center of Excellence in Epigenetics at Shiv Nadar University, researchers discovered that statins, widely used to lower cholesterol, may also suppress colorectal cancer growth. This finding highlights a potential new role for these common drugs in cancer prevention and therapy. Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and new strategies are urgently needed to improve treatment results. Statins, originally developed to lower cholesterol levels, have gained attention for their possible anti-cancer properties. The study investigated how statins affect the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, a critical driver in colorectal cancer development and progression. The researchers discovered that statins disrupt the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, leading to lower levels of tumor-promoting proteins and to cancer-suppressing cellular behaviors. Experiments in both colorectal cell cultures and mouse models confirmed that statins reduced tumor growth without causing noticeable side effects. This study further revealed that statins downregulate SATB1, a protein linked to aggressive tumor behavior, while increasing SATB2, a protein with tumor-suppressing effects. These changes made the cancer cells less able to grow and spread. “This reciprocal regulation shifts cellular phenotypes between epithelial and mesenchymal states in 3D spheroid models.” Overall, the findings suggest that statins could be repurposed to complement existing colorectal cancer treatments or even be used in preventive strategies for high-risk individuals. By targeting the molecular machinery that drives colorectal tumor development, statins offer a promising, accessible, and well-understood option for further research in cancer therapy. This research opens the door to larger clinical studies to explore how best to integrate statins into cancer care. If successful, this approach could provide a cost-effective strategy for reducing the global burden of colorectal cancer, which remains a significant health challenge.

What Your Doctor May Have Not Shared with You About Cholesterol, Statins, and Nutrient DepletionHey there, Dr. Susan here. Today we're diving into a topic that might surprise you, but could be the missing link in your energy, weight, and hormone struggles.Last time, we talked about Lipitor and how statins, cholesterol-lowering medications, might be impacting your testosterone—and yes, women have testosterone too! It's not just about libido, it's about strength, stamina, motivation, even metabolism.

Hey there friends, Dr. Susan Plank here. Welcome to anotherepisode of your health breakthrough—where we talk about real answers, real testing, and real solutions for your health concerns.Today we're diving into a topic that affects more couplesthan you might think—and it might just explain some of the mystery around energy crashes, low libido, and mood changes in men (and women) as they age.So, whether you're a man in midlife trying to get your mojo back—or the woman who loves him and sees the struggle—this is for you.Today's question is: Is Lipitor lowering your libido?And I promise—it's not just about Lipitor. It's about statins in general, and how they might be doing more than just lowering cholesterol.

We're digging into egg health, inflammation, and the key factors that cause it. We often hear about “low AMH” or “poor egg quality” without answers that go beneath the surface. In today's episode, we explore a missing link that could be driving it all: chronic inflammation. Whether you're dealing with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), or recurrent miscarriage, understanding inflammation's role may be key to moving forward. This episode is for anyone ready to connect the dots between lab results, symptoms, and what's going on inside the body. If you've been told everything is “normal,” but it doesn't feel that way, this is your invitation to dig deeper with science, strategy, and a plan. This episode is for you if: You're struggling with low AMH, diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), or poor egg quality. You want to understand how inflammation could be impacting your fertility journey. You're looking for actionable insights to support egg health naturally through lab markers and lifestyle factors. In this episode you'll learn: How chronic inflammation affects egg quality, ovarian reserve, and miscarriage risk Why low AMH isn't the full story and what labs to ask for next Key blood markers (like hs-CRP, homocysteine, and thyroid antibodies) that reveal hidden inflammation The role of insulin resistance, thyroid imbalance, and nutrient deficiencies in ovarian aging Practical strategies to reduce inflammation and improve egg health with a functional approach --- RESOURCES "Your Labs Are Normal” But Are They? 20 Overlooked Blood Markers & Functional Tests to Improve Egg Quality & Fertility:  https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/your-labs-are-normal-but-are-they-20-overlooked-blood-markers-functional-tests-to-improve-egg-quality-fertility Why Does It Matter If I Have Migraines and POI?: https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/why-does-it-matter-if-i-have-migraines-and-poi?_pos=2&_sid=27548216b&_ss=r The Link Between Sleep and Fertility: Why Getting Enough Rest Matters:  https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/how-poor-sleep-could-be-sabotaging-your-egg-quality Why Addressing Homocysteine Levels Can Boost Egg and Sperm Health: https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/why-addressing-homocysteine-levels-can-boost-egg-and-sperm-health?_pos=1&_sid=750cbcc5e&_ss=r What Mood Swings, Sugar Cravings, Poor Sleep and Feeling Hangry Have to Do With Your Fertility:  https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/what-mood-swings-sugar-cravings-poor-sleep-and-feeling-hangry-has-to-do-with-your-fertility?_pos=11&_sid=02696b0e2&_ss=r Why Genomic Testing Can Help With Recurrent Pregnancy Loss, Birth Outcomes and Preconception Health:  https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/why-genomic-testing-can-help-with-recurrent-pregnancy-loss-birth-outcomes-and-preconception-health?_pos=10&_sid=8a66db686&_ss=r Is Your Thyroid Impacting Egg Health?

In this episode of Quality Talks With Peggy O'Kane, NCQA President Peggy O'Kane sits down with Dr. Rita Redberg, a cardiology pioneer and fierce advocate for evidence-based care. Dr. Redberg, who famously served as Editor-in-Chief of JAMA Internal Medicine for 14 years, shares her "Less is More" philosophy — a perspective that challenges the view that "more" care is always better.Join Peggy and Rita as they explore:The Problem with "More": Why a health care culture focused on technology and volume over patient needs leads to runaway costs and poor results.The Stent Story: How a widely adopted procedure in cardiology gained traction without initial evidence of patient benefit, and the uphill battle to integrate rigorous clinical trials.Mary Caldwell's Odyssey: A cautionary tale illustrating the dangerous cascade of unnecessary testing and interventions, based on a desire for reassurance rather than clinical need.Re-evaluating Statins: Rita's unconventional view on the use of statins in asymptomatic people. She advocates lifestyle changes over medication when the evidence of benefit is thin.Rebuilding Trust: How the fee-for-service payment model erodes the patient-doctor relationship and how regulatory reforms can shift incentives towards patient wellbeing.Rita reminds us that health care quality isn't about more tests or interventions. It's about thoughtful, patient-centered decisions and a commitment to "first, do no harm." This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about improving health outcomes and reducing waste in health care.Key Quote:Most statins are prescribed for people that have not already had a heart attack or have established coronary disease. In that higher risk group, there is some benefit to taking statins. It's not huge but there is some benefit.But most people I see, and most people taking statins, are not in that category. They're healthy people that want to prevent a heart attack and want to live longer. They definitely are not going to feel better. Rita Redberg, MDTime Stamps:(02:09) Misconceptions in Medicine(10:01) Mary Caldwell: A Cautionary Tale(13:35) Choosing Wisely Campaign: A Step Towards Better Care(16:32) Debating the Use of Statins(21:31) Trust, Incentives and the High Cost of US Care(27:05) Technology, Teams and Trust Links:JAMA Internal Medicine “Less is More”Choosing WiselyConnect with Rita

“Your cholesterol is high.” It's a phrase millions hear each year—often followed by a statin prescription and little else. But with statins now the most prescribed drugs on the planet, why is heart disease still the world's #1 killer? And why are we not talking about the bigger picture? In this hard-hitting episode, we're joined by Dr. Ross Walker, one of Australia's leading voices in preventive cardiology, to challenge the mainstream narrative—and ask the questions that could save lives. We explore: The truth behind cholesterol—what it is, what it isn't, and why one number shouldn't define your risk. Statins: miracle drug or misunderstood medicine? Who really benefits, and at what cost? The role of genetics—including the common but underdiagnosed condition, Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH). Visit the DNA Screen Project to learn more: https://dnascreen.monash.edu/ Why prevention struggles to compete with Big Pharma—and what needs to change. The 30-Day Heart Health Plan every listener should hear, with Dr. Walker's actionable advice on food, movement, stress, and testing. This episode is not anti-medication—it's pro-information. Because your heart health deserves more than a prescription.

Today I'm talking about cholesterol and why it's not the enemy of our heath that needs to be subdued by statins.  Cholesterol is in fact the key building block for ALL our cell membranes - structure, integrity and fluidity are not maintained without it.  ➡️It is the essential precursor needed to create all our steroid hormones, such as testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, cortisol.  ➡️It is necessary to produce Vitamin D from sunlight.  ➡️It is essential for brain health. How could we possibly expect to live our best most vibrant life, if we are suppressing the body's ability to produce cholesterol?    ➡️Healthy Meals Made Easy PDF https://go.drwholeness.com/healthy-meals-made-easy -------- Connect with Dr. Matt online:  

Without this one thing, every single thing you know and love would disappear. Soil would fail, forests would starve, antibiotics would, well, vanish, and your morning coffee, bread, beer, and even chocolate would be gone. The thing I'm talking about is everywhere. It's probably in your lunch. It's almost certainly in your lungs. It's in your sourdough starter, your compost heap. Got a clue yet? Most people don't actually know what these things are. I'm talking about fungi. Fungi are not plants, not animals, not bacteria — they're something else entirely. And they're really, really old.They're older than dinosaurs, older than sharks — they might even be older than plants, depending on how you define a plant.Today, I'm diving into something I'm actually violently allergic to: fungus. I'm covering everything from what fungi actually are (because it turns out most of us have no idea) to why they might be the most important thing on Earth… ish.In this episode I share: What prokaryotes and eukaryotes areWhat fungi actually areThe different types of fungiHow fungi moved from ocean to land and began a symbiotic relationship with plantsHow fungi can decompose almost anything — including radiationZombie fungus (and whether we should worry)How fungi reproduceWhy they're incredibly usefulSome of the annoying and dangerous things they doHow we might use fungi to help fix the planet.Key quotes:"Fungi are more closely related to us than to plants.""Turns out plants talk way more than you think they do."Sources: Billion-year-old fungal fossils (Nature 2019): https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1217-0Armillaria “humongous fungus” 9 km² individual: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/strange-but-true-largest-organism-is-fungus/Prototaxites 8 m Silurian-Devonian giant: https://www.science.org/content/article/ancient-giant-fossils-may-be-world-s-oldest-known-terrestrial-fungi90 % of plants with mycorrhizae (Nature Scitable): https://www.nature.com/scitable/knowledge/library/an-ecological-and-evolutionary-perspective-on-mycorrhizal-24286790/Mycorrhizal carbon sink 3–7 Gt CO₂ yr⁻¹ (Science 2022): https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abf3457Penicillin discovery background (Nobel Prize): https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/1945/fleming/facts/Statins from Penicillium citrinum (review): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5958453/Cyclosporine discovery story: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7568434/Psilocybin phase-II depression trial (JAMA Psychiatry 2021): https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/2787297Plastic-eating fungus Pestalotiopsis microspora (2011 study): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22269855/ CDC overview of Candida auris drug resistance: https://www.cdc.gov/fungal/candida-auris/Chytrid fungus amphibian decline paper (Science 2006): https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.1125069Mycoremediation and mycofiltration review (Biodegradation 2018): https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10532-018-0914-8Find our full podcast via the website here: https://www.nowthatswhaticall.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nowthatswhaticallgreen/You can follow me on socials on the below accounts.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/briannemwest/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@briannemwestLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/briannemwest/

Story at-a-glance Cholesterol is essential for hormone production, brain function, and cell health, and about 80% of it is made by your body — not consumed in food. High triglycerides, not total cholesterol, pose a stronger risk for heart attack — raising risk by 80% — making triglyceride-to-HDL ratio a better heart disease predictor Newer science shows chronic inflammation — not LDL alone — may be the real cause of plaque buildup in arteries, shifting focus to markers like ApoB and CRP Natural options like garlic, artichoke, bergamot, plant sterols, green tea, and oats have been shown in clinical studies to lower LDL cholesterol and improve heart markers Red yeast rice can lower LDL by up to 33%, but it contains a statin-like compound with the same side effects and potential kidney toxins like citrinin Lifestyle changes like cutting sugar, walking daily, and sleeping well can activate the Pareto Principle — where 20% of effort yields 80% of results in lowering cholesterol. Exercise improves five key metabolic biomarkers — glucose, HDL, triglycerides, blood pressure, and waist size — each linked to long-term cardiovascular health

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:     Kellie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have been with your program for almost 6 months now. I have completed the Vit-Tox tests and have gone through the FM Detox twice and now going through the CBO Protocol. I just turned 38 years old and I feel like my joints are of an 80 year old. I have played soccer since age 5 and still play on a competitive coed league to this day. I have played many other team/contact sports in the past. I have had past ankle, knee, and hip injuries due to sports and I do see possible knee and hip replacements in my future. When I do my daily workouts or go up/down stairs my ankles, knees, hips, and back crack or pop so easily and so much. I don't see glucosamine chondroitin as a supplement in your shop. Are there any suggestions you may have to keep my joints healthier? Thank you!!              Jon: Hey Dr Cabral, looking for advice and i feel like there's a population that struggles with this same topic. My Dr is recommending a statin due to my high LDL-C of 230. My LDL has gone up after cleaning up my diet in the last 7 months however ALL of my markers tested for have improved. Triglycerides have gone from over 200 to 100, HDL is up to 60, VLDL has dropped from 30 to 15, A1C is 5.2, blood pressure is normal for the first time ever, and so onr. My personal opinion is that i'm healthier than ever and i can't imagine having to go on what seems like a lifetime drug due to one marker being off and i don't buy the story that LDL alone is a concern for me. Curious on your opinion here and if you think i have something to worry about. Thanks!!                                                                                                                            Annette: I've been diagnosed with nephrocalcinosis by conventional doctors who say the cause is genetic. I have adjusted my diet to low sodium, low oxalate foods. The doctors say my next step is to try to get on the kidney transplant list before I need dialysis. I take potassium citrate and a calcitriol. Is there anything I can do to improve my kidney function?                                                                                                  Summer: Hi Dr. Cabral! I heard you say that it's best to replace aluminum cookware, but not necessary, and instead to use parchment paper as a barrier. Doesn't the aluminum off gas when heated? How does parchment paper prevent the aluminum from getting into the food? Thanks! By the way, to all my fellow listeners: please contact your state representatives and let them know you do not consent to geo-engineering in your skies. Several states have now banned it. We could all live healthier lives if we could work toward eliminating toxins and heavy metals including aluminum that are regularly being sprayed into our air.                                                                                                                                                Ann: Thank you Dr Cabral- you are changing SO many lives - thank you for all of your wisdom and teachings:) I have a question about Magnesium. My cortisol was high at my last lab test, and I took Full Spectrum magnesium for 12 weeks, and now I take Cal Mag daily. I also understand that I can take Calming Magnesium and CBD at night to help with sleep.I don't want to take too much for too long for my body, but I still think I need the help for my cortisol levels/ sleep.

If you want glowing, youthful skin, you must work from the inside out. Discover one of the best anti-aging foods for your skin to add to your diet today! 0:00 Introduction: How to look younger 1:46 The best anti-aging food4:27 Collagen and anti-aging4:52 The best anti-aging diet Is your beauty routine actually aging you? The creams and lotions you think are helping your skin could have plastics, toxic chemicals, and hidden carcinogens. Even the products containing collagen will not be absorbed topically through the skin.Over-cleansing and excess scrubbing destroy your skin's microbiome. Tap water contains fluoride and chlorine, which are toxic and damaging to the skin. A filter for your shower can help.Statins can also destroy youthful skin. They block cholesterol, which is essential for skin health and integrity. The FDA does not do third-party testing on the chemicals in your anti-aging products. The EU has banned 1600 cosmetic ingredients, while the US has only banned 30. The best anti-aging food is high in retinol, an essential building block for connective tissue and vital for the skin's immune function. This anti-aging food contains copper and zinc, which support skin elasticity and healing. It's loaded with iron, and a single serving has more anti-wrinkle and anti-aging benefits than many expensive creams. If you haven't guessed, grass-fed liver is the #1 anti-aging superfood! Grass-fed liver contains every cofactor and nutrient necessary for healthy, youthful skin. Some people don't enjoy eating liver, and if you have preexisting liver damage, you may feel tired after eating it. If this happens, try taking one beef liver capsule before bed. Soaking liver in lemon juice can improve its taste. Many good recipes also make it more palatable. Liver pâté, grass-fed liver pills, and blending liver with ground beef can also help mask the flavor. If you consume collagen, you need many cofactors to penetrate the skin. Liver provides all of them!Ultraprocessed foods will make you look older! Low-fat diets can also have an aging effect on the skin. Low-fat protein and poor quality protein will help you lose weight, but won't help you look younger.

Story at-a-glance Nearly 40 million Americans take statins daily, yet these drugs don't fix the root cause of high cholesterol and often cause serious side effects like muscle pain and insulin resistance Dr. Adriana Quinones-Camacho, a cardiologist at NYU Langone Health, recommends lifestyle changes — like eating clean fats, exercising, and losing weight — as first-line treatments before resorting to risky cholesterol-lowering medications Eliminating processed seed oils and consuming whole-food omega-3s from fatty fish (in optimal amounts) will help improve your lipid profile and support natural cholesterol clearance through liver and cell function Excess weight raises low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels and leads to plaque buildup in arteries; reducing sugar, increasing fiber, and adding daily movement reverses this damage and promotes long-term cardiovascular health Statins are linked to diabetes, cataracts, muscle breakdown, and depleted CoQ10, making lifestyle changes not only safer but also more effective for lasting heart and metabolic health

In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Dr. Abid Husain joins Dr. Scott Sherr for a masterclass on cardiovascular health — from cholesterol myths to mitochondrial truth.

Whether you're a clinician or simply someone trying to make smarter choices for your heart, this episode offers insight into testing, interventions, and personalized strategies that go beyond basic lipid panels. Join us as we delve into: + Why LDL alone doesn't tell the full story of cardiovascular risk + How mitochondria, hormones, and inflammation intersect with lipid metabolism + The real role of CCTA scans, plaque imaging, and particle size analysis + Advanced medications and peptides that support vascular and metabolic health This episode is for you if: - You've been told to fear cholesterol but want the full picture - You're a practitioner looking to personalize cardiovascular treatment plans - You've heard of statins and PCSK9s but don't know when or why to use them - You're curious about GLP-1s, NO precursors, and other precision tools for heart health You can also find this episode on… YouTube: https://youtu.be/npYvJS2cpGc Find more from Dr. Abid Husain: Boulder Longevity: https://boulderlongevity.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abid-husain-md-facc-abaarm-00874419/ Find more from Smarter Not Harder: Website: https://troscriptions.com/blogs/podcast | https://homehope.org Instagram: @troscriptions | @homehopeorg Get 10% Off your purchase of the Metabolomics Module by using PODCAST10 at https://www.homehope.org Get 10% Off your Troscriptions purchase by using POD10 at https://www.troscriptions.com Get daily content from the hosts of Smarter Not Harder by following @troscriptions on Instagram.

When you think about cholesterol, what's the first thing that comes to mind? For most of us, it's 'bad,' 'heart attack,' or 'needs medication.' But what if the story we've been told about cholesterol is at best an oversimplification, and at worst flat-out wrong? What if cholesterol isn't the enemy? What if I told you that it plays a critical role in your immune function, hormone production, and even your longevity? Emerging research challenges the conventional narrative, revealing that cholesterol is not just a risk factor - it's an essential component of optimal health. We are debunking cholesterol myths and statin lies... and everything I share with you is cited in the show notes, so definitely check those out!
