In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into one of the most misunderstood topics in health—cholesterol. For decades, we’ve been told that cholesterol is the enemy, that high LDL means heart disease, and that we should avoid eggs and saturated fats like the plague. But what if we’ve been looking at it all wrong?
We’ll explore the real role of cholesterol in the body, why LDL isn’t actually a fat but a protein that transports fat to the brain, and how statin drugs—prescribed to millions—come with serious side effects that often go ignored.
Plus, we’ll take a look at how cholesterol guidelines have changed over the years (and why the ‘normal’ levels keep getting lower), the shocking history of the war on fat, and why cholesterol in your diet has little impact on your blood levels.
If you’ve ever been told you have ‘high cholesterol’ and need to be on medication, this episode is a MUST-listen.
Let’s separate fact from fiction and get to the truth about cholesterol!
