When faced with high LDL cholesterol, most doctors prescribe statins without investigating the root cause. Using integrative health approaches, we can identify what's truly driving cholesterol elevation and address the body's underlying imbalances.
• High cholesterol affects 94 million US adults, with 29 million having levels over 240 mg/dL
• Statins deplete essential nutrients like CoQ10 and vitamin K2, causing side effects without addressing root causes
• Cholesterol serves as the body's "patch kit" to repair damage, rising in response to inflammation
• Key drivers of high cholesterol include inflammation, liver dysfunction, insulin resistance, nutrient deficiencies, and oxidative stress
• Functional lab testing reveals underlying issues through hair mineral analysis, omega-3 index, and comprehensive hormone panels
• Natural rebalancing strategies include anti-inflammatory nutrition, targeted supplementation, and appropriate movement
• Extreme approaches like severe calorie restriction and excessive exercise can actually elevate cholesterol by stressing the body
