The Truth About Cholesterol: Essential for Life and Health

Cholesterol is essential for cell structure, hormones, and brain function. Balance is key; lowering it with drugs can cause health issues. Manage cholesterol with diet, lifestyle changes, and supplements to reduce chronic disease risks.

No Brain Fog

High Immunity

No Headaches

Contrary to popular belief, cholesterol is not the enemy. We rely on cholesterol to maintain cell structure, produce hormones, and support brain function. Lowering overall cholesterol levels with drugs may lead to diabetes, heart conditions, and cognitive issues. A study in the New England Journal highlighted that medications cannot protect you if HDL cholesterol and LDL are both low. 
 

Cholesterol becomes a problem when the body is stressed or inflamed. High cholesterol is often linked to insulin resistance, high blood pressure, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases. Understanding this link is essential for managing our health.
 

Cholesterol is essential to life, so the goal is not to lower it but to ensure that you have the right type and quantity of cholesterol. Taking charge of your diet means taking charge of your cholesterol. Remember, cholesterol is one of many factors leading to metabolic disease. A healthy diet, the right supplements, exercise, and other lifestyle changes can reduce your risk of heart disease and significantly improve your cholesterol levels, lowering the risk of many chronic diseases.
