Cholesterol medications, particularly statins, are some of the most commonly prescribed drugs worldwide, but did you know they could be putting your health at risk?
In the latest episode of the Functional Nutrition Podcast, I reveal the hidden dangers that doctors don’t always mention. From increasing your risk of type 2 diabetes and dementia to causing muscle weakness and memory loss, statins may not be the solution they’re made out to be.
Why Cholesterol Isn’t the Enemy
Contrary to popular belief, cholesterol is essential for your body. It plays a critical role in cellular function, brain health, and hormone production.
Here I will explain why lowering your cholesterol might not be the key to heart health, and why focusing on reducing inflammation is a far better strategy for overall well-being.
What You Can Do Instead
If you’ve been prescribed statins, this episode is a must-listen. I outline practical, drug-free strategies to improve your heart health and prevent chronic diseases.
From adjusting your diet and incorporating intermittent fasting to getting regular exercise, he provides actionable tips to help you take control of your health.
