You've Been LIED to About Cholesterol

You've been told for decades that cholesterol is the enemy: a dangerous substance to be lowered at all costs. But what if that conventional wisdom is incomplete, and what if low cholesterol is actually breaking your hormones, your brain, and your metabolism?

In today’s video, I’m debunking the biggest cholesterol myths using science and functional medicine principles. I break down its critical roles as a structural necessity and master hormone ingredient, explain why it's essential for a sharp brain, and reveal the truth about why your LDL might go up when you switch to a fat-burning, low-carb (keto), animal-based diet. This video provides the full context you need to look at your labs holistically and take control of your metabolic health without fear.
